For an easy summer getaway or an idyllic seaside retreat not too far from home travellers should grab a flight to Jersey.

With history, culture and natural spectacles aplenty, the largest of the Channel Islands has a whole programme of nature walks and historical tours throughout the month of August to keep visitors to Jersey well-occupied.

Travellers looking to escape the fast-pace of day-to-day life can join any number of walks around Jersey's coastal regions, towns and picturesque gardens with organised tours taking place daily all summer.

Visitors of all ages and interests could find some form of escape in an trip around the Napoleonic fortress in St Helier or the impressive medieval Mont Orgueil Castle, or even a ghost walk after dark exploring some unexplained mysteries.

With intriguing titles such as Cod, Smugglers and Privateers, Rozel Royal Ramble, Cows, Cockles and Cabbages, and Murder, Muck and Mayhem, the walks depart at various times throughout the day each week.
