Jersey

The cultural landscape of Jersey and its Norman style farmhouses, the narrow winding lanes and small fields, the French street names and cuisine, all reflect a fascinating and complex history that has entwined the island in the fate of two great nations - Britain and France, for over a thousand years.

Today, Jersey is a thriving island. Whilst still retaining it's unique charm, medieval buildings, leafy lanes and stunning beaches, it is also a bustling financial centre with modern, stylish architecture, clubs, restaurants, luxury hotels and a world class marina.

For those on a short break or longer holiday, Jersey is an ideal destination for countless activities. The climate is often warmer and sunnier than mainland Britain, allowing visitors the opportunity to take advantage of a myriad of outdoor activities and pursuits. Golf, walking, cycling, sailing, fishing, bird-watching and watersports. A year round programme of natural festivals, guided walks and cycle tours satisfies the most voracious of nature lovers. You can listen to the music of birdsong before breakfast in a gentle woodland stroll or explore dramatic coastal cliffs and gullies.

There are also numerous "Sites of Special Interest" in Jersey. These are areas protected under the law for their ecological, architectural or cultural value.
