Herm, a tiny islet three miles from Guernsey is part of the Guernsey bailiwick. Too small for independence, it is owned by Guernsey and has been operated, under lease, by the same family for three generations. There is a hotel, campsites, self catering accommodation and a gift shop where you can buy the island's colorful stamps, issued until 1969.
