Spring Walking Festival
Saturday 23 May - Sunday 7 June 2026
Join experienced and professional Guides from the Bailiwick of Guernsey Guild of Accredited Guides for their annual Spring Walking Festival. From Saturday 23 May to Sunday 7 June, every day will see a range of guided walks exploring the wonders of Guernsey, Herm and Sark.
From coastal hikes and 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.
Information will be updated as the walks for 2026 are confirmed.
