SITUATION Le Fort occupies a scenic setting close to ‘Le Banquette’, one of the original settlers landing points at the north of the island. A 10-minute walk from the village along flat country lanes brings you to a small ‘clos’ of traditional 16th century cottages of which Le Fort is central. A 5-minute walk to the west takes you onward to L’Eperquerie common, the whole surrounded by superb rural and coastal scenery.
Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports. Flight time to Gatwick is about thirty minutes by jet.

SARK  Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities and telecommunications for residents and visitors alike. Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement. Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants and public houses. There are 2 churches, a school catering for children to the age of 15, a busy Island Hall where the strong sense of a lively community ensures many interesting social events are organised.

TAXATION Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, value-added-tax or inheritance tax on its residents. Other, local taxes are very moderate.
