Walking Holidays in the Channels Islands

Guernsey, the second-largest of the Channel Islands that you’ll visit, is a one-hour boat ride from Jersey. Some of the many notable places of interest include the hike from Jerbourg Cape to Saint-Peter through the pretty beach of Fermain Bay, along with Elizabeth Castle, the island’s sophisticated dock and a stylish shopping area.

The smallest of the Channel Islands you’ll explore on your walking holiday, Sark, has plenty to offer and although significantly smaller in size, what it lacks in area it more than makes up for in charm. This is a very attractive island with beautiful scenery, no vehicular traffic and a wonderfully relaxed pace of life that must be experienced.

The unique character of the Islands is a drawcard in itself. Whilst they are undeniably British, they have a slight but noticeable French influence which adds to their unique qualities. History enthusiasts will know well that during WWII Germany invaded the Islands, and there are still many relics from that time that can be visited on our easy walking tour, including concealed hospitals and the battlements clearly visible along the coastline.
