Publisher's Synopsis
The go-to Guernsey travel guide for the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Guernsey 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.

- 16 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
