Geowalk: Jersey’s Journey from the South Pole

Explore Jersey’s past, from wild landscapes to rich culture and ancient stories, on a guided walk with an aspiring Jersey Geopark guide.

Walk through time along the stunning west corner of St Aubin’s Bay, where dramatic coastal views meet a rich natural history stretching back millions of years. This scenic shoreline, sculpted by the rhythms of tide and time, offers an opportunity to uncover the island’s ancient past while soaking up the beauty of Jersey’s ever-changing seascape.

Discover dark pebbles, pink pebbles, grey oysters, grey sand – what stories can the beach, the cliffs and walls surrounding St Aubin’s Harbour can tell the curious observer? Follow the traces of Jersey’s creation near the South Pole to its present northern latitude over more than 600 million years. How did the Ice ages form the land where mammoths and woolly rhinos roamed Jersey’s tundra? Why was St Aubin’s Harbour once the most important on the Island? Find the answers hidden in the rocks on a stroll across the beach.
