La Coupée — Local services in Sark

Stunning combination of nature and architecture. The causeway/bridge in its current form was built by German POW's after the end of the German occupation of the Channel Islands. The location on the thin Arete linking Greater Sark to Little Sark is just sublime on a sunny day with the crystal clear waters lapping at the foot of the cliffs on either side. Even on a grey day you can't fail to be impressed with the scenic beauty of the place. Best enjoyed on a clear winter's day when there is nobody...

Don't believe the tourist pictures which i show first! It is very small and wide angles lenses appear to be used to make it look masive. 3-4 mins to cross maximum. Also very badly written sign saying it was built by German POWS. It could be just that or (talking to a Guernsey person) British POW that were German. I think the latter as the Germans were forced to surrender...

Lovely weather and beautiful scenery, unfortunately after walking up the hill from the ferry we were too late to hire the horse and carriage rides so had to walk the full length id Sark to cross La Coupée to visit our friends on little Sark so would recommend catching a lift on the tractor...
