About Sark
To visit Sark is to step sideways in time. The island abolished cars generations ago, and the only engine you'll hear is the tractor-trailer that collects luggage from the harbour. Sark is three miles long and two miles wide, and getting around means walking or cycling — which is, it turns out, exactly the right speed for seeing it properly. The scenery is extraordinary: sheer cliffs dropping into turquoise coves, prehistoric standing stones on open heathland, and cave systems accessible only at low tide. At night, with almost no artificial light, the sky above Sark is one of the darkest in Europe. It was the world's first Dark Sky Island.
