Walking Holiday on the Channel Islands
Jersey Coastal Footpath
around the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands in the UK.
This hiking tour offers an amazing variety of terrain, from heath-covered cliffs with views across the sea to the other Channel Islands, sloping sandy bays, secluded harbours to rocky coves.
The ferry departure time from Poole is dependent on the tides and so the departure time can be early. If this is the case we can include an overnight stay in Poole to enable you to be in plenty of time for the ferry.
To start your Channel Islands walking holiday you make your own way to Poole in Dorset or St Malo in France to get the fast catamaran ferry to St Helier, Jersey. We can assist with air, coach or train transfers if required. You could use this as an opportunity to explore the Jurassic Coast, or combine this holiday with a walking holiday on the South West Coast Path. Car parking is available for the duration of your self-guided walking holiday on Jersey. We transfer you from the ferry or airport to your accommodation in the charming harbour village of St Aubin.
Walking from St Aubin past the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club you follow the Jersey Coastal Footpath towards Noirmont Point. Here there are many relics from the German Occupation. Then you walk past the very picturesque Portelet Bay and St Brelade's Bay to Corbiere Point. Here is Corbiere Lighthouse on the Southwest point of Jersey. Turning north you can see the surfers taking advantage of the Atlantic rollers in St Ouen's Bay.
After St Ouen's Bay you walk along the cliff tops to Grosnez Castle, dating from the 14th century. The other Channel Islands, Guernsey, Jethou, Herm, Sark, the Paternosters and Alderney can clearly be seen.
Walking on from Greve de Lecq you come to Devil's Hole, a dramatic collapsed cave. On reaching Sorel Point, the most northerly tip of Jersey, you can see the Normandy coast over to the east. You continue on the Jersey Coastal Footpath past Wolf's Caves to Bonne Nuit Bay, and ideal stop for local crab sandwiches for lunch. After leaving Bonne Nuit Bay the coastal footpath skirts Les Platons, at 469ft/143m the highest point on the Island of Jersey.
From Bouley Bay the coastal footpath continues to Rozel Bay and Fliquet Bay, the closest point to the French coast, just 14 miles away. Walking at sea level now the path continues to St Catherine's Bay. The landmark of Mont Orgueil Castle in Gorey guides you to the end of today's walk and a visit to this castle is a highlight of any holiday in Jersey.
Explore the network of staircases, towers and rooms of historic Mont Orgueil Castle before you leave Gorey and continue on your Jersey Coastal Footpath walk. Here you can walk along the beach or the edge of the common as you pass the Royal Jersey Golf Club. The coastline towards St Helier is a lunar-like seascape that is covered twice daily by Jersey's massive 40ft/12m tides, one of the highest tides in the world.
Take the Petit Train to Jersey's capital St Helier and visit Jersey's many heritage sites. Walk out to Elizabeth Castle, built by Sir Walter Raleigh while he was Governor of Jersey. If the tide is in, take the sea tractor. Visit St Matthew's, the glass church decorated by Lalique, then take the inland woodland walk to the Jersey War Tunnels, a permanent reminder of the German Occupation of Jersey.
Take a day trip to Guernsey and/or to St Malo, depending on sailing schedule.
We transfer you to the harbour in St Helier for the fast ferry back to Poole or St Malo. The ferry departure time from St Helier is dependent on the tides and so the arrival time in Poole can be late. If this is the case we can include an overnight stay in Poole. If traveling by plane, we transfer you back to the airport.
This walking holiday can be combined with our Guernsey holiday to make a 15 day holiday.
The coast paths of these islands offer relaxing walking and a great way to unwind and recuperate.
Online booking available. A deposit of £55 per person is required to secure the booking, with the balance due 6 weeks before departure.
