Walks

The Trust has acquired parcels of land across the Island by way of gift, bequest and when funds allow, by purchase. These include areas of coastline as well as pockets of countryside. These retreats are unobstructed havens for contemplation in areas of outstanding natural beauty.
Many National Trust places are Geocaching sites. Please log in to your Geocaching account and search NTGuernsey.
