Lihou Island

The following information is for people wishing to use the house on Lihou for the purpose of a residential or day visit. If you have any queries about any of the following, please contact the warden.

​

Guernsey schools wishing to book a residential stay in Lihou House must also submit the required Education permission forms well in advance of the planned trip. There is a very useful flowchart that describes what forms are needed.

​

Causeway times

​

The actual causeway times are different from the times that the States of Guernsey publishes.  The States apply a safety margin to account for the fact that visitors to the island are walking there, around the island and back. Official visitor times do not require this additional factor as most trips are one way and accompanied by the warden with a tractor.

​

Please click on the appropriate month link below for Lihou Charitable Trust causeway times. These times are only for use by people staying in the house. 'falling' equals the time the causeway opens* and 'rising' equals the time the causeway closes*

Wind direction and strength as well as barometric pressure can alter the above published times.
