Getting Around
Take a Walk on the Wild Side... On arrival in Alderney, visit the new Alderney Visitor and Wildlife Information Centre at the top of Victoria Street. Find out what to do and what to see and pick up free advice, literature and leaflets. With over 50 miles of walks and paths taking you across commons, beaches, along the cliffs and around town, the best way to discover Alderney is on foot. You can join one of the many interesting guided walks - ranging from town walks, history, heritage and bird watching tours to nocturnal bat walks (dependant upon demand). All are organised by the Alderney Wildlife Trust, in cooperation with the Alderney Society.
