Walking on Guernsey: Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm

by Paddy Dillon

This guidebook describes 25 short easy walks exploring the Channel Islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm. 20 of the walks described are on Guernsey. The routes are mostly circular, mainly on paths, tracks and quiet roads, and can easily be combined to make longer outings. Most walks are between 5 and 15km (3 and 9 miles) but the book also includes a description of the Guernsey Coastal Walk, a 63.5km (39 mile) walk around the entire coast of the island. Famed for its sunshine, its history and its wonderful coastline, Guernsey offers superb year-round walking. As well as clear route directions and mapping and practical advice on travel and accommodation, the book is crammed with fascinating information about these intriguing islands.

Helpful little book although we needed to supplement the walking information with Google maps once in a while.

A little misleading about the difficulty of these walks. The initial description of the book suggests 25 short, easy walks. this is not the case! The amount of steps involved in the coastal routes is demanding and I wouldn't say 'easy'. E.g. It mentions "several flights of steps" or "plenty" of steps. In reality some climbs involved 200 -300 steps in one block which were quite exhausting! However , the book contained lots of helpful information to be used both to plan a trip to Guernsey and during a stay.

Good guide and overview, some instructions not as clear/up to date as they could be unfortunately.
