Educational signs placed across Jersey headland

Some routes have been designated as multi-user pathways

New signposts displaying information about the environment, wildlife and who can use the pathways have been placed across a headland in Jersey.

Environment Minister Steve Luce said the installations in St Ouen were intended to be educational.

He said more than 60% of people who come to Jersey use the pathways for self-guided walks and similar signs would be rolled out across the island.

"We know paths around the island are important to both islanders and visitors," he said.

Some routes have been designated as multi-user pathways - meaning pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders could share access.

Douglas John Hamilton, a horse rider and part of the Jersey Access Forum, said pedestrians and cyclists needed to be mindful of horses because they were "unpredictable animals".

He said: "It'll be really nice if we can get everyone using the pathways harmoniously together."
