About Alderney
Alderney is the most northern of the Channel Islands
and the nearest to England and France. It is only 9 miles off the coast of Normandy and it still retains
a Norman flavour. Alderney-French an old dialect which used to be spoken freely on the island has completely
disappeared, but place names and surnames of the locals retain a French flavour. Alderney
which is translated into Aurigny; Auregnais: Aoeur'gny in French. The name of the island in French is Aurigny which one of the airlines still uses today. Quite
how the name became Alderney is something that historians have been unable to explain. Another name which
also is used on for the island is Riduna and some believe that this was a Roman name.
Located
in the English Channel, 60 miles/97kms from the south coast of England. A British Crown dependency and is part of
the Bailiwick of Guernsey which is 20 miles/32kms away. The island is only 3 miles/5kms long and 1.5 miles/2.5kms
wide and has a total area of 3 square miles. Alderney is only 10 miles/16 kms from France and separated from Cap
de la Hague in Normandy in France by the very dangerous currents of La Raz.
The
island is at its highest at 294 feet above sea level at Le Rond But which is east of the airport. Most
of the high ground is a plateau and on the south & west of the island are steep cliffs.The population of Alderney is 2400, and they are nicknamed
"vaques" after the cows, or "lapins" after the many rabbits seen in the island. Alderney has only one
parish, that of St Anne which covers the entire island of Alderney. The town of St Anne has a pretty church and cobbled streets.
Despite being a very small island, there are two primary schools and a secondary school. It has its own post office as well
as hotels, restaurants, banks and shops. Alderney has a real working community, its own government and is ambitious
to make its mark in the world.
Alderney

and sandy beaches. Like Guernsey and Jersey, the island enjoys a mild climate and independence.
