A guidebook to walking on Guernsey in the Channel Islands, featuring 30 of the best long and short day walks. We cover not only Guernsey, but the nearby islands of Alderney, Sark and Herm, showing trekking routes of varying difficulty, all of which are mapped in detail at a scale of 1:25,000.
The hikes follow centuries-old paths to prehistoric burial grounds and World War II remnants with a mixture of steep cliff climbs and easy strolling. This guide also includes a car tour, a touring map of Guernsey, a plan of St Peter Port and free downloadable GPS tracks.
When to go: Best time to walk is in the spring, especially April/May when the spring flowers are out. But walking is enjoyable through to October, and even in the winter months if you don’t mind showers and bracing breezes.
