Walking

On arrival in Alderney, visit the Alderney Visitor Information Centre at the top of  Victoria Street. Find out what to do and what to see and pick up free advice, literature and leaflets about recommended walks and tours. 

With over 50 miles of walks and paths taking you across commons, beaches, along the cliffs and around town, the best way to discover Alderney is on foot. The south coast is mainly dramatic cliff walks, dotted with Victorian and German fortifications and the northwest coastline (towards the bird sanctuary island of Burhou) is designated a RAMSAR site.  Along the north and east coast can be found golden beaches interspersed with picturesque Victorian forts and the occasional reminder of the German occupation during WWII.

You can join one of the many interesting guided walks - ranging from town walks, history, heritage and bird watching tours to nocturnal bat walks which are organised by the Alderney Wildlife Trust in cooperation with the Alderney Society. (Dependent upon demand please call 822935 for details)
