SITUATION: MAP REF:F3
The Old Forge set alongside the main road, from big Sark to Little Sark, some 100 meters from La Coupee. A modern build completed in 2011there are unrivalled views which need to be seen to be believed, inspiring sunrises to spectacular sunsets. To the East across agricultural land and out to sea with views of the French coastline and Jersey. To the South views of Little Sark and the Island of L’Etac and to the West stunning views over to Guernsey.

Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports. Flight time to Gatwick is about thirty minutes by jet.

Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars or tarmac roads and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities for residents and visitors alike. Arguably the smallest independent state remaining in Europe, Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement. Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants, and public houses.
