Anguerny

Anguerny, also known as Alderney, is the northernmost of the inhabited Channel Islands. It is part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Geographically, it lies about 10 miles (16 km) from Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, France, and approximately 60 miles (97 km) south of England.

The island's history includes Roman occupation, Norman rule, and periods of strategic military importance due to its location. Historically, Alderney was known in Latin as Riduna.

Anguerny's economy is primarily based on tourism, finance, and agriculture. It has its own parliament, the States of Alderney, which handles local matters. The UK government retains responsibility for defence and foreign relations.

The island is noted for its distinctive flora and fauna, including the blonde hedgehog. It has a relatively low population density and a rugged coastline. It is also known for its numerous Victorian-era fortifications and remnants of German occupation during World War II.
