Walking Holiday on the Channel Islands
Jersey Coastal Footpath

 
Enjoy a self-guided "around island" walking holiday on the 48 mile coastal footpath
around the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands in the UK.

This hiking tour offers an amazing variety of terrain, from heath-covered cliffs with views across the sea to the other Channel Islands, sloping sandy bays, secluded harbours to rocky coves.

Walking holiday on Jersey in the Channel Islands This walking holiday on this wonderful coastal path of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, can be walked over 6 days at about 8 miles per day, or you can walk it over 5 days at about 10 miles per day. Why not take a rest day, explore the wonderful beaches or the many inland paths. We include your daily transfers back to your accommodation so all you have to do is enjoy this superb coastal walk.
Day 1: Arrive Weymouth or Poole
To start your Channel Islands walking holiday you make your own way to Weymouth or Poole in Dorset to get the fast catamaran ferry to St Helier, Jersey. We can assist with air, coach or train transfers if required. You could use this as an opportunity to explore the Jurassic Coast, or combine this holiday with a walking holiday on the South West Coast Path. Car parking is available for the duration of your self-guided walking holiday on Jersey. We transfer you from the ferry or airport to your accommodation in the charming harbour village of St Aubin.

Then you walk past the very picturesque Portelet Bay and St Brelade's Bay to Corbiere Point. Here is Corbiere Lighthouse on the Southwest point of Jersey. Turning north you can see the surfers taking advantage of the Atlantic rollers in St Ouen's Bay.
Day 3: La Pulente to Greve de Lecq    10 miles
After St Ouen's Bay you walk along the cliff tops to Grosnez Castle, dating from the 14th century. The other Channel Islands, Guernsey, Jethou, Herm, Sark, the Paternosters and Alderney can clearly be seen.

Walking on from Greve de Lecq you come to Devil's Hole, a dramatic collapsed cave. On reaching Sorel Point, the most northerly tip of Jersey, you can see the Normandy coast over to the east. You continue on the Jersey Coastal Footpath past Wolf's Caves to Bonne Nuit Bay, and ideal stop for local crab sandwiches for lunch. After leaving Bonne Nuit Bay the coastal footpath skirts Les Platons, at 469ft/143m the highest point on the Island of Jersey.
Day 5: Bouley Bay to Gorey    9 miles
From Bouley Bay the coastal footpath continues to Rozel Bay and Fliquet Bay, the closest point to the French coast, just 14 miles away. Walking at sea level now the path continues to St Catherine's Bay. The landmark of Mont Orgueil Castle in Gorey guides you to the end of today's walk and a visit to this castle is a highlight of any holiday in Jersey.

Here you can walk along the beach or the edge of the common as you pass the Royal Jersey Golf Club. The coastline towards St Helier is a lunar-like seascape that is covered twice daily by Jersey's massive 40ft/12m tides, one of the highest tides in the world.
Day 7: St Helier to St Aubin, via Jersey War Tunnels    5 miles
Take the Petit Train to Jersey's capital St Helier and visit Jersey's many heritage sites. Walk out to Elizabeth Castle, built by Sir Walter Raleigh while he was Governor of Jersey. If the tide is in, take the sea tractor. Visit St Matthew's, the glass church decorated by Lalique, then take the inland woodland walk to the Jersey War Tunnels, a permanent reminder of the German Occupation of Jersey.
