Protecting and preserving Jersey’s Woodland
Step into this magnificent wooded wonderland, with a tranquil stream running through the middle of the meadows, woodland paths for you to explore, and perfect opportunities for a picnic.
Hamptonne Woods is a place of true relaxation, where you can escape from busy town life and grab a few hours indulging in the serene beauty of the area.
Le Don Sinkins – Waterworks Valley
Purchased from Jersey Water in memory of the late Richard Sinkins by his wife Gladys and daughter Veronica Simmons, Le Don Sinkins is a 35 vergée area of wet meadows and wooded côtils extending from Mont Gavey northwards to the silt trap at the foot of Mont Suzanne.
The site, acquired in 2011 during the Trust’s 75th anniversary, helped to further consolidate and safeguard the Trust’s holdings in Waterworks Valley, including Hamptonne Country Life Museum, with its beautiful surrounding wet meadows and woodlands.
Help us protect Jersey’s natural beauty for generations
Since 2011 the Trust has constructed half a kilometre of additional footpath through the woods. Predominantly following an old mill leat, the path compliments the Millennium Footpath on the opposite side of the valley and offers a return loop for the less intrepid hiker.
Remnants of WW2 German ammunition caches and shelters can still be seen along the path where they once hid their contents from Allied aerial reconnaissance.
Parking
There is a small car park at the southern end of the footpath through Hamptonne Woods. Alternatively, visitors can park in the Hamptonne Country Life Museum car park and walk to the footpath.
Facilities and Access
Disabled access is limited in the wood.
There are toilets and refreshments in the nearby Hamptonne Country Life Museum. The entrance charge is waived for National Trust for Jersey members, and reduced by 20% for members of overseas National Trust organisations.
