About Jersey
Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and can be found close to British and French shores. Jersey is English speaking and uses British currency. It is an intriguing island to explore from seaside towns brimming with English charm, to rolling green
hills, great for countryside walks. For such a small island there is plenty to do including water sports, shopping in St. Helier, golf and horse riding.
Jersey has many French influences; including its traditional language Jerez. Although not widely spoken now it is part of Jersey’s heritage and was derived from the French language.
The island is famous for its cows that produce deliciously creamy milk along with Jersey Royal potatoes, perfect simply boiled and then eaten with a knob of butter.
Jersey is unique as it can be easily incorporated into a European trip due to its accessibility from both England and France. Although only nine miles in length, Jersey has a good variety of accommodation to choose from including glamping sites, beach
hotels, self-catering cottages and guesthouses.
