Our 2026 walking programme will be available to book in April.
This May, discover some of the best walks in Jersey through our programme of expert-guided experiences, or explore in your own time using our self-guided routes.
Each guided walk offers a different way of understanding the Jersey National Park, from living systems and changing landscapes to history, culture and lived experience.
This year’s theme, The Very Nature of this Island, invites a closer look at what sustains Jersey, defines its identity and influences its future.
Led by specialists, the walks use observation, movement and discussion to examine how natural systems function, how landscapes have developed, and how relationships with place continue to evolve.
There’s no better way to explore Jersey than on foot.
Discover some of the best walks in the Park by joining one of our expert-guided walks in May, or by exploring in your own time using one of our self-guided routes.
There’s no better way to explore Jersey than on foot. With more than 50 miles of paths weaving through over 30 miles of coastline, the Park offers countless ways to slow down, get outside, and experience the Island properly.
From wild headlands and quiet woodlands to rural lanes, wetlands and sweeping sea views, every route reveals something different. Whether you’re looking for a short stroll, a scenic viewpoint, or a path you haven’t walked before, there is always more to discover.
Each May, our annual Walk in the Park series brings people together for a programme of expert-led walks, exploring the landscapes, stories, wildlife and people that make the Park so special.
As you walk, please take care. Much of the land within the Park is privately owned or carefully managed. Stick to marked paths, follow signs, and help protect the places that make Jersey such an extraordinary place to walk.
