Leaving St Peter Port you are immediately graced with bluebell carpeted woods as you head towards Fermain Bay. You will pass the first of many ‘Pepper Pots’, loopholed towers which are dotted around the island to defend the coastline. The clifftop walking is spectacular on the south coast of Guernsey. Please be aware that this day is tough clifftop walking and although the mileage is low the tough terrain can slow you down.
Brightly coloured flowers cling to the cliff face and colonies of seabirds can be seen sheltering on the craggy outcrops. You will pass the bay of Moulin Huet which was painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1883.
Saints Bay Hotel is uniquely situated on the south coast cliffs at Icart Point, an un-spoilt headland on the most southerly tip of Guernsey.

Clifftop walking and stunning coastal views remain a feature of today's walk. The views inland are also pretty with patchwork farmland and glimpses of the spire on Torteval Church. The Pleinmont peninsula on the southwest point of Guernsey is dramatic with many lookouts and fortifications. Over 150 species of bird have been recorded here making it one of the best places for bird watching on the island.
As you travel around the southwest corner of the island the rugged cliffs give way to wide expanses of sand. Standing on the beach looking out to sea gives you a real sense of how vast the ocean is with nothing between you and North America. This is the perfect opportunity to take off your socks and boots and have a paddle or watch the surfers out to sea.
A visit to Lihou Island, the most westerly point of the Channel Islands is a must. Only accessible at low tide it used to be inhabited by an order of Benedictine monks and is now home to an abundance of bird and marine life.

Today's walking starts off quite easy, from Vazon Bay along the promenade bringing you to the headland dominated by Fort Hommet, one of the many coastal forts on the island. The path then brings you to Cobo Bay with its fine sandy beach which is one of the most popular on the island. The spectacular viewpoint at Le Guet is not to be missed as you make your way along the coast. A detour to visit the gardens at Saumarez Park is a must to see their Victorian walled garden and to explore this National Trust estate.
Set within 5 acres of gardens, the hotel is located on a tranquil grassy peninsula, leading to a sandy bay in the peaceful parish of the Vale, Guernsey. Accommodation at the Peninsula Hotel Guernsey consists of 99 en-suite bedrooms all equipped with satellite television, hair dryer, direct-dial telephone and tea and coffee making facilities.
Hill Crest is a beautiful 200-year-old cottage with lovely views of the island, looking out over the sea towards the French coast and also over to St. Peter Port. It takes just five minutes to walk to the seashore. Your host, Sue, tries to advise her guests on the best restaurants and beaches (depending on wind direction etc.) and she can also point you towards some of the island treasures that only the locals know about.
The north of the island is punctuated by small rocky inlets where you see brightly coloured boats of lobster fishermen bobbing in the sea as they land their daily catch. The churches of Vale and St Sampson have a long and varied past and are well worth exploring. The coast path then brings you back around to the start of the walk in St Peter Port.

The Guernsey Coastal Path is an easy and accessible walk. That said there will be a number of ascents and descents. It helps to have done some multi day walking before and regular cardio vascular exercise prior to your holiday will increase your fitness levels and therefore your enjoyment of the walk.
We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as this route is very popular. Given its easy accessibility from the UK and the sunny climate, the trail can get busy - especially in the summer months. To ensure you have quality accommodation, on or near to the trail its best to book as soon as you know your available dates.
You will need good walking shoes/boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc.
This walking holiday can be enjoyed from March to October. Summer can be hot on the Channel Islands and very busy especially over the school holidays. We would advise walking in the spring to see the wild flowers that border the fields you walk through.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets.
You can use public transport or local taxis to continue to your next overnight stop. In some cases the baggage transfer service that takes your bags on to your next accommodation may be able to assist. Our office can assist with helpful advice should you need to arrange transport for yourself or anyone in your party.
