Alderney Occupation Trail to include 80 WW2 sites
A new walking trail has been launched in Alderney to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. The Occupation Trail has been developed by Visit Alderney with the help of historian Colin Partridge. A spokesperson for the States of Alderney said the trail guided participants across 80 key sites around the island that played pivotal roles during the German occupation between 1940 and 1945. "This trail not only commemorates the past but helps future generations understand Alderney's place in the wider story of World War Two," said Caroline Gauvain from Visit Alderney. Highlights of the trail include the Odeon, the Hospital Bunker and other significant locations, brought to life with photographs from the time. The experience can be explored using a printed map available at the Alderney Visitor Centre or accessed online. Follow BBC Guernsey on X and Facebook.
