Walking in Jersey, Guernsey and Sark

Overview

Walking in this archipelago is simply good for the soul.

You will discover a landscape full of gentle surprises, shifting in a kaleidoscope of colour. Breathe the fresh salty air as you walk in the dramatic beauty of Jersey’s coast. Meander in Guernsey along rugged cliff paths carpeted with gorse and wildflowers as the tide laps against the sweeping shoreline below.

Sark offers a truly unique holiday experience for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. Being a car-free Island you will only meet walkers, cyclist or horses and carriages on the Island.

Wander through wooded valleys and country lanes to birdsong, or gently amble along the marina to enjoy local food and drink at a seaside pub nestled in a French-style fishing village. As the sinking sun lights up the evening sky, paddle your tired feet in clear local waters when the day is done.

Explore these unique islands in a large splash of green and blue and get ready to be amazed!

United Kingdom

Travellers from the US, Canada, and the EU normally do not need a visa to enter the United Kingdom, but do need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (or ETA), which you can apply for at www.gov.uk/eta/apply.

Please note, visa requirements often change and it is your responsibility to obtain any required visas for this trip. Therefore, we recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through.

Some local governments provide guidance on what visas their citizens need. To help, we’ve gathered a selection of useful links below.

Don’t miss out on experiencing locally produced food, like oysters, lobster, Jersey Royals and the famous dairy products to get a real taste of the Channel Islands. Discover award-winning restaurants and cafes serving up food grown locally at island farms alongside fresh seafood caught the same day.

The weather is relatively mild – you can expect the weather forecast in the Channel Islands to be similar to the south coast of Britain but often slightly warmer and sunnier. The hottest days are normally found in July and August, with plenty of long sunny days with maximum temperatures often in the high 20s.
