Our island kitchen

Our island is bursting with flavour from freshly dug local produce and rich creamy milk to seafood straight from the island’s clear waters.

KILN FARM DAIRY

You won’t be able to miss our gorgeous cows with their rich creamy milk. Why not treat yourself to a pint of fresh milk, some rich yellow Alderney butter, luxurious icecream or fresh beef while you’re here.

ALDERNEY FREE RANGE PIGS

Our Oxford Sandy and Blacks enjoy a free range life which makes the pork from these pigs exceptional. You can find it on sale in the island’s supermarkets and on the menus of our restaurants.

ALDERNEY HONEY

With an array of wildflowers the island is reportedly one of only two worldwide (the other being Hawaii!) that is completely free of bee diseases and a perfect place for happy and healthy bees. That’s why Alderney honey is so divine!

ALDERNEY ROOTS

In shops and eateries across the island, enjoy freshly dug vegetables grown by this family run market garden who pride themselves on being sustainable and chemical free.

HEDGE VEG

You’ll often see boxes and small ‘hedge veg’ stalls set up on a roadside. From fruit and vegetables, to flowers and eggs, home-made jams and chutneys they’re all for sale - just simply put the amount due in the honesty box.

See & do Walks and Trails

Discovering Alderney by foot is one of the best ways to explore the island’s breathtaking scenery.

Woodland, grassy commons, heaths, beaches and ponds are all connected by a network of over forty miles of winding paths and tracks.

History has shaped the landscape over the centuries and the island offers a fantastic playground for walkers and explorers alike, with bunkers, forts and Neolithic remains. Wildlife abounds on our peaceful rock with a surprise awaiting you at every turn.

Whether you choose to make your own way or follow one of our self-guided walks, your senses will be awakened by the scent of gorse in flower, the taste of a ripe autumn blackberry, the call of an oystercatcher or the feel of the wind on your skin. Walking on Alderney evokes your senses and makes you feel alive.

SELF-GUIDED WALKS

Our self-guided walks, including the ‘Coast Path Challenge’ are free to pick up from the Visitor Information Centre or download from visitalderney.com. Each walk, for all walking abilities, provides you with history and interesting facts along the way.
