About this route
Jersey’s railway closed in the 1930s, and its line from St Aubin to La Corbière is now one of the island’s favourite paths. The compacted gravel is kind on the legs, the trees give shade in summer, and there are no roads to cross for long stretches.
The first part climbs steadily away from St Aubin, gently enough that it feels like a false flat. The second half rolls through heathland before dropping towards Corbière and one of the best views on the island.
Coaching notes
Draft notes, awaiting review by our instructors.
- Pacing: start slower than you think. The early climb is long and steady, and you’ll get it back on the way down to Corbière.
- Tempo runs: the uninterrupted middle section suits a sustained “comfortably hard” effort.
- Kids on bikes: a great route for running while children cycle alongside.
