Jersey boasts a tranquil network of nearly 50 miles of 'green' lanes designed to give precedence to pedestrians and cyclists. Whether you have a freewheeling attitude or prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground you'll soon discover a leisurely pace of life amongst the natural beauty that bursts from every corner of our beautiful island.
As you amble along scenic country lanes that wend their way across the parishes through lush wildflower meadows and patchwork fields you will discover a colourful tapestry of Jersey through the ages. See it rise in the shape of a vast burial mound dating back to 3,800 BC dominating La Hougue Bie; one of Europe's finest pre-historic monuments or follow it into the depths of the Jersey War Tunnels, an evocative testament to the occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II.
Jersey will unravel at your every turn, past wisteria-clad cottages and traditional granite farmhouses bathed in late summer light. Follow the path of the sun from east to west on Cycle Route 3 to discover the rural essence of Jersey. Stop at Hamptonne Country Life Museum, a faithfully restored farm, to witness history alive before your very eyes. Meet characters from the past, see how they lived, and watch cider making performed the traditional way.
