A well signposted and beautiful walk with a range of terrains, outlooks and viewpoints. Lots of history to delve into. Wouldn’t be suitable for those with mobility issues though.

Consecrated in 1850 and built to the design of Sir George Gilbert Scott, this church is one of the finest examples of Victorian architecture in the Channel Islands.
All that has been written already about St. Anne's Church is accurate; a gorgeous building, internally and externally, and a well kept churchyard containing the grave of John Arlott, the wonderful cricket commentator whose voice evokes, for me anyway, the long hot summer of 1976 when I was a teenager whose only interest was opening the bowling for England...Ian Botham visited the island many times, and occasionally still pops down to the grave to open a bottle of red wine with him!

The beautiful and unspoiled island of Sark lies to the southeast of Guernsey, which features the La Seigneurie, an estate dating back to 1675 that was built on the site of a 6th-century monastery of St. Magloire.
The gardens of La Seigneurie are really magnificent and so peaceful. Despite the really hot weather the flowers were in full bloom and looked very fresh and colourful. I am not a gardener but really enjoyed walking along little pathways and smelling the perfumes of all the different varieties of roses and other plants. Afterwards we had some tea and delicious cakes at Hathaway’s café just next door.

An 800 year old castle that boasts incredible views of the whole East coast of Guernsey and across to the other islands of Herm, Sark and Alderney. Steeped in history that includes the English civil war and the German Occupation of the castle and islands during the second world war. There are four museums on military history, the RAF and the story of the castle and a new maritime museum hoping to be unveiled later in 2021. The grounds and gardens benefit from a full-time castle keeper tending the historic gardens and keeping it looking beautiful. The daily noon-day gun firing of a 32 pound cannon by a gunner in traditional 19th century uniform is the highlight of any visit and can be accompanied by a castle tour in the morning, tea in the cafe and relaxing in the sunshine!
Castle cornet has a fascinating history, great for kids for look around and for adults also, Remember to be there fro the noon day gun firing, 3 museums in one, local Militia, castle history, and the 201 squadron, long walk to it though.

Mont Orgueil Castle has cast its imposing shadow over the beautiful fishing port of Gorey for more than 800 years. One of the finest examples of a medieval fortress in existence, Mont Orgueil has witnessed many of the key events that have shaped Jersey’s history. Take in breathtaking views of the French coast as you delve into the network of staircases, towers and secret rooms to discover hidden treasures. We have a series of safety measures in place to help you enjoy your visit safely during the Covid-19 pandemic. These include a one-way system, local track-and-trace register and restricted group areas.
My husband and I spent a day in Gorey and visited the castle. Apart from the position which allows panoramic views of the surroundings from all angles and inside there are many many artefacts which explain so much about the castle,and how it played its part in the history of jersey. Each level of the castle has items of interest Well worth a visit Allow yourselves several hours A bonus is the little cafe which serves refreshments Much appreciated after our visit.

Feels more like the interior of a French ocean-liner of the period than a church. You must visit this church if you are interested in classy glass-makers.Here you have the only glass font in the world, striking door panels,ornate coloured Jersey lilies in an alcove, a real treat for the eye. I can't say I loved it as a church; it seemed uninviting, a little chilly . But as a unique Lalique commission for a church. Jersey tourism should make much more of its presence on the island than it does.Wow !
