No cars, no streetlights and officially the world's first Dark Sky Island — Sark runs on bicycles, tractors and tides. Cross the vertiginous La Coupée causeway to Little Sark, swim in the Venus Pool at low tide, and spend the evenings under a Milky Way most city couples have never actually seen. Ferries run from Guernsey in under an hour. Book a night at the Stocks Hotel in autumn, when the stargazing is at its best.
