Walking Holiday on the Channel Islands
Guernsey Coastal Footpath
including Herm and Sark
around the Island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands in the UK, with day trips to Herm and Sark.
This hiking tour offers an amazing variety of terrain, from heath-covered cliffs with views across the sea to the other Channel Islands, sandy bays, and 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 Peter Port, Guernsey. 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 Guernsey.
After exploring St Peter Port, you walk along by the harbour past the Underground Military Museum and the Aquarium. Enjoy very pleasant walking along the wooded cliff path to Fermain Bay, then around Jerbourg Point to Moulin Huet Bay. There are more stunning views as you walk around Saints Bay and Icart Point to Petit Bôt Bay.
Today's walk continues along the rugged cliff path of the stunning south coast of Guernsey from Petit Bôt Bay via Le Gouffre and Havre de Bon Repos. Visit the watch tower at La Prevôté, originally built to protect the island from the French, and later added to during the German occupation. The path continues around the Pleinmont peninsula at the extreme southwestern end of Guernsey to Portelet Harbour.
A very pleasant walk today from Portelet Harbour to Le Grand Havre alongside 12 beaches. Visit Fort Grey, a Martello tower housing a shipwreck museum, and if the tide is out, you can walk around Lihou Island.
Today you are walking around the northwest peninsula of Guernsey via Fort Pembroke and Fort La Marchant. As you come around the point the islands of Alderney, Herm and Sark can be clearly seen.
Take a day-trip from St Peter Port to the island of Herm, only half a square mile, but 4 miles of coastal footpaths. Herm is a paradise of dramatic cliffs, wild flowers, hills, valleys, golden beaches and no cars.
Take a day-trip from St Peter Port to the island of Sark, only 2 square miles, but 15 miles of coastal footpaths. Sark is entirely cliff-bound, and even the main harbours are at the foot of the cliff and access from them to the village is through tunnels and up a steep track. Little Sark is linked with the rest of the island by the knife-edge pass of Le Coupée.
You take the fast ferry back to Poole or St Malo. The ferry departure time from St Peter Port 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. Or if traveling by plane, we transfer you back to the airport. This walking holiday can be combined with our Jersey Coastal Footpath holiday to make a 15 day holiday.
