Jersey walks
Upstream to Hamptonne
Here is a short stroll through Waterwork’s Valley to Hamptonne, the living farm museum. This woodland path was created entirely by volunteers from the Parish of St Lawrence to celebrate the Millennium. The route was decided upon in October 1998, and work started in November of that year. A nucleus of about 40 people took part in the scheme. Several private landowners generously allowed the path to cross their land, but most of the land that the path crosses is owned by Jersey Water.
Goodnight – Rozel
This section is the most spectacular and also the most challenging on the North Coast. Breathtaking coastal scenery, a woodland known as ‘Egypt’, a tea plantation and, to round it off, the charm of the small, colourful harbour at Rozel. This is the highest part of the island, dominated by the Platons, a peak rising to 143 metres.You can stop off at Bouley Bay, served by Line 4.
Grève de Lecq – Bonne Nuit
This stretch of rugged coastline passes close to Agois Island, a rock separated from the mainland by just a few metres and inhabited since prehistoric times. Devil’s Hole is a natural crater carved into the sheer cliff face. The walk ends at Bonne Nuit Bay, offering a breathtaking view. Bonne Nuit is so named because of its reputation as a calm and peaceful anchorage.
Etacq – Grève de Lecq
The route starts to the north of Saint-Ouen Bay, runs along a moorland area and then follows the cliffs of the north coast, passing by the popular Plémont beach before ending at the small seaside resort of Grève de Lecq.
South-West Coast of Jersey: the St Brelade circuit
This walk can be done in two stages. The start and finish points are in St Brelade. Given the number of sites worth stopping at, it’s best to spread it over two days (several bus routes serve the route, including at Corbière, St Brelade Bay, Portelet and St Aubin).
The variety and beauty of the different landscapes in the south-west of the island punctuate this route, from the Blanches Banques Dunes and St Ouen Bay to the pink granite coast between Corbière and St Aubin, St Brelade Bay, the port of St Aubin and the shaded Railway Walk.
South-west coast of Jersey
From Pointe de la Corbière to Saint Helier, the hike alternates between paths along the cliffs and steps on the beaches of Saint Brélade and Saint Helier bays.
