Path Walkthrough
Quiet country lanes and long stretches across cliffs and sand comprise this round island walk along the more subdued side of The Channel Islands. The route is primarily coastal, however walkers can expect to cross paths with tranquil woodland and nature trails as they make their way towards the north of the island.
The north/west and the south/eastern sides of the island have a different character, and you'll notice the change as the scenery starts to shift between the rugged cliffs of the south to the sandy bays of the west. The southern section route undulates more than the other sections of the island, and is comparatively more coastal in nature. As you head north you'll find the going underfoot a lot more gentle, with nature reserves inland and flat country lanes.

Points of Interest
Sark
Visiting Sark is like slipping back into another time entirely, no motorised vehicles travel its roads (with the exception of tractors) and the island is governed by its own island parliament.
It's a much wilder landscape that the other Channel Islands, with travel around the island conducted on foot, bike or horse and carriage. Visitors to the island may want to walk across the La Coupée (pictured) to the little Sark peninsula. Sark Shipping Company run ferries (www.sarkshippingcompany.com) that operate daily from St Peter Port (45 mins).
Herm
Aside from a few historic buildings (a pub, hotel and a collection of cottages) the island of Herm is blissfully undeveloped. Yet despite its subdued nature, the island has neolithic burial chambers, sites of Nazi occupation and a history of hosting an eclectic mix of famous residents.
It's a great place to relax, and there are a few campsites along the long quiet, stretches of surf. Ferries to the island are operated by Travel Trident, (www.traveltrident.com) operating daily from St Peter Port (20 mins travel time).
