Cycling in Jersey
Including Jersey Green Lanes. On the map.
The vibe
Pedaling through this island landscape means tackling steep, sunken green lanes framed by high stone walls where cars have to reverse for bikes. Late spring is ideal for steady mileage when the hedgerows burst into flower and the coastal roads remain relatively clear of peak tourist traffic. You navigate entirely on your own steam, sharing the narrow tarmac mainly with morning commuters and fellow touring cyclists.

A unique network of rural roads where priority is given to cyclists, walkers, and horse riders. These lanes wind through the island's heart, connecting traditional farmsteads and scenic valleys.
Access. Accessible directly from St. Helier, the lanes are well-signposted across the entire island.
Notes. Excellent for gravel or hybrid bikes; traffic is extremely light due to strict speed regulations.
