La Coupée
The narrow isthmus between Great Sark and Little Sark appears as a thin thread of land with water close on both sides. It is the most striking line on the island's map.

The island
Sark is one of the smaller Channel Islands and lies east of Guernsey. From above it is a compact plateau edged almost entirely by steep cliffs. The island has two parts, Great Sark to the north and Little Sark to the south. They are connected by La Coupée, a narrow ridge with sheer drops on both sides and a road along its crest.
There are no cars on Sark. People get around on foot, by bicycle, by horse-drawn carriage or by tractor, so the map shows lanes and tracks rather than roads in the usual sense. These spread across open fields between scattered houses and farms. The small harbours sit at the foot of the cliffs and are reached from the plateau by short tunnels and steep paths.
In 2011 Sark became the world's first designated Dark Sky Island, recognised for its lack of light pollution. It also kept a feudal system of government until reforms in 2008. A Sark map poster shows how much fits into such a small space: the plateau, the lanes, the isthmus and the broken, cove-lined coast around them.
The narrow isthmus between Great Sark and Little Sark appears as a thin thread of land with water close on both sides. It is the most striking line on the island's map.
Without motor traffic, Sark's lanes and paths are fine and informal. They link farms, fields and the village area in an irregular web across the plateau.
The coastline breaks into headlands, coves and offshore rocks. This gives the island a ragged, detailed edge that contrasts with its quiet, open interior.

Why Sark
Sark draws walkers, stargazers and people who want to remember a place without traffic or streetlights. The island is small enough that every lane and path shows at poster scale, so the print is detailed without being cluttered.
You can set the title and subtitle however you like, perhaps with the date of your visit, and edit the coordinates line if you wish. Choose from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Noir is a quiet nod to Sark's dark skies.
