At the bottom, cross the main road, La Grande Aleval,
with care and follow the sign for the footpath on the right-hand
side. Turn up the footpath and at the end of the path turn left
up Les Gelettes, which is quite steep. Where the road becomes La
Rue de la Ville au Bas, turn right down Mont du Rocher.
Near the bottom of Mont du Rocher is a track leading
to the car park of the German Underground Hospital, built during
World War Two using Russian slave labour. Coming out of the car
park, the walk continues up Les Charrières Malorey, a road
which is flanked by impressive old pine trees. Look out for the
red squirrels which inhabit the area.
Turn right into Le Chemin des Montagnes passing
steep-sloping, south-facing fields, used for growing the famous
Jersey Royal potato. At a crossroads, turn right into La Rue de
la Fontaine St Martin, in which you will find the beautiful old
National Trust for Jersey building Morel Farm, built in 1666. Look
through the arch and you will see the old marriage stone with the
initials RLG and the cobbled entrance. Outside the farm there are
some granite steps, which ladies used to climb to get into their
carriages. Continuing down the road you pass a working farm, La
Fontaine, and at the bottom of the hill you will find an abreuvoir,
where animals can be watered, and further on, the spring La Fontaine
St Martin which gives its name to the road. Turn up Le Mont l'Evesque,
passing Le Rat Cottage, which dates from the 16th Century.
At the top of Le Mont l'Evesque turn left into Le
Mont Sorsoleil and continue past the turning to Le Mont Isaac to
a crossroads. Cross over the road which is called La Rue Rouge Cul
(Red Bum Road) and proceed along La Rue des Bessières, at
the end of which you will come across St Matthew's Roman Catholic
Church. Turn left into La Rue de la Ville au Bas.
At the end of the road turn right into Le Pissot,
which leads back to the Living Legend.
