Jersey Island attractions and points of interest
Jersey is a Crown dependency of the United Kingdom, located near the coast of Normandy, France. The bailiwick consists of the island of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, along with surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks. St Helier is the capital of the Island, although Government House is situated in St Saviour. You must visit the port, the beaches and the picturesque towns.

Jersey Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K)
100 miles from the coast of Britain and just 14 off the coast of France is Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. Jersey is compact, making it easy to explore. Country lanes and walking trails lace the island, ensuring Jersey’s attractions are never far away.
After exploring the picture-perfect capital, St. Helier, head off to explore the island. Each of Jersey’s four coastlines has its own distinctive personality. Head eastward to La Hougue Bie, one of the world’s oldest buildings, and the port of Gorey, with its iconic medieval castle.
Be sure to take in a few sections of the North Coast Path, which offers some of the island’s most dramatic views. Then head south along the west coast to St. Ouen’s Bay, where surfers will find some of the island’s best waves and history buffs can explore the Channel Islands Military Museum. On the southern coast, don’t miss the sheltered sands of St. Brelade, the WW2 German command bunker at Noirmont Point, the tiny islet of Janvrin’s Tomb, and St. Aubin’s Fort.
While the coastline serves up Jersey’s finest views, the island’s interior offers plenty for visitors too, such as the Jersey War Tunnels, the Hamptonne Country Life Museum, the Pallot Steam and Motor Museum and the Jersey Zoo.
If you’re looking for history, adventure, incredible food, and total relaxation, Jersey weaves it all together into something truly magical. It’s not quite British and it’s not quite French, but Jersey is 100% unique.

Jersey officially the Bailiwick of Jersey , is a Crown dependency of the United Kingdom, ruled by the Crown in right of Jersey, off the coast of Normandy, France. Jersey was part of the Duchy of Normandy, whose dukes went on to become kings of England from 1066. After Normandy was lost by the kings of England in the 13th century, and the ducal title surrendered to France, Jersey and the other Channel Islands remained attached to the English crown.
Jersey is a self-governing parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy, with its own financial, legal and judicial systems, and the power of self-determination. The Lieutenant Governor on the island is the personal representative of the Queen. British cultural influence on the island can also be seen with the main language being English, British pound currency, driving on the left, BBC and ITV regions, school curriculum following that of England, and the popularity of British sports, including football, cricket and rugby. The bailiwick consists of the island of Jersey, along with surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks collectively named Les Dirouilles, Les Écréhous, Les Minquiers, Les Pierres de Lecq, and other reefs. The island of Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands.
Although the bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey are often referred to collectively as the Channel Islands, the Channel Islands are not a constitutional or political unit. Jersey has a separate relationship to the Crown from the other Crown dependencies of Guernsey and the Isle of Man, although all are held by the monarch of the United Kingdom. It is not part of the United Kingdom, and has an international identity separate from that of the UK, but the UK is constitutionally responsible for the defence of Jersey. The definition of United Kingdom in the British Nationality Act 1981 is interpreted as including the UK and the Islands together. The European Commission have confirmed in a written reply to the European Parliament in 2003 that Jersey is within the Union as a European Territory for whose external relationships the UK is responsible. Jersey is not fully part of the European Union but has a special relationship with it, notably being treated as within the European Community for the purposes of free trade in goods.
Jersey is a distinct jurisdiction for the purposes of conflict of laws, separate from the other Channel Islands, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Jersey law has been influenced by several different legal traditions, in particular Norman customary law, English common law and modern French civil law. Jersey's legal system is therefore described as 'mixed' or 'pluralistic', and sources of law are in French and English languages, although since the 1950s the main working language of the legal system is English.
Administratively, Jersey is divided into 12 parishes. All border on the sea. They were named after the Christian saints to whom their ancient parish churches were dedicated:
Grouville (historically Saint Martin de Grouville; incorporating Les Minquiers)
Saint Brélade
Saint Clément
Saint Helier
Saint John
Saint Lawrence
Saint Martin (historically Saint Martin le Vieux; incorporating Les Écréhous)

5 Scottish Estates YOU Can Check Out
Scotland's storybook countryside is decorated with some of Great Britain's most elegant estates...and many are open to the public. To get some of that Downton Abbey feeling yourself, head out into the Scottish Borders to see how the aristocracy lived, worked, and played.
There's no need to bring tux and tails or worry about dungeon imprisonment. Nowadays, that dungeon is more likely a restaurant and the falconry is only for demonstration purposes. And the dress code? Not so much. Instead of a dinner jacket, pack your hiking boots and mountain bike, because the grounds of these sprawling estates are open to trekkers and nature lovers.
This video visits five Scottish estates that travelers to Scotland can check out:
* Floors Castle
* Bowhill House
* Abbotsford House
* Jedburgh Abbey
* Dalhousie House
Let's go where the air is cleaner and the views are endless: The Scottish Borders.

WEEKEND ON THE CHANNEL ISLAND OF JERSEY! - Dolphins, Amazing Food & Beach Walks!
In June I spent 48 hours on the Channel Island of Jersey located between England and France.
This was my second visit to Jersey and although it was a lot more grey and cloudy on this visit I still loved it!
The flight from London to Jersey island is only 40 minutes which makes it a great place to visit for just a weekend. We picked up our hire car at the airport on Friday evening and drove to our hotel - Beausite Hotel in Gorey.
On Saturday we started our day at the Jersey Museum, we were meant to go surfing with Laneez Surf School but the weather cancelled it so we went for lunch at The Lookout Café, we then went for a walk around Bouley Bay on the North Coast which was really gorgeous and so quiet and peaceful! After our walk we went for a swim back at the hotel before going to Portelet Bay Café for a Wood Fire Pizza Dinner and we tried to catch the sunset at St Ouen’s Bay on the West Coast before going to bed.
Sunday morning consisted of going for another walk to Plemont Bay which is said to be Jerseys best beach! Lunch was at Feast in Gorey Harbour followed by a RIB boat experience along the North Shore with Jersey Seafaris. We saw the gorgeous coastline, a few caves and best of all, dolphins!
Before long it was time to head back to the airport and back to London. Jersey is gorgeous but one of the other reasons I love it is because there is so much to do there and it’s very possible to visit for just 48 hours over a weekend, see and do so much and leave feeling refreshed and revived. It is really is #theislandbreak
And yes, Lucy & I did have matching Top Shop rain jackets, and yes we planned to take them both! (links below)
