Walking

With 28.5 miles of spectacular cliff top paths, plus numerous bays, rural lanes and common, Guernsey offers walkers numerous opportunities to explore. Getting out and about on foot is arguably the best way to get a real feel for the island and will allow you to discover much of what makes us so special.

As you walk you’ll be able to see rare, semi-tropical species of plants growing wild, including aloes, Madeira geraniums and Kaffir figs.  Alternatively, explore the streets of our capital, St Peter Port, and discover how the picturesque town became what it is today.

An extensive programme of walks led by accredited guides runs from April to September and in Spring and Autumn there are Walking Festivals. Out of season walks can be arranged on an ‘on demand’ basis. These provide a great opportunity to learn more about the island, providing you with insights that you might otherwise miss. 

Guernsey’s temperate climate and variety of habitat makes it an ideal place for many species of bird to nest or visit. There are RSPB walks throughout the spring and summer that will take you to the best places to observe them.

Various walking literature is available from the Guernsey Information Centre, and so why not pay them a visit during your stay.
