Braye Harbour
Braye Harbour is the main
harbour of
Alderney in the
Channel Islands, a British dependency, not in the UK. It has one of the longest harbour walls in
Europe.
It is here that most of the island's freight comes in, and also the ferry. It is more or less a suburb of
St Anne.
Braye is a
Norman word found in several locations around the coasts of the Channel Islands. It means a "passage between rocks".
