This town walk takes you along the seafront and then upwards to the top of the town. The climb is relatively gentle and, without stopping en route, takes about an hour.

TOWN CHURCHA church was first recorded on this site in 1048. It is recognised by The Guinness Book of Records as `the tavern closest to a church in the British Isles' due to its close proximity to the neighbouring Albion House Tavern.

VICTORIA MARINAIn the 13th century, this was a simple timber quay but by 1750 the old harbour had been created. Old warehouses along the seafront are now shops and restaurants, retaining many original features.

THE WEIGHBRIDGE AND LIBERATION MONUMENTOn 28th June 1940, two days before the start of the German Occupation, a bombing here killed 33 people and injured 67. The Liberation Monument was erected to mark the 50th anniversary of Guernsey's Liberation. The nearby Memorial Mast flies colourful flags, including those of visiting cruise liners.

LES COTILS AND CAMBRIDGE PARKMagnificent views from Les Cotils Christian Centre. Cambridge Park houses a plaque commemorating the last duel to be fought in the Island.

THE PRIAULX LIBRARYBuilt 200 years ago, this former private residence is now the Priaulx Library and Candie Gardens.
