 Channel Islands        

     The two main islands. Jersey and Quernsey, are remarkable in that they present a combination of enjoyment and peace and quiet. Neither of the islands is very big(only ten miles long) and so all parts of these coasts are easily reached from the main centers—St. Heller and St. Peter Port. In both these towns and particularly in Jersry’s St.Heller are concentrated the amusements of really big resorts. The nearness of France gives a continental atmosphere; the weather is far better than in England. The other three islands, Jethou, Herm and Sark are small and quiet.

Isles of Scilly     

     The islands are really small and quiet; the weather is warm but windy. The islands are excellent for those who enjoy exploring small inlets（小湾）, creeks and bays on foot, or even better, in a boat.

Isle of Wight

The island is 24 miles across and therefore quiet large. The scenery is good and varied. The resorts are neither overlarge nor showy.(艳丽). The crowds seem content with entertaining but quieter holidays. The island has the best sunshine record in Britain.
