La Seigneurie
La Seigneurie is the traditional residence of the Seigneur of Sark. The Seigneur is the head of Sark in the Channel Islands.
Michael Beaumont, 22nd Seigneur of Sark, and his wife, Diana, moved from the Seigneurie to a smaller cottage on their estate when frail health triggered a need for a smaller residence that was better suited to aging residents. In 2009, Michael Beaumont agreed to allow David Synnott and his wife to live in the Seigneurie for ten years, in return for making some renovations.
Michael Beaumont died on 3 July 2016 and was succeeded by his eldest son, Major Christopher Beaumont.
Both the House and the gardens of the Seigneurie were open to the public as of 2018.[1]
Sark Lighthouse
Lighthouse in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. Sark Lighthouse is an active lighthouse located on the side of cliffs at Point Robert, at the north east of Sark, and guides vessels passing through the Channel Islands away from Blanchard Rock, which lies several miles to the east. It was constructed by Trinity House in 1913 and comprises a white, octagonal tower rising from flat-roofed service rooms and cottages, all built of stone. Access is provided by steps down from the top of the cliff, but the lighthouse was automated in 1994 and is now remotely monitored from the Trinity House operations centre in Harwich, Essex.
Sark was a desirable place for lighthouse keepers to be posted. As it was considered a 'rock station', pay for serving there was good but it was not as remote as other lighthouses of that class. It might have been the only rock station where the keepers could go to the pub when not working.[2]
La Coupée
Little Sark is a peninsula forming the southern section of the Channel Island of Sark. There is a hamlet here, and also a guesthouse and cafe at La Sablonnerie.[3]
