Enjoy a self-guided "around island" walking holiday on the 44 mile coastal footpath

Walking holiday on Guernsey in the Channel Islands This wonderful coastal path around Guernsey, the 2nd largest of the Channel Islands, can be walked over 4 days at about 11 miles per day. Explore the islands of Herm and Sark to make this holiday into 6 days of great walking.
Day 1: Arrive Weymouth or Poole
To start your Channel Islands walking holiday you make your own way to Weymouth or Poole in Dorset to get the fast catamaran ferry to St Peter Port, Guernsey. We can assist with air, coach or train transfers if required. You could use this as an opportunity to explore the Jurassic Coast, or combine this holiday with a walking holiday on the South West Coast Path. Car parking is available for the duration of your self-guided walking holiday on Guernsey.

Visit Herm on Guernsey Coastal Footpath walking holiday Day 6: Herm    4 miles
Take a day-trip from St Peter Port to the island of Herm, only half a square mile, but 4 miles of coastal footpaths. Herm is a paradise of dramatic cliffs, wild flowers, hills, valleys, golden beaches and no cars.
Day 7: Sark    15 miles
Take a day-trip from St Peter Port to the island of Sark, only 2 square miles, but 15 miles of coastal footpaths. Sark is entirely cliff-bound, and even the main harbours are at the foot of the cliff and access from them to the village is through tunnels and up a steep track. Little Sark is linked with the rest of the island by the knife-edge pass of Le Coupée.
