DAY 2
Heading West
After breakfast we take our bus to St Brelade’s Bay where we will enjoy one of the islands most picturesque cliff path walks, from the magical St Brelade’s Bay, through the charming 11th Century Church of St Brelade, taking a moment to enjoy a view of the historic Fisherman’s Chapel. The cliff path itself winds its way past Beauport Bay to Corbiere, taking in the former La Rosière quarry, and ending at the most southerly lighthouse in the British Isles taking in the views. Here we will have lunch at the Corbière Phare restaurant (at own cost). After lunch we take our bus to l’Etacq, St Ouen’s Bay to explore the North West Corner of the Island.
Our route takes a picturesque cliff path from l’Etacq to Grosnez, enjoying stunning views of the historical sites along the way including Le Pinacle.
This is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the Channel Islands taking its name from a massive granite stack which rises out of the sea. Along the way we will find out the mysteries of Grosnez Castle, and the German Naval MP3 towers.
Time permitting, we will continue along to Plemont Bay, one of Jersey’s most popular and stunning beaches. Plemont has a wide expanse of sand that disappears with every high tide. Tide permitting you may be able to explore rock pools and hidden caves, a favourite with visitors from the Victorians to present day.

DAY 3
Heading East
For today’s walk our bus will transfer us to the St Catherine’s Woods. We take a gentle stroll from these picturesque woods to St Catherine’s breakwater. Along the way we will uncover the history surrounding the construction of the breakwater, which became known as The Harbour that Failed. We then continue and walk to the end of the breakwater, and weather permitting, enjoy sweeping views of the charming offshore reef (the Ecrehous) and watch for passing dolphins. A great spot for well-earned refreshments. From St Catherine we follow the coastal footpaths admiring the sweeping views and dramatic coastline.
We will pause briefly at Archirodel to hear the history of the Jersey Round Tower fortification and see the remains of the southerly arm of the Harbour that Failed.
From Archirondel, we take the lanes up to visit La Pouquelaye de Faldouet, a mysterious 4000 year old Neolithic passage grave, before strolling through sleepy green lanes, down to Gorey Village where we have time to enjoy a light lunch (at own cost) in one of the many harbour-front restaurants, sheltering in the shadow of the 13th Century Castle.
After lunch we can enjoy a guided tour of the remarkable 800 year old Gorey Castle, known by the French as Mont Orgueil. Discover the stunning views from the highest battlements, and uncover the many hidden passageways and secret rooms of the castle and its wards. An enchanting experience. After a well-earned refreshment, we finish the afternoon with a delightful walk along the promenade and beach from Gorey Harbour to the Royal Jersey Golf Club enjoying the sights of the Royal Bay of Grouville, home to Jersey’s famous Oysters. From here we transfer back to our hotel
