CANDIE GARDENS & MUSEUM
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 refurbished in 1998-99 and are a rare surviving example of a Victorian Public Flower Garden. One of Candie’s restored historic greenhouses, hosts the annual Nerine Festival each October.
Candie Gardens are situated 5 minutes’ walk from the Duke of Normandie. Admission to the Gardens is free and they are open from dawn to dusk. Users of wheelchairs and pushchairs should note that the Gardens include some steep paths.

During his exile Hugo lived in Hauteville House, which has been preserved exactly as it was. Hugo’s abundant creativity is displayed in the astonishing richness of its decoration. As Charles Hugo put it, the house is “a veritable three-storey autograph, a poem in several rooms”.
