A Walker's Guide

For such a small Island – it’s only nine miles by five – it packs in an amazing variety of walking opportunities. Everywhere along the coast you’ll find gentle beach walks and spectacular cliff paths that take you to salty fishing harbours. Jersey’s woodland and hidden valleys are timeless and traditional, latticed with lanes and trails that lead to the green heart of the Island. And you can make your walks as long or as short, as comfortable or challenging as you like. There’s everything here from half-hour strolls to long distance around-Island coastal hikes.  

This guide will point you in the right direction. We have divided the Island into four sections or walking ‘points’. Each section introduces you to the kind of terrain you can expect, its wildlife and the places to visit en route.

We’ve also included lots of information and walking tips to help you on your way.
