This coastal walk links Jerbourg to Petit Bot, in the south-east of Guernsey, following the spectacular cliff path as closely as possible. The route alternates between coastal paths, wooded sections, steps and steeper trails, with numerous viewpoints overlooking the English Channel. The route follows the rugged contours of the coastline and passes through several small, unspoilt coves and inlets. After the panoramic views at Jerbourg, the path descends and climbs in keeping with the terrain, before reaching the magnificent bay of Petit Bot. This is a particularly enjoyable walk for exploring the island’s southern coast, amidst cliffs, lush vegetation and seascapes. However, some sections require caution, particularly during the descents and ascents near the seaside.

This almost complete tour will introduce you to the different aspects of Guernsey's capital: its ports, monuments, museums, gardens, working-class neighbourhoods and upmarket areas. The city is built on a hill, with numerous steps connecting the different neighbourhoods, which will give your legs a workout but also allow you to discover some beautiful views.

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.

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.

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.

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.
