This
is a fairly gentle walk along country lanes. Allow four hours. |

Cross
the road from the Church to La Rue du Mont Pellier. Carry on walking
until you reach the end of the meadow. Note the bank of wild strawberries
near the granite arch at Mont Pellier House.
At the bottom, turn left up La Ruelle ès Bisches, a footpath
which skirts a working farm. At the end, turn left and follow the
lane until you reach La Rue des Câtieaux on the right. Follow
this road, turning right into La Rue des Champs Rault, which meanders
gently downhill before becoming La Verte Rue.
Carry on and turn left into La Rue de Guillaumerie
(if you carry on to Victoria Village you can buy refreshments from
the village shop or pay a visit to the Orchid Foundation). Follow
the tree-lined lane until it reaches La Rue du Pont. Notice the
large silo on the dairy farm on the left hand side.
At the end of this lane turn right and walk along
the main road. Turn left down La Rue du Sacrement. Follow this lane
- which becomes La Rue des Cabarettes - then go straight along La
Rue du Carrefour. Turn right at Le Hucquet House onto La Rue de
la Mare des Reines, which finishes at the Catholic church and a
small shop. Cross the main road onto La Longue Rue.
Continue down the road and into La Rue de l'Orme.
At the end of this lane take the left hand turning - La Rue de Beuvelande.
This is another quiet Green Lane, the only minor disturbance being
the odd tractor! At the end of this sloping lane turn right down
La Rue du Bouillon (Soup Road).
Pass a pretty granite house and take a right turn
into La Rue de la Chouquetterie, walking until you reach the main
road. Cross over to the entrance to Queen's Valley Reservoir and
follow its gentle paths, leaving the reservoir walk at the gate
onto La Rue des Tours Champs. Continue to the bottom of the hill.
At the junction, turn left and walk along Le Chemin des Maltières
past La Cache des Prés. You will see Grouville Marsh and
Fort Henry in the distance, built in 1760 to protect islanders from
the French.
Further
along the road, Mont Orgueil looms into view. Carry on to Gorey
House and turn into the Jersey Pottery for a cup of tea and a slice
of cake. You will have a chance to see the local potters and artists
at work. The castle is a short distance away, as are the beach and
common.
