The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Guernsey:
The Bailiwick of Guernsey – British Crown dependency located in the Channel Islands off the coast of Normandy.{{cite web|date=July 2, 2009|url=https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/guernsey/|title=Guernsey|work=The World Factbook|publisher=United States Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=July 23, 2009}}
As well as the Isle of Guernsey, the bailiwick also comprises Alderney, Sark, Herm, Jethou, Brecqhou, Burhou, Lihou and other islets. Although the defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom, Guernsey is not part of the UK but rather a separate possession of the Crown, comparable to the Isle of Man. Guernsey is also not part of the European Union. The island of Guernsey is divided into ten parishes. Together with the Bailiwick of Jersey, it is included in the collective grouping known as the Channel Islands. Guernsey belongs to the Common Travel Area.
