Depart Stand A and proceed to the Jerbourg. Here, on the southeast cliff-top, many scenes from the book are set. See where Dawsey. Amelia & Isola "lived", as well as the lanes, meadows, and farmhouses where the colourful characters conducted their lives. Walk to the viewpoint for splendid views of the other Channel Islands and France on a clear day, where Elizabeth met her German lover Christian and watched the German warplanes flying over to drop their bombs on London. On route to various locations, the driver guide will recount real-life tales of heroism, triumph over adversity and sheer determination shown by the Guernsey people during the long period of German occupation. Re-board the coach and drive to the Little Chapel that Dawsey took Juliet to see. Built by Brother Deodat, it is now regarded as the smallest consecrated church in the world. To impress his Bishop, Brother Deodat decided to cover the Little Chapel with many different types of shells and broken pieces of pottery. Leaving the Little Chapel, drive down to the west coast for a local refreshment of tea or coffee and a piece of Guernsey Gache at the Guernsey Pearl. Continue along the west coast and around the north of the Island on your way to the White Rock Pier. En route to the pier, see the many German fortifications as well as the Witches' Stone and Les Trepieds Dolmen that Dawsey showed Juliet. The Harbour played host to one of the darkest days in Guernsey’s history. German aircraft dropped bombs on vehicles that they thought were carrying troops, but were actually just trucks filled with tomatoes, causing the deaths of 34 innocent civilians. Opposite is a memorial dedicated to local residents who perished in the raid. The harbour is also the site where Eben describes to Juliet, the difficult decision many islanders had to make in whether to evacuate their children to England or keep them with them in Guernsey.
