Saint Helier to L'Etacq

St Ouen's Bay, Jersey

Sightseeing - Easy

A scenic ride taking in a few climbs, nothing too steep and all relatively short. You start on the seafront in St Helier, and then head west following the coast to St Aubin. The cycle path is where the old railway would have run from Gorey to Corbiere. After St Aubin you climb and go to Noirmont Point. Jersey was occupied by Nazi Germany in World War 2 and you will see the defences the Germans built as part of the Atlantic Wall. Next is Corbiere lighthouse, the first to be built in the British Isles out of concrete. Ride on along the flat 5 Mile road (it is not actually 5 miles long) and see the defence towers built in the 18th century. Finish at L’Etacq looking out over St Ouen’s Bay.
