Founded in 1964 by two Channel Islands businessmen, Condor Ferries is the main link between the UK, Jersey, Guernsey and Saint-Malo, carrying around a million passengers a year as well as the islands' freight. Since 2020 it has been owned by a consortium led by an infrastructure fund, with Brittany Ferries as a minority shareholder.

Weymouth

Weymouth sits close to the middle of the Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site, where the cliffs expose some 185 million years of geological history and fossil-hunters and walkers come for Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Just along the coast, the Isle of Portland, joined to the mainland by Chesil Beach, an eighteen-mile bank of shingle, gave its pale limestone to St Paul's Cathedral and much of the rebuilt City of London. Back in town, the Victorian Nothe Fort, now a museum, overlooks the harbour entrance, and the long, gently shelving beach is one of the most family-friendly on the south coast.

St Malo

The Falkland Islands owe their French name, Îles Malouines, to sailors from Saint-Malo who made the voyage there in the early 1700s, and the Spanish "Malvinas" comes from the same root. Another Malouin, Jacques Cartier, sailed from the harbour in April 1534 on the first of his voyages to what is now Canada. The sea is still the town's business: every four years the Route du Rhum, the solo transatlantic race, starts from here, drawing crowds to the pontoons. Inside the granite ramparts the old town is compact enough to explore in an afternoon, and both Cancale, famous for its oysters, and Mont-Saint-Michel are within about an hour's drive.
