There are many lovely walks to enjoy inland, as well as on the coast, but if you feel lazy you may prefer to take an island coach tour or an evening drive.

The regular bus services cover the whole island and you will find the comprehensive pocket timetable extremely useful. They are available from the Picquet House by the town church in St Peter Port, at most shops around the island and at the bus terminus etc. Perry's Guide Map, sold in paperback, are the keys to all the island's places of interest and its sometimes baffling maze of unmarked lanes.

You may hear people talking about the Water Lanes. They are a feature of scenery that belongs to Guernsey alone and are picturesque, shady lanes that follow a stream leading down to a bay. The best-known Water Lanes are those at Moulin Huet and Petit Bôt. Guernsey' fields and are remnants of the network of lanes that islanders formerly used to journey from parish to parish. Many of these lanes disappeared during the Occupation when the Germans surfaced them over.

The cliffs of Guernsey: Visitors, who return to Guernsey year in, year out, often have their favourite section of cliff paths. Many would agree that the southern strip is the loveliest of all. Lofty, majestic cliffs, steep wooded valleys, running right down to the sea, shady, leafy lanes - they are all to be found in this small area. The sea views from the south are particularly splendid because the land rises steeply from the foreshore to heights of over 300 feet.

The motorist has a choice of several good roads that will take him out of town to these uplands, but if you want to walk you can follow the cliff paths from the bathing pools at La Vallette and enjoy.

Guernsey's most spectacular natural attraction is probably the unspoiled cliff paths that run from Havelet Bay all the way to Pleinmont. Thousands of visitors and Guernsey people too, can enjoy a pleasure that is hard to rival anywhere in the British Isles. Walking for miles by the sea, undisturbed by traffic, with unfolding views before them of magnificent coastal scenery.

Since 1927 the policy of the Guernsey authorities has been to preserve these beautiful stretches of open country and nowadays no houses or hotels are allowed to be built along the cliffs.

St Saviours Reservoir: The walk starts at the car park off the Rue des Choffins at the northeastern end of the reservoir and the walk will take between an hour and 90 minutes, covering a distance of about two and a half miles. Part of the walk will take you close to the water at Moulin du Beauvallet, where the old village mill used to be. Take a path which runs off to the right and you will be on an old 'funeral way' along which pall bearers used to carry coffins, but was also used by villagers as their route to church.
