Jersey by bicycle

We hired bicycles for the weeknd and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Cycling really is the best way to enjoy Jersey. We took the western coast on Saturday and the Eastern on Sunday, seeing just about everything.

Saturday

We cycled clockwise around the island, starting out along the 3 miles of beach of St Aubin's bay and then took the cycle path to Corbiere lighthouse.

From there we went up St Ouen's bay, had coffee half way right on the beach, before leaving the coast to see a little of the countryside.

We rejoined the coast at the top of the bay and then climbed the steep road to the high north coast.

We meandered along the north coast, stopping at the North Point Bistro for a lovely lunch outside under the pergola. After lunch we continued along the north coast until we reached Devil's Hole. We chained the bikes at The Priory Inn and walked down the steep path.









We then headed for St John's, to pick up the cycle route that goes down the middle of the island and emerges along St Aubin's Bay. We'd come a long way, so we were thankful that from St John's, it was mostly down hill to the south coast. Once there we walked/cycled 50/50 along the bay back to the apartment in the sunshine. We slept well!

Sunday

Today we went anticlockwise, taking the road from St Helier through Five Oaks and on to out first stop at La Hougue Bie Museum.

We then headed off towards St Catherine's via some lovely countryside and the top half of St Catherine's Bay. Once there we has a cup of tea and a cake at the cafe and cycled along the breakwater.

Then we headed up round the coast to Rozel Bay for lunch. This bit was hard work with the gradients so we were starving by the time we got there. We had a long lunch at the Navigator Restaurant and walked on the beach before finding the cycle path back into St Helier through some lovely countryside and hamlets.
