Sark
Carriages one of Sark’s longest established carriage tour operators
is situated in the north east corner of Sark at Le Grand Fort Farm.
The Horse and carriage business at Le Grand Fort originally started
back in the late 1800s by Hepsibar Perrée who first held the Royal
Mail contract transporting the mail by white mule and trap from
Creux Harbour up to the post office. Then later Charles Perrée one
of the late Royal coachmen operated from Le Grand Fort with his
horses, delivering coal, cargo, and the carriage tours around the
Island. The Business was then passed down to John and Hannie Perrée
who over the years took thousands of happy visitors around the
island showing them Sark’s fantastic views and a insight into the
way of life on the Island. Now all those Generations later Sark
Carriages is still in operation by owner and manager Michelle Perrée
with an assortment of vehicles for horse-drawn transport and around

of seeing the island of Sark.

The Isle of Sark Channel
Islands
The
island of Sark is arguably the least known and least visited of the
Channel Islands. It is a romantic hideaway from the pressures of the
modern world, and one of its charms is the lack of tourist
infrastructure. The fact that the only means of transport is by
foot, bicycle, tractor or horse and carriage, only serve to add to
its overall appeal.Contrast it with the urban living on mainland
Britain and it is a formula that will captivate anyone who sets foot
on these shores.
