Start from the car park on the road to the old semaphore station (D202; no through traffic beyond this point). From the D901, near Jobourg, follow the signs for ‘Nez de Jobourg’.
No signposting
(S/E) From the car park, head west and take the footpath that starts to the right of the refreshment kiosk. Walk past the bar-restaurant and you’ll come to a viewing platform with information boards and a compass rose.
Red and white + yellow markings
The GR®223 is marked with numbered signposts. The yellow markings are on dedicated posts bearing the words “Sentier littoral”.
(1) You’ll find the GR®223 at the corner of the bar-restaurant’s terrace (or by following a path down through a gap in the low wall of the viewing platform). Follow the GR® to the left. Head down the cliff path and then back up, first via a wooden staircase and then along a steep path. When you reach the railings, turn left and climb up to a promontory. Then head slightly downhill to the Nez de Jaubourg site (birdwatching site sign).
(2) Continue along the cliff path and pass a GR® marker. Head down, pass another marker and head back up. After a steep descent with a low stone wall on your left, you’ll reach the Bec de l’Âne: to the right, a view of the Nez de Jobourg; to the left, a view of the Bréquets (rock formations in the sea) and a path leading uphill, which you’ll need to take later to move away from the coast.
(3) Continue along the cliff path, head down, pass a marker post, cross a stream and head back up on the opposite side. At a signpost, turn left, immediately pass a hairpin bend and reach a junction with another marker post.
(4) Continue along the GR® and the Coastal Path by taking the path on the right. After a few metres, at a Fork in the road, turn left and head uphill. Further on, head downhill, cross a stream, pass a marker and climb back up to a rocky outcrop. N.B. If you continue for about a hundred metres past this outcrop, round a bend to the left, you’ll have a remarkable view of… the La Hague reprocessing plant, which may dissuade you from going any further.
(5) Retrace your steps back to the boundary marker seen earlier.
No signposting
(4) Then follow a good path to the right (north-west) which climbs gently away from the coast and then curves to the right, heading inland. After crossing a stream, the path becomes gravelly.
(6) Ignore a path on the right leading to a meadow and continue straight on along the tarmac road. Ignore a path on the left leading to a meadow (not shown on the map) and turn left with the road. The tarmac gives way to a gravel track; carry on straight ahead (due north) until you reach the access road to the signal box (D202). Follow this road to the right into the hamlet of Dannery.
Yellow signposting
(7) At the junction, turn left onto the D401 towards Auderville. Note a wash house on the right-hand side and, at the next Fork in the road, turn left, still heading towards Auderville. Continue straight on (west), ignoring the side roads, and pass through the hamlets of Mouchel and Samson in turn.
(8) At the crossroads, take the second right onto Rue des Fontaines towards Le Bûlot. At the fork in the road that appears after about fifty metres, turn right (ignore the sign for Les Bûlots on the left). After a shed on the right-hand side, the tarmac gives way to a path between two hedges. At the next fork in the road, turn right, then pass a large farm building on your right.
(9) At the T-junction, follow a farm track to the left. At a fork in the road, turn left. Immediately ignore a faint path on the left and head down between two hedges, with the Isle of Alderney clearly visible offshore. The slope becomes steeper and, after a right-hand bend, take in the view of Ecalgrain Bay.
Red and white markings
(10) At the junction, turn sharply left onto a tarmac road leading downhill and rejoin the GR®223 at a marker post. The tarmac soon gives way to a gravel track. Cross a stream and emerge at a junction.
No markings
(11) Turn right onto a path that climbs up to the Côte Soufflée headland. Retrace your steps.
Red and white markings
(11) Follow the path to the right (south), which starts at the foot of a sign warning you not to stray from the marked paths. Climb gently up a small valley with the stream you crossed earlier on your left. Then climb more steeply directly up towards a peak on your right which blocks the view of the sea. Further on, the view reopens and you walk gently uphill to the Nez des Voidries.
Unmarked
(1) Turn left at the corner of the bar-restaurant and take the footpath alongside the road to the car park (S/E).
