Two Trails to a Lighthouse (10/14/25)

Last night Bob and I had a great walkthrough and home cooked dinner with our homeowners after they picked us up at our hotel, but before that we had a lovely walk to a lighthouse on the southwest coast of Jersey.

We left the hotel via a series of steps off of their terrace and then through a small park.

From the park, we crossed the street and began walking on the impressive trail along the beach. For a good portion of this trail, there are separate bike and pedestrian lanes.

Some nice seafront housing along the trail

Ditto, plus an old tower with an antenna

The Parish Hall in St Aubin where apparently a few tours begin

Shortly after entering St Aubin, we turned inland to walk the Rail Trail which took us all the way to the lighthouse. We started our walk at 12:45 and got to the lighthouse about 2:50.

Our first glimpse of the southwest coast of the island

Corbiere Lighthouse, built in 1874
and accessible by causeway at low tide

A happy tribute to the successful rescuing
of all crew and passengers from a sinking ship

The impressive coast and equally impressive buildings

A German infantry defense structure on the right
and what we think is a hotel or inn

After walking down near the lighthouse but not crossing over to it as not low tide, we caught bus 22 back to the Cristina Hotel near the Cobiere Phare Hotel and German Naval Tower.
