Saint Peter Port is the capital of Guernsey, one of the two british bailiwick located in the English Channel, possession of the Crown and part of the Channel Islands. It is a small town, with a population of about 16,500, consisting mostly of steep narrow streets and steps on the overlooking slopes. A trading post existed here since before Roman times, but its pre-Christian name hasn't survived into the modern era. On the seaward side it faces Herm to the east, across the Little Roussel, and Sark and Brecqhou even further east across the Big Roussel between them and Herm. The Bréhon Tower sits in the Little Roussel between St Peter Port and Herm. Saint Peter Port Harbour, a natural anchorage used by the Romans, is now Guernsey's main port for passengers.
