The Islands of Guernsey Way is a new marked coastal walking trail across the five beautiful islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and Lihou, launching in spring 2021.
The new trail provides walkers with a comprehensive five-island route for the first time with an accompanying guide, map and a dedicated, free-to-download app, which will feature an audio commentary, local information, interactive map and additional themed walking routes.
While the full coastal trail is approximately 50 miles, the route has been created to be easily split into digestible sections for walkers of all levels, or to offer shorter circular routes instead.
Further details of the new walking route will be available on visitguernsey.com
