When you reach the dam, make sure to stop and take in the expansive view of St. Ouen’s Bay. Val de la Mare is a peaceful paradise and great spot for wildlife and bird watching with popular guests including owls, herons, shags, ducks and moorhens. If you’re an early bird, then the summer dawn chorus is not to be missed. The full circuit is 2.8 miles, but there are shorter alternative routes.
We are open all year round.
