Silver accredited tour guide Victoria Robinson heads a guided tour of Houmet Paradis Join Silver-accredited tour guide, Victoria Robinson on Saturday 19th September, in a rare opportunity to have a guided tour of Houmet Paradis and the surrounding area. This tiny north-eastern islet takes its name from the word 'paradise' and has a fascinating past. Hear about connections to Victor Hugo, the Occupation, quarrying and more. This small island was purchased in 2004 by a group of anonymous locals for the people of Guernsey and comes under the stewardship of the Trust. The tranquil island is accessible at low tide and is a vital nature reserve. Paradis provides undisturbed roosting places for seabirds and waders and is a breeding site for terns, oystercatchers and gulls, as well as being richer in flora than any other of Guernsey's tidal islands, including Lihou.  Full details of the Tour can be found HERE:
