Cross the main road with care into La Rue de Grouville, passing Home Farm (1748) and a granite cottage from 1689. Fork right along La Rue du Moulin de Bas, passing the grassy retaining wall of Queen's Valley Reservoir (1991). There is an attractive walk around the reservoir, accessed from the next turning to the left.
Turn next right beyond Lower Mill and Les Pres Manor, down the hill through Grouville Marsh, a nature reserve and haven for migrant birds. The island has over 120 species of resident or migrant birds.
Cross the main road by the cemetery - notice the magnificent yew trees, reputed to keep away bad spirits - and fork right at the 1893 milestone.
On the left opposite the primary school is The Grouville Tavern, and the Pembroke Hotel a short distance further on. The walker is spoilt for choice for rest and refreshment!
Walk now across the golf course to the sea. This is common land, but the Greens are sacrosanct! Turn right along the promenade, or along the beach if the tide permits to the first slipway (Le Hurel). The slipways or 'Charrieres' are still used today to bring seaweed (vraic) from the beach for use as fertiliser on the potato fields.
Depending on the tide, walk along the beach or the road back to the Seymour Inn, passing a number of 18th century coastal towers (properly called Conway towers after the Governor of the time), several now part of private houses.
