The best Guernsey walks

There are miles of stunning walks in Guernsey, but one of the prettiest has to be a walk through Bluebell Woods in March and April. Located at the southern end of St Peter Port, within walking distance of the town centre, you will find Bluebell Woods. Aptly named, in springtime the woodland floor becomes a carpet of blue flowers beneath the budding tree canopy. A wonderful place to walk at any time of year with trails leading onto the cliff paths and wonderful views from the south-east of the island. Don’t forget your camera!

Guernsey also has some of the most breathtaking coastal walks, where guests can immerse themslves in the islands rich history and abundant wildlife.
