Introduction

The largest and southernmost island of the Channel Islands, Jersey has become an incredibly popular destination for those who wish to enjoy European and French style but with the peace and relaxation of a small island. The scenery is nothing short of stunning with natural landmarks dotted far and wide across the island. The island is somewhat of a sun trap and enjoys longer and hotter days than the vast majority of towns in the area, making it an ideal tourist destination for families and young people alike.

Highlights & Hotspots

One of the biggest historical attractions to the island are the Jersey War Tunnels, painstakingly conserved tunnels revealing the history of the Occupation of Jersey during World War II. The tunnels depict a series of exhibitions documenting the five-year occupation and are incredible to witness first hand.
For history from a little further back, Elizabeth Castle was built in the 1590s as a means of defence for the island for many hundreds of years. Built upon a rocky mass off-shore, the castle is accessible by foot at low-tide but must be accessed by boat at high-tide. It’s a surreal experience walking through the castle, and an enlightening one too.
Of course, along with the history of the island, it is the natural landscape for which Jersey is so well celebrated. The Jersey Lavender Farm provides an acutely French experience and makes for an incredibly relaxing family day trip in the sun.
Due to the islands growing popularity with visitors from across the world, a number of world-class restaurants and popular bars have opened in the island. The food available ranges massively, with seafood in particular proving incredibly popular on this coastal island.
