Guernsey Sunflower Walking Guide

The go-to Guernsey travel guide for the best walks and car tours. 

Strap on your boots and discover Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm on foot with the Sunflower Guernsey travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. 

The Sunflower Guernsey guide is indispensable for hiking in Guernsey or seeing Guernsey by car. An ideal introduction for the first-time visitor, this book also provides new ideas for those who come year after year. Apart from marvellous coastal scenery that’s been compared to that of Cornwall and Brittany, there is much to explore of the island’s past.

For example, you could follow some of Guernsey’s ‘green lanes’ and ‘water lanes’ – centuries-old paths once used by pack-horses and donkeys, or follow a route that takes in the relics of prehistoric burial grounds as well as remnants of the German Occupation during World War II.

Guernsey cliff walks, with steep climbs and lots of steps, are quite challenging, but elsewhere walking in Guernsey is very easy – the terrain is almost flat and ideal for the casual stroller.

Whether you’re a first-timer seeing Guernsey by car or a regular visitor, you’ll enjoy exploring places you might never see without this guide.

Inside the Sunflower Guernsey guide book you’ll find:

30 long and short walks for all ages and abilities – each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk
Topographical walking maps – give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain
Free downloadable gps tracks – for the techies
Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists 
1 car tour and fold-out touring map – for easy reference on your tour 
Strolls to idyllic picnic spots – enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way

Whether you tour the islands by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around. 

Author Biography

Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our ‘little blue books’ to follow the trails – and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands – from the Azores to Zakynthos – but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our ‘Walk & Eat’ series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
