Pedal-powered sightseeing

Jersey is a great place to get out on a bike.

Cycling is the perfect way to enjoy the best of Jersey’s countryside, especially at this time of year. 48 miles of daffodil-lined Green Lanes trail past lush green fields where the famous Jersey Cows graze with their calves and trees are bursting into life after the winter forming green leafy tunnels to cruise through.

There are a number of signposted cycle routes of varying lengths and difficulty that crisscross the island. The number 3 trail is a 14.5 mile (23k) route along the length of the island which passes through a few different country parishes. For a shorter route, follow the signposts for the number 4 route, a 5 mile (8km) trail that heads right into the centre of the island and the rural parish of St. John, passing Tesson Mill, The War Tunnels and National Trust property Morel Farm.

This time of year is excellent for foodies who can make the most of the road-side honesty boxes dotted all over the island. They offer the very best of local fresh spring produce and hand made treats. Make sure you look out for freshly dug Jersey Royal potatoes. Or pick a route that culminates at one of Jersey’s traditional country pubs and let someone else do the cooking, not forgetting to enjoy a creamy Jersey ice cream along the way!

Travelling to Jersey with the family for the Easter holidays? Jersey Bike Hire has various children’s bikes and helmets available, as well as trailers and tag along bikes. For any slightly wobbly budding cyclists, there are a number of safe cycle routes that are separate from the vehicle traffic. These include the leafy railway walk out to Corbiere lighthouse and the St. Aubin’s promenade, which conveniently passes Coronation Park where there are two children’s playgrounds and a splash park play area. Both these routes are easily accessed from our depot in St. Aubin.

I love exploring the new St. Peter’s Valley Route at the moment. Its track is set back under the trees and winds its way through the valley. It makes a nice change when cycling from town to be able to head inland but still be mostly away from the traffic. The kids love seeing the Manx Loaghtan sheep
