-
Taxi

-
Walking
It is a pleasant walk along the Coast Path, where you can turn inland at Fermain Bay, then left when you get to the main road; or the inland route walking up Hauteville Road past Victor Hugo's House and straight on. It will take around 1.5 - 2 hours. It is all uphill so not recommended for anybody but the fittest. The return is gentler and an hour by road (turn left at the gate and straight on) or via cliff path which will take 2 - 2.5 hours. Utterly lovely but again only for the unhurried and fit as it is very up and down on a good path.
