Jersey Round Island Walking Holidays

The Jersey Round Island Walk is a circuit of Jersey’s beautiful coastline, with a tremendous contrast in scenery for such a compact area. Heather covers the north coast path upwards affording you fantastic views of the other Channel Islands, while in the south the landscape shifts into sloping sandy bays and harbours surrounding the capital St Helier.

From the rockier marine environment on the island’s east coast, the Cherbourg peninsula is visible just 18 miles across the Channel in France, while on the west coast the blue waters and wide sands of St Ouen’s Bay unfold before your eyes.

Expansive cliff and coastal paths with inland sections through woodland along country lanes make up the paths that encompass Jersey island. Gradients are often gentle, but there are some rugged cliff paths and occasional steep slopes found along the coast. However, the island is mainly flat, and steep ascents are not overly prolonged with Jersey’s highest point being 446 ft - only a few yards inland at Les Platons.

Walkers can expect to find prehistoric sites, castles and churches, as well as concrete reminders of the Nazi occupation punctuated with tiny, colourful fishing harbours such as Bouley Bay.
