La Manche is a fantastic choice for groups looking for a unique cultural experience. Whether your group is studying the French language or interested in heritage or food technology, leisure or tourism, Normandy will leave your students feeling inspired and enthused. It’s plain sailing getting to Cherbourg Port just a few hours from Poole and Portsmouth by ferry! Cherbourg has been the “Port of the Americas” for over a century and is still famous for its hospitality. Use Cherbourg as your base to visit the Cotentin Peninsula, D-Day Beaches and Mont Saint-Michel. Exploring La Manche is an exciting trip back in time. Soak up the history of William the Conqueror and the bonds that united Normandy and England in the Middle Ages. Dive into the Second World War and relive the Landings when British and American soldiers reached Normandy. Exploring La Manche is a chance to get your teeth into the region’s culinary expertise and local produce from land and sea: butter, cream, camembert, cider, marsh lamb, oysters and more. Exploring La Manche is heart-thumping fun with a wealth of exciting things to do. Come breathe the fresh air on La Manche’s 360km of coastline : land sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking etc. La Manche is the ultimate scenic playground with hiking trails, green paths, bike paths, horse rides and climbing sites. La Manche is also home to safe and secure approved accommodation centres designed especially for school groups or young children and teenagers.

The city is sheltered by the largest artificial harbour on the planet and Cherbourg is a world-renowned marina. No trip to the city would be complete without visiting La Cité de la Mer. Students clamber aboard the Redoutable, the biggest submarine open to visitors in the world. They will never forget their trip to the Titanic area which tells the story of the legendary ship’s crossing up to the night it sank. Barfleur The old transatlantic harbour station of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin © Estelle Hertault - CDT50 © Jérôme Houyvet - CDT50 Head west out of Cherbourg to La Hague, also called “Little Ireland”. This unspoilt and protected cape is bursting with cliffs and rocks carved out by the sea, heaths, coves and beaches covered in sand or pebbles. Venture east of Cherbourg to soak up the history of William the Conqueror in the pretty ports of Barfleur and Saint-Vaast la Hougue. Take to the high seas and explore Tatihou Island where you’ll find collections of underwater remnants from the 1692 Battle of La Hougue which saw the French Navy wage war against the Anglo-Dutch fleet. Explore the towns of Bricquebec, Saint-Sauveur le Vicomte and Valognes in the heart of the Contentin Peninsula and experience their exciting history and heritage: mansions in Valognes, castles in Saint-Sauveur le Vicomte and Bricquebec, Lessay Abbey and so much more.

Perched high on a 92m rock formation, Mont-Saint-Michel is a medieval monastery and one of France’s most stunning sights. Pilgrims flocked here for centuries and this holy mount and its breathtaking bay are UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 1979. A guided tour across the bay brings to life the legends and history of this famous landmark. Watch out for quicksand! Exceptional : during the highest tides the mount is completely surrounded by water. Mont Saint.-Michel’s tides can rise up to 15 meters and rush back in to the bay “at the pace of a galloping horse”. Next to Mont-Saint-Michel, visit Avranches and the Scriptorial Museum. Mont Saint-Michel monks were revered for their copying skills before the printing press became popular. Travel back in time with interactive games, films and unique documents to learn how parchments were made and how ink and pigments were prepared.

  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.
