WALKS

Sark is a gift for anyone who likes walking. Not merely because of its famous absence of cars, but because the island is blessed with an abundance of rugged coastline and beautiful landscape that’s tailor-made for exploring by foot.

​

You can either choose merely to wander aimlessly during your visit, chancing upon whatever visual treasures you encounter, or you can take one of the many established walking routes that have existed for more than a century.

​

If exploring some of Sark’s beautiful walks appeals, then purchasing a copy of the island's definitive guide is highly recommended. Costing around £5, La Trobe Guide was penned over a century ago by two young brothers, and remains the essential companion for visitors eager to scratch the surface of what Sark has to offer.

​

As an example of just one of the many beautiful walking destinations on the island, the Adonis Pool is a very beautiful rock pool located off the southwest corner of ‘Little Sark’. While getting to it is a more challenging than your average stroll to the corner shop, its stunning setting is more than worth the effort.

​
