This walk has steep inclines, lots of steps, both up and down and takes around an hour.

TOWN CHURCHAt the entrance of the Town Church is a memorial plaque to Sir Isaac Brock. Also, one of the five ‘Barrieres De La Ville’, is to be found outside the church. These are stones which mark out the old medieval town.

ARCADE STEPS, CLIFTON & THE OLD QUARTERThe Commercial Arcade was built in the early 19th century and originally supposed to be enclosed in glass, but work was never completed. The Arcade steps lead up to Clifton and illustrate how the arcade was carved out of a hill. The Old Quarter is lined with antique shops where Victor Hugo loved to browse.

TOWER HILLHalf way up is a plaque dedicated to three women who lost their lives after being accused of heresy. In an 80-year period, 44 people were burnt at the stake and 35 banished from the Island.

HAUTEVILLEHome to Hauteville House, where Victor Hugo spent most of his 15 years in exile. The house is now open to the public and offers a fascinating insight into his life in Guernsey.

MIGNOT PLATEAU AND THE VICTORIAN SHOPA fort was originally built on this site on the orders of King Edward III in 1352. The plateau offers spectacular views over the town and neighbouring Islands. Leading back down, is the Victorian Shop and Parlour, an 18th century house restored by The National Trust of Guernsey.

MARKET SQUARE Market Square was built in the 1770s in the then rectory gardens of the Town Church. In 1818, the French Halles and surrounding area was expanded to what you see today.

ALBERT STATUE AND PIERThe bronze statue of Prince Albert, and nearby Pier, were both built to commemorate the visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to Guernsey in 1846.

THE MODEL YACHT POND AND CASTLE CORNETThe Model Yacht Pond was opened in 1887 for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. During the First World War, it was used as a French seaplane base. The castle was originally built in the mid-13th century, on an islet, but is now joined to St Peter Port. Enter via a tunnel to explore the five museums and four historic gardens based on 17th and 19th century designs. Please note: visitors will need a ticket to enter Castle Cornet.
