Eine der anspruchsvolleren Etappen des Jersey Tidal Trail ist die vierte, die Euch an die wilde Nordküste der Insel bringt. Vom Grosnez Castle folgt Ihr den Klippenpfaden vorbei an der atemberaubenden Plémont Bay und durch den Wald bis nach Greve de Lecq. Weiter geht es zum Devil’s Hole, einem dramatischen Küstenkrater, bevor Ihr am Sorel Point mit Panoramablick auf Sark, Guernsey und Frankreich am Tagesziel ankommt.

Es gibt keine direkte Busverbindung von Sorel Point zurück nach St. Helier. Gehen Sie stattdessen über die La Route du Nord (ca. 30 Minuten) zur St. John’s Church. Von hier können Sie Bus Nr. 7 zurück in die Stadt nehmen.
Schwierigkeit: Anspruchsvoll
Dauer: ca. 3,5 Stunden
Distanz: 12,2KM

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Wunder links und rechts
Die Nordküste von Jersey ist gespickt mit atemberaubenden Buchten und markanten Aussichtspunkten – von Kratern bis hin zu versteckten Höhlen. Wenn Sie Ihren Blick über die Küste schweifen lassen, sollten Sie die Silhouetten der anderen Kanalinseln am Horizont erkennen können.
Grosnez Castle
Grosnez Castle is a ruined 14th-century castle in St. Ouen, situated in Grosnez in the north west corner of the island. Philippe de Carteret held it against the French when they took half of Jersey between 1461 and 1467, but it has been a ruin since the mid 16th century.

These sculptures were put on display to mark the 'Arrival of the Puffins', which highlights the plight of these wonderful birds and Jersey's key role in protecting the Puffins and other seabirds.

Strongpoint Grève de Lecq
Grève de Lecq Bay was a German strongpoint during the Occupation. The German Forces deployed a lot of armaments and bunkers in the area. In the middle of the bay a Jersey Round Tower dominates the view, this Napoleonic era tower was also modified by the Germans to include a secure bunker at the base, and a roof-mounted machine gun.
Sorel Point
Situated next to a working quarry, this headland has a complex multistage history of moving magma. Beyond the lighthouse built in 1938, the headland stretches out into the sea in a spine of different coloured rocks.
Grève de Lecq Beach
This sheltered north facing beach is fringed with wooded slopes and leafy country pubs. A firm favourite with families, with rocks to climb, pools to search for critters in, a sea that’s never too far out even at a low tide and lifeguards during the summer months, all make this beach a winner.
Strongpoint Plémont
Explore the newly restored headland at Plémont and discover a German Second World War Strongpoint. Strongpoint Plemont was a multi-leveled defence with stunning views of the other Channel Islands and Normandy. You will find remains of mortar, machine gun, anti-aircraft and searchlight bunkers.
