We saw the Devil's hole and dismissed going at first, but after a short trip on the bus we arrived at a pub where the bus drops you off (Priory Inn) and had a drink. We had an easy walk down but recommend good walking shoes or trainers depending on weather (not in flip flops as we saw others attempting!) 10 mins down to the viewing platform spent a while taking in the views then walked back in about 10-15 mins. buses every hour so we had another drink and finished it just as the bus arrived!
You could stay a couple of hours if you have a good Lunch there or walk on to the Vineyard too. There is a Children's indoor play area if you have kids.

A nice walk from the local pub The Priory.
10 minutes stroll and just a few steps. Approx 30 low level steps and pinned with u shaped nails to prevent slipping if wet. Interesting story which makes it worthwhile. Went in August and the tide was such that the hike remained empty but it was interesting nine the less.
Teenagers enjoyed the walk as not to far and the view of France was appreciated. The devil statue was of great interest. It definitely resembles dad not mum!

This is a very pleasant scenic spot on the rugged North coast of Jersey. Buses run out here from St Helier, dropping you off outside the Priory Inn, from which it is a short downhill walk to the viewing platform. Along the way, you'll pass the huge Devil statue stood in an algae-filled pond at the head of the trail. The path leads you to a naturally formed crater in the cliffs, believed to have been created by the collapse of a cave. Waves come crashing through the blowhole, so if you time your visit right, it can be quite a spectacle. The views across the coast and out towards the other Channel Islands are very impressive. We followed our visit up by walking along the coastal path at the head of the trail as far as Greve de Lecq, which I'd definitely recommend as a relatively easy walk with great views.

We went in the late afternoon and only saw 1 other person. Loads of parking at the Priory Inn (stay for fish and chips and a pint after). My dad is 67 and I'm 41 (although we are in great shape and very active) and we found it a nice little hike. The trail is easy to manage - but if you have mobility issues, I don't see how it would be possible. Also - the trail was dry. As other commentors have said, it would be a miserable walk after rain. So, if you're reasonably in shape or better and it's dry - highly recommend!!

Great hidden gem but is a bit of a walk on uneven ground. Information boards explain the story of the hole and although it wasn't high tide you still got waves washing in through the hole. Also great views of Sark and Gurnsey.

Tucked away from the crowds. This sudo Gaston pub is dog friendly and a nice off the beaten track for locals and visitors alike. Car park can get crowed but the No7 bus drops you off on the door step .

We visited the Devils Hole as it was the starting point for our north coast walk which ultimately took us to Rozel. It was a nice place to start as the bus dropped us off at the pub and then it’s a 10 minutes walk to Devils Hole. It’s worth a quick stop if you are in the area but I would not recommend a special visit to see it.

After a 10 minute walk down a well made path (if steep in places) the coastal view is spectacular. There is a carpark. There is a viewing platform. However it would be better to go at high tide as at low tide it is just a large hole in the ground

Nice walk down from the lovely pub where the bus drops you off. Think it was called the plough. You can see Guernsey, Sark and Alderney and I think the coast of France as well. We walked back up the path and then took the footpath to La Greve, the walk was lovely but La Greve was not the best place to end up . 2 pubs and a cafe but all in the shade so we took the next bus back .

Devil’s Hole is a short walk from the bus stop. In good weather it is an easy walk. However if it has been raining you’ll want to wear some hiking boots. The views are great and you can see the whole Bay Area on a clear day. It’s free to visit and would highly recommend.

The No7 goes from St Helier via St Mary's Village to Devils Hole. It terminates at the Priory Inn and then it's a short walk down to the viewing platform. Check the tides before you go as it is best seen at high tide when the blow hole is full of water. At low tide it's just a hole! Although it's a nice walk down any time.
