A flight to Jersey takes you to the most southerly island in the British Isles, measuring just nine miles by five (14km by 8km). Surf the waves at St Ouen’s Bay or explore imposing Elizabeth Castle.
Discover Jersey’s seafaring history at the award-winning Maritime Museum and delve deeper into the island’s long-term relationship with the sea. At Jersey Zoo meet gorillas, orang-utans, gibbons and lemurs in 25 acres of beautiful parkland and water gardens.
For a quiet day out in the heart of the island stroll through Jersey’s picturesque network of Green Lanes, where cars must give way to pedestrians. For water sports you’re spoilt for choice around the island’s 45-mile coastline, or simply enjoy a picnic among the dunes at St Aubin's Bay on Jersey’s sheltered south coast.
The people of Jersey love their home-grown specialities. Try ice-cream from the Jersey Dairy, or creamy local butter on Jersey Royal potatoes. Jersey and the Channel Islands are also famous for seafood delicacies such as spider crabs, scallops and oysters. Wash them down with local wine from Jersey’s La Mare Vineyards. |
