Autumn Walking Festival
Saturday 12 September - Sunday 27 September 2026
Join experienced and professional guides from the Bailiwick of Guernsey Guild of Accredited Guides for their annual Autumn Walking Festival. From Saturday 12 to Sunday 27 September 2026, there are a range of fantastic guided walks, showing off the wonders of Guernsey, Herm and Sark.
From coastal rambles to hidden ruettes tranquilles, to exploring our beautiful capital, each walk starts close to a bus stop and parking area, and all are rated from an easy amble to a more testing hike. Through locally accredited guides, this is such a wonderful way to discover so much about the islands.
Information will be updated as the walks for 2026 are confirmed.
