Advantages: Peaceful

Disadvantages: Transport

If you get sea-sick, Sark is not the place for you as this island has no airport, so your only way of reaching it is by sea.

Cars are not allowed in Sark and the only motorised form of transport is tractors, which often have trailers on for transporting people up the long, steep hill from the harbour. Alternatives are pony and trap (don't worry, they come with drivers) or shanks' pony. You can also hire bikes once you get to town.

Because there are no cars, there are no tarmacked roads, only tracks, which adds to the feel of a land out of time. However, they have electricity, banks and all modern appliances, including the internet, so they're not completely backward!

Take a pony and trap tour around the island to see over the hedges, or hire a bike to get around. Whilst the island isn't huge, it certainly has enough to entertain for several days. Take a trip to Little Sark - it's attached to the main island by a narrow causeway, but this is large enough to take a pony and trap, it's not one of those rope bridges from the jungle!

Sark is the ideal place to relax away from the stresses of modern life, but not so cut off that you go mad!
