Famous for sunshine, history and a wonderful coastline, Jersey is an intriguing destination for travellers. The Channel Isles are suitable as a year-round destination and generally enjoys slightly milder weather than the south of England. Winters are mild, but there may be frosts and very occasionally snow.

The walks in this guidebook are mostly short and straightforward. The routes start with a town trail around St Helier. Walks 2 – 16 are mostly circular arranged around the coast of Jersey. Walk 17 is different, and is entirely dependent on a favourable tide. Walks 18 – 24 explore in inland part of Jersey

With its companion volume, Walking on Guernsey, offers a comprehensive guide to the walking on the Channel Islands.

  • plenty of interesting historical sites and attractions to visit including castles, churches and museums
  • a selection of short walks which can be linked to form longer routes, including the Jersey Coastal Walk and part of the new Channel Islands Way

Seasons

all year round, but particularly good in spring when the wild flowers are at their most colourful; busy during the summer, with long, sunny days; quieter in autumn; sometimes bleak in the winter

Centres

St Helier

Difficulty

good paths and tracks are used, along with quiet country roads, avoiding main roads wherever possible; gradients are often gentle, but there are some rugged cliff paths and occasional steep slopes; short walks can be combined to make longer ones

Must See

excellent cliff coastline, rocky and sandy beaches, with absorbing historical features - prehistoric sites, castles and churches, as well as massive concrete reminders of the Nazi occupation; plenty of museums and visitor attractions
