Spring Walking Festival 2026
Sunday 26 May – Thursday 7 June 2026
Join Rachel for three specially curated guided walks exploring Guernsey’s heritage, coastline and hidden stories.
5.30pm – 7.00pm
Meet: La Vallette Ladies’ Bathing Pool
Leisure, Pleasure and Pastimes
A Victorian Legacy
An easy walk from the La Vallette bathing pools to Castle Cornet, exploring the Victorian vision for leisure along the seafront.
Discover what the developers achieved, what remains, and how these influences continue to shape island life. For some, a trip down memory lane — for others, an entirely new perspective.
31 May 2026
12.30pm – 2.30pm
Meet: Lihou Headland
Lihou Island – A “Famous Five” Adventure
Mermaids frolicking, monks and nuns bathing, soldiers, sailors and airmen — and that’s before we even cross the causeway.
Explore Lihou Island’s unique geography, rich history and natural beauty, just a short walk from the mainland.
Please wear suitable footwear.
Access to Lihou Island is tidal — the causeway is only safe to cross at set times.
3 June 2026
2.00pm – 4.30pm (approx.)
Meet: L’Islet Kiosk
Balls, Bombs, Bones and Bridges
Clos du Valle at its best — ancient and modern stories, facts and legends combined in one fascinating coastal walk.
Discover why this area remains one of Guernsey’s most treasured landscapes… and perhaps enjoy a stop at the 19th along the way.
