Wanderers can enjoy exploring the Jersey National Park during May accompanied by experts who are leading 18 guided walks with diverse themes.
This year’s Walk in the Park called ‘Nature, at your own pace’ invites everyone to step outside and enjoy the natural world and engage in a variety of experiences from serene walks at dawn and dusk to more informative walks exploring Jersey’s history in detail.
There is also the opportunity for walkers, including those with hearing and/or sight impairments, to learn about photography, flora and fauna, foraging, agriculture as well as sustainability.
For those unable to join the expert-led walks, a series of audio guides are available as well as 16 self-guided routes.
Jim Hopley, MBE, the Honorary Chair of the Jersey National Park, said: ‘This year’s Walk in the Park is an invitation to deeply connect with the landscapes of the Jersey National Park. Our aim is to encourage everyone, locals and visitors of all ages and abilities, to discover its diverse beauty as well as the many features it has to offer. Partnering with a wide array of experts, we’ve crafted experiences that showcase the best of what the Park has to offer including its rich biodiversity, diverse history, and unique geology.
‘Spanning from our rugged coastline to the picturesque countryside, the Jersey National Park includes over 50 miles of paths which are a cherished privilege to explore, thanks to the co-operation of local landowners. To all our visitors, we extend a reminder to tread carefully using the marked paths, keep a respectful distance from wildlife and always follow the Jersey Countryside Code, ensuring our Park remains a beautiful environment for us all to enjoy.’
