Herm is the smallest of the Channel Islands that is open to the public.

Herm is only 1​12 miles long. Cars are banned from the small island just like its Channel Island neighbour, Sark. Unlike Sark, bicycles are banned too. The sandy white beaches make Herm a walker's paradise.

Population: 60 (2002).
