Greve De Lecq to Devils Hole Walk

This 4.7km walk along Jersey's rugged north coast begins at the golden sands of Grève de Lecq and offers a mix of historic military sites, lush inland lanes, and dramatic cliffside views. 
Starting from the bay, you head east and climb the path up Le Chemin du Câtel, where you can explore the Câtel Fort, an 18th-century guardhouse built to defend against French invasion.
The route then leads you away from the immediate coastline to bypass the Crabbé rifle range, transitioning onto quiet country lanes.... This inland detour brings you to the La Mare Wine Estate, where you can wander through the vineyards or stop at the visitor centre to sample local wines, ciders, and the famous Jersey Black Butter.
From the estate, a short stroll leads back toward the coast to reach your destination at Devil's Hole, a spectacular natural crater eroded into the cliffs over millennia. On your way, you will pass the impressive sea stack of Ile Agois, which is separated from the mainland by a narrow gorge and still contains the remains of prehistoric huts.
Once at Devil's Hole, a winding path leads down to a safe viewing platform where you can watch the Atlantic waves crash through a tunnel into the 200-foot deep cave. After completing the walk, you can enjoy a well-earned rest at the Priory Inn, located just a short distance from the crater's entrance.
You can continue your walking on the longer Greve De Lecq Circular Walk.
