This itinerary has been developed by a local cycle guide to direct visitors slightly off the 96 mile waymarked
cycle network to discover even more of our beautiful coast and countryside and in particular this specific part of Jersey - just follow the directions.
Start: Begin this route at the Recreation Grounds in St Clement (see Cycle Network Map for routes out of town with directions from Liberation Square). Take the ‘green lane’ running alongside the public tennis courts and golf course and then first left after the rear entrance to Samares Manor.
At the next junction, take the steep climb up to the right, leaving the house called Grasmere to your left. Half-way up the hill, there is a crossroads; turn right here, and at the T-junction, turn left. This brings you to La Croix de Ia Bataille. There is a triangular green and a well here.
Turn right (not onto the main road) and immediately right again, passing Grouville Mill on your left. Halfway down the hill is a fork in the road; take the left fork, Rue Crèvecour, and cross the main road at the bottom of the hill into Rue des Nouettes (take care at this junction).
At the next main road, turn right into Rue de Ia Lourderie. At the main road, turn left. Notice the 18th century Jersey Round Tower on the right, just before La Rocque Harbour.
Turn inland now in the direction of Grouville Church, along the B37 past the Chapel of St Peter La Rocquc and follow the main road to the next major junction. The soil in this
area is ideal for growing delicious outdoor tomatoes. Turn right in the direction of Gorey (A5). Turn almost immediately left at Fauvic House, past Le Marais de Ia Cocque pumps and lavoir on the right, and the walled garden of Le Parcq Farm on your left.
Fork right after the farm, and turn right just past the house on the right called La Prévalaie. This leads to Grouville School, where you turn left.
Cross the main road by the cemetery. This lane takes the cyclist through Grouville Marsh, a nature reserve especially attractive to migrant birds during the winter months. At the T-junction by Les Près Manor, turn right. The next turning on the right (opposite Gorey House) leads to the Jersey Pottery.

Cycle Route - East About2 E
From Gorey House continue to the T-junction; in the Spring the sloping fields or ‘côtils’ are used to grow Jersey Royal potatoes. Turn left up the hill. It is steep, but the views are superb. At the top of the hill, follow the lane to the main road, then turn right. After a short distance, turn right at the T-junction a short detour to the left will bring you to Ransoms Garden Centre - then first left, to the Dolmen and Anne Port. Notice the wonderful road name! The former garrison on the right is Le Haut de la Garenne, location of the studios for the ‘Bergerac’ series.
Follow signs to the Dolmen, which is well worth a visit. Turn right down the steep hill to Anne Port, passing the Anne Port Bay Hotel on your right. At the bottom of the hill is Geoffrey’s Leap (Le Saut Geffroy), a place of execution in former times. Turn north along the coast road, passing Les Arches Hotel on the left and the Archirondel Café on the right.
Look carefully for the next ‘green lane’ off to the left, Rote des Viviers (becomes Rue du Champs du Rey), second left after Archirondel Cafè. There are lovely views from this lane across St. Catherine’s Bay.
At the main road turn left, then immediately right into Rue des Charrières, quite a steep hill. At the very top of the hill turn right, drop down into the valley and tip to the main road. Turn left.
St Martin’s Church is on the right and the Royal Hotel on the left. At the Royal Hotel, cross the main road into Rue de Payn, then left into La Longue Rue and across the main road in the direction of St. Catherine’s (B62). Turn right opposite Les Petits Champs (do not go down the hill!). Follow this lane to the junction with the main road and cross straight over into the Rue des Alleurs. At the road-sign ‘Rue de Ministre’, fork right, then first left half-way down the hill into Rue de Ia Chouquerterie.
Turn right at the bottom of the hill at Les Vaux Farm. The lane becomes Rue St Julien, then Rue de Ia Bachauderie. Look out for the peacocks!
Turn sharp left just after the small group of cottages, past the granite Champs Colin Guest House, and right at the main road to La Hougue Bie. A visit to this remarkable place is a must.
Leaving La Houge Bie, turn left out of the entrance and bear left into Rue des Pigneaux. Turn left at the T-juncrion into Rue de Ia Coinmune, cross the main road into Rue de Ia Parade and first right into Rue du Paradis. Fork right half-way down this narrow lane, and turn left at the T-juncrion. Cycle down the hill as far as the first crossroads. Turn right into Rue de Ia Rerraire, then left into La Fréminerie, the first turning on the left. At the bottom of the hill turn right into Rue St Thomas.
At the Longueville Manor Hotel, take care crossing the main road into Rue des Près. This brings you back to the Recreation Grounds. If you continue to the traffic lights and turn left, the entrance to Samarès Manor is on your left, where you can enjoy a delicious cream tea (there is an entrance fee).
