Sark is the smallest of the Channel Islands, located off the coast of Cotentin. It has been administered by a lord since 1565.
The lordship gardens, located within the grounds of a 16th century manor house, are its main tourist attraction. In 2011, it was the first island in the world to receive the “dark sky island” label awarded by the International Dark Sky Association. To get to Sark, you must first go to the port of Saint-Hélier, in Jersey.
