Route 4 will drop you on the Route de la Trinite (A8), from there it’s a 20-30min walk which does involve a steep hill.
Routes 3 and 13 will take you to Durrell, and from there we are a 30-40min walk on the flat.
Enjoy the beautiful countryside by taking cycle routes 3a or 7 (maps available from the Tourist Information Office). Cycle racks are provided on-site.
OTHER NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
You are very welcome to stay as long as you like with us. However, an average visit usually lasts about an hour. We are nestled in the heart of the beautiful parish of Trinity. Why not combine your visit with a nearby attraction.
A little further afield brings you to the glorious, rugged north coast with its hidden coves, or the golden sands of Royal Bay of Grouville guarded by Mont Orgueil Castle.
