[introduction] =>
[description] => These walks explore the rugged scenic north coast of Jersey, starting with a journey to the inland village of St John’s. Both routes begin on minor lanes, but then take us along superb stretches of the Coast Path and passing the Devil’s Hole, a major geological landmark.

[title] => St John’s to Greve de Lecq via Bonne Nuit and the Coast Path
[content] => Distance: 9 miles (14.5km)
Ascent: 850 feet (260m)
In summary: Starting in St John’s, our route heads east along green lanes before descending through La Vallette (Jersey National Park) with fantastic views down to Bonne Nuit Bay, with its sheltered harbour. We then turn west and follow the Coast Path, also including the new coastal footpath, and on to Sorel Point. As with around Fremont Head and on to Sorel Point for some splendid views. As with the Option 1 walk, we continue to Devil’s Hole and on over a number of rocky headlands to reach the La Greve de Lecq with a chance for a dip before our transport returns us to the hotel.
Highlight: Striking clifftop views on the most dramatic part of the island.

[title] => St John’s to La Greve de Lecq via the Coast Path
[content] => Distance: 7.1 miles (11.5km)
Ascent: 670 feet (205m)
In summary: Starting with a brief visit to the 13th century St John’s Church, we take a short diversion to the village graveyard to see the ornate tomb of the holiday camp entrepreneur, Billy Butlin who lived in the parish. Retracing our steps, we then head north along a quiet country lane to reach the coast at St John's Millennium Cross. From there, we follow the new coastal footpath to Sorel Point to admire the view. Continuing west along the undulating coast path, we reach our next landmark – Devil’s Hole – a yawning chasm in the cliff. From here, our path takes us over a number of rocky headlands to reach the charming beach resort of La Greve de Lecq, with time for a swim or paddle before returning to our hotel.
Highlight: Peer into Devil’s Hole, a collapsed cave where the sea has formed a blowhole.
