Autumn in Guernsey provides the perfect backdrop for a walking retreat. With the deep red of its falling leaves and bronzed late light, is there a better time to go rambling? Here we take a look at The Islands of Guernsey Autumn Walking Festival 2022.
About the event
Taking place from 17 September to 2 October, the Autumn Walking Festival will offer visitors a choice of more than 40 morning, afternoon, and evening guided walks to explore the stunning islands of Guernsey, Herm and Sark. Walkers can also learn from local experts about the islands’ history and attractions. Organised by the Bailiwick of Guernsey Guild of Accredited Guides, the walks range from rambles through the island’s interior scenic landscape to exploring the rugged coastal paths.
The walks vary in difficulty and length (ranging from one to five hours including an all-day Sark option) and are suitable for all ages and abilities. There’s also a short coastal walk, a challenging cliff top ramble or tours of the ancient town of St Peter Port. Walks begin at £10 per person but children under 16 may be able to go free in some cases.
