The Island on Foot<br />
<strong>Jersey</strong> was made for walkers – and it suits all kinds of walking, from<br />
a gentle stroll along the sands to the rugged challenge of breezy<br />
clifftops and rocky coves. For such a small island there’s astonishing<br />
variety – heath-covered cliffs <strong>with</strong> huge views across to the other<br />
Channel Islands, sloping sand bays, secluded harbours and that<br />
strange ‘moonscape’ of low-tide rocks and gullies.<br />
It’s easy to find your way around the island.<br />
There are beautiful footpaths all along the<br />
coast ideal for short walks, as well as an<br />
‘Around Island’ walk of 48 miles. This<br />
usually takes two or three days and can be<br />
completed on a self-guided basis <strong>with</strong> the<br />
aid of the Ordnance Survey Walking Map<br />
for <strong>Jersey</strong>. Guides are also available.<br />
Inland <strong>Jersey</strong> also extends a big invitation<br />
to walkers. The island’s famous ‘Green<br />
LA CORBIÈRE HEADLAND ON THE SOUTH WEST COAST<br />
Lanes’, a 50-mile network of idyllic country<br />
roads, are specially designated to preserve<br />
their tranquil nature and have a speed limit<br />
of 15mph <strong>with</strong> priority given to walkers,<br />
cyclists and horse riders. You’ll find them in<br />
all but two of <strong>Jersey</strong>’s 12 parishes –<br />
they’re easy to identify on the map and by<br />
the distinctive ‘Green Lane’ road sign.<br />
Guided Walks for 2008<br />
<strong>Jersey</strong> Tourism’s series of escorted walking<br />
tours take in some of the island’s unique<br />
history and heritage in the company of<br />
experienced Blue Badge guides.<br />
The <strong>Jersey</strong> ‘Flag Walk’<br />
Inspired by the red diagonal cross on the<br />
<strong>Jersey</strong> flag, the ‘Flag Walk’ appeals to<br />
walkers of all ages and abilities. It’s a series<br />
of four one-day escorted walks diagonally<br />
across the island from corner to corner<br />
discovering some of <strong>Jersey</strong>’s best-kept<br />
secrets. Available May– September.<br />
<strong>Jersey</strong> Maritime Trail<br />
St Helier’s salty history is revealed on this<br />
trail through the capital’s working harbours,<br />
marinas, promenades and gardens. Free<br />
guide available from <strong>Jersey</strong> Tourism.<br />
After Dark… Ghost Walks<br />
Keep your wits about you during this<br />
spine-chilling evening looking into <strong>Jersey</strong>’s<br />
sinister past. Your Ghost Host tells many<br />
terrifying tales in his redoubtable<br />
repertoire. But whatever happens, don’t<br />
look behind you! Available May–December.<br />
Gentle Wanders<br />
‘Gentle Wanders’ cater for walkers <strong>with</strong><br />
pushchairs or wheelchair users. Sites<br />
around the island have been assessed on<br />
ease of access and 14 ‘Wanders’ have<br />
been created, including those at Rozel<br />
Woods in St Martin, Les Grands Vaux<br />
reservoir in St Saviour and Les Landes<br />
maritime heathland in St Ouen. The ‘Gentle<br />
Wanders’ guide is available from <strong>Jersey</strong><br />
Tourism for a small donation to charity.<br />
Stepping Out <strong>with</strong> the National<br />
Trust for <strong>Jersey</strong><br />
A year-long programme of free guided<br />
walks celebrates the island’s glorious<br />
coastline and rich natural history. Walks<br />
usually last around two hours. Please<br />
dress <strong>with</strong> an eye to the season and the<br />
weather. Sensible footwear essential,<br />
binoculars recommended! Everyone<br />
welcome. For more details:<br />
