A Journey Through Town private walking tour of Saint Peter Port

Guernsey Museum is set amidst this late 19th century pleasure garden on the outskirts of St Peter Port. These historic gardens were established in 1894 in the grounds of Candie House and offer excellent panoramic views over the rooftops of St. Peter Port to the neighbouring islands. The Lower Gardens were sympathetically refurbished and restored in 1998-99 and are a rare surviving example of a Victorian Public Flower Garden. Visitors to the gardens can discover a wide variety of plants from all over the world. One of Candie's restored historic greenhouses, dating to c. 1792/93, hosts the annual Nerine Festival each October. Once part of a private estate, the award-winning, restored Victorian Candie Gardens offer spectacular views across St Peter Port harbor and our sister islands of Herm, Sark, and Jethou, along with a rare example of a late 19th-century public flower garden.

Saint Peter Port is the capital of Guernsey as well as the main port. The population in 2019 was 18,958. In Guernésiais and in French, historically the official language of Guernsey, the name of the town and its surrounding parish is St Pierre Port. The "port" distinguishes this parish from Saint Pierre Du Bois. As well as being a parish, St. Peter Port is a small town consisting mostly of steep narrow streets and steps on the overlooking slopes. It is known that a trading post/town existed here before Roman times with a pre-Christian name which has not survived. People from St. Peter Port, were nicknamed "les Villais" (the townspeople) or "cllichards" in Guernésiais.

The Town Church is also known as the "Parish Church of St Peter Port", "Sancti Petri du Portu" and "Town Church of St Peter, Apostle & Martyr".

The current building, probably started in the 13th century was completed in its current format by 1466. The Town Church is considered the main island church so serves both the States of Deliberation and the Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey as well as the parishioners of Saint Peter Port. The current rector is the Reverend Matthew Barrett.
