In all there are more than 28 miles of pathways that stretch all the way from La Vallette on the eastern outskirts of St Peter Port to the ancient stone fairy ring at Pleinmont where the south coast meets the west. They will take you through scenery as diverse as shaded woodland that is carpeted in bluebells every spring, to golden bays like Moulin Huet, which was an inspiration for the great French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir.


On the west coast, Guernsey’s ever-changing shoreline brings more great discoveries for walkers. For example the short trek across the tidal causeway to the tiny island of Lihou, which forms part of the internationally recognised Ramsar Site. Before you tackle this one, however, make sure you get some good local advice because the Lihou walk is safe only during the lowest tidal periods.


Stride inland and you will be rewarded by an entirely different kind of experience as you enter the island’s rural heart, which is characterised by green country lanes, old granite farmhouses and charming roadside stalls, selling a variety of homegrown and homemade produce.


The pure ease of access to all Guernsey’s prime walking areas has spawned a whole infrastructure specially designed for those who love to explore on foot. As well as this, there are the smaller islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney to explore, and all are easy to reach.
