Walking on Guernsey

This walking guide to the islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm in the Channel Islands, describes 24 walks, parts of many of which can be combined to make up the Guernsey Coastal Walk. Famous for sunshine, history and a wonderful coastline, Guernsey is an intriguing destination for travellers. Outwardly British but with French overtones, the island has a long tourist season and is often busy with visitors. The walks in this guide use good paths and tracks as well as quiet country roads. Occasionally, more rugged paths are used to explore the excellent cliff coastline. Guernsey has plenty of interesting historical sites and attractions to visit including castles, churches and museums. With its companion guide, 'Walking on Jersey' published at the same time, this is the first guide to cover the new Channel Islands Way.
