The island of Jersey

Discover the beauty and excitement that Jersey has to offer

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, a small collection of British islands located between France and the UK. It is a popular tourist destination for visitors of all ages thanks to its beautiful scenery; miles of clean and sandy beaches, rugged coastlines and green countryside. The island offers a wide range of outdoor leisure activities, from scenic coastal walks to watersports.

Jersey has a unique history dating back thousands of years. Neolithic burial sites, magnificent castles, Norman style farmhouses, Napoleonic fortresses and fortifications from the World War II occupation all characterise the landscape.

St Helier, the capital town, is full of high quality shops and restaurants, offering world-class cuisine including, of course, the superb local seafood.
