Geowalk: Rainbow Rocks of Faldouet
JAAC (Jersey Accommodation & Activity Centre) Rue de la Pouclée et des Quatre Chemins JE3 6DU Faldouët
Details
Rainbow Rocks of Faldouet
Explore a magical landscape where Jersey's geological map becomes a rainbow of colour and the human landscape is a glorious reminder of our proximity to the French mainland.
Join Geopark Guide Jean Treleven to explore the beauty of Anneport’s explosive volcanic rocks including Jersey’s answer to the Giant’s Causeway. See the towers built to defend the Island against a French enemy and the sites that provided a refuge for French exiles during the turbulent period of their Revolution and Napoleonic wars. Learn about the Neanderthal people who hunted in an ice age landscape ‘behind Gorey castle’ and the Neolithic farmers who built
La Pouquelaye de Faldouet
and lived in a landscape that included much of the Royal Bay of Grouville.
This geowalk starts outside the Jersey Accommodation and Activity Centre, Rue de la Pouclee et des Quatres Chemins.
