Jersey
Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, offers a unique blend of British and French influence, wrapped in a rugged coastline and rich history. From the medieval Mont Orgueil Castle overlooking Gorey Harbour to the underground passages of the Jersey War Tunnels, there’s no shortage of historical landmarks to explore. The capital, St Helier, combines harbourside charm with modern flair—home to museums, galleries and a lively marina area perfect for a relaxed stroll or boat tour. For outdoor enthusiasts, coastal walks along the north cliffs or tidal expeditions to the iconic Corbière Lighthouse offer dramatic views and an ever-changing landscape.
There’s a strong cultural pulse running through Jersey’s festivals, music events and local art scene. The island hosts open-air concerts and traditional fairs throughout the year, and smaller galleries in St Helier showcase work by contemporary Channel Island artists. Maritime heritage also features strongly, particularly in coastal towns like St Aubin. Markets and independent shops sell locally made crafts, and the blend of French and British traditions comes through in everyday life—from the bilingual street names to Norman-style architecture.
Jersey’s food scene is proudly local and shaped by the sea. Fresh seafood is a highlight—think scallops, crab, and lobster landed daily and served in beachside cafés and award-winning restaurants. The island’s famous Jersey Royal potatoes feature on menus throughout spring, often alongside creamy cheeses and seasonal vegetables. You’ll find everything from fine dining to relaxed pubs and beach huts offering seafood platters with a sea view. Whether it’s oysters at low tide or afternoon tea in a historic manor, the island’s produce and culinary approach are central to the experience.
