This guide has been thoroughly revised by a local Guernsey resident - who is a walking tour leader and author - to include the new Millenium Walk and new bus services. It includes many short walks and picnic suggestions, ideal for hot summer days and for those with young children.

Jersey has a coastline with its share of steep paths and endless steps. Away from the coast, however, there is slightly more variety in the landscape, and walking is relaxed and easy, mainly along quiet lanes and country paths. Geoff Daniel has the happy knack of finding sights and places to stir the imagination from the Pinnacle (one-time scene of pagan rituals) to the eerie towering concrete relics of the island's occupation by Germany during World War II. Whether you're a first-time or a regular visitor, you'll enjoy exploring places you might never come across without the aid of this guide. Walk here in April or May if you can, to catch the spring flowers. Otherwise, good walking may be enjoyed through to the end of October, and even in winter the climate is usually milder than on the mainland. Many keen walkers prefer to walk out of season they take a chance with the possibility of rain and blustery breezes to enjoy the freedom of walking away from the crowds. 2 car tours, 22 long and short walks, 14 picnic suggestions 1:25,000 O.S. walking maps plus plan of St Helier and fold-out touring map
