Book description
This walking guide to the islands of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm
in the Channel Islands, describes 24 walks, parts of many of which can
be combined to make up the Guernsey Coastal Walk. Famous for sunshine,
history and a wonderful coastline, Guernsey is an intriguing destination
for travellers. Outwardly British but with French overtones, the island
has a long tourist season and is often busy with visitors. The walks in
this guide use good paths and tracks as well as quiet country roads.
Occasionally, more rugged paths are used to explore the excellent cliff
coastline. Guernsey has plenty of interesting historical sites and
attractions to visit including castles, churches and museums. With its
companion guide, 'Walking on Jersey' published at the same time, this is
the first guide to cover the new Channel Islands Way. Paddy Dillon is
a prolific walker and guide book writer who has over 40 books to his
name. He has walked extensively around all the Channel Islands,
delighting in hopping from island to island. By walking the coastlines
several times, as well as walking deep inland, he has developed a great
knowledge of all the islands have to offer.
