Overview: Jersey
A visit to the Channel Islands can be several holidays rolled into one – a perfect combination of sun and solace; many visitors are drawn by the culture and history, or to discover the abundant wildlife. Others go to be active - sailing, surfing, fishing, walking and cycling can all be enjoyed.
The five Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm all have their own distinctive character and offer a holiday experience like no other.
Located some 100 miles (160 kms) south of mainland Britain, Jersey is the most southerly island of the British Isles and close to France, lying just 14 miles (22 kms) from its coast.
Despite its compact size - just 9 miles by 5 miles (14 kms by 8 kms) with an overall area of 45 square miles (116 square kms) - Jersey possesses a rich and varied landscape, where even the remotest corners of Jersey are easily accessible. With a permanent population of over 87,000, the official language is English, although many speak French.
With a total of 450 miles (720 kms) of road covering the Island, St Helier and the main arterial routes can be busy, most are generally quieter. A network of inland country roads of around 45 miles (72 kms) of inland country roads, designated as 'Green Lanes', have a speed limit of 15 mph (24 kph), with priority given to walkers, cyclists and horse riders, and exist in all but three of the Island's parishes. 'Green Lanes' will hopefully be extended over the next few years, to provide an island-wide network.
Cyclists, meanwhile, will delight in 96 miles (154 kms) of cycle routes, ranging from coastal to rural and including one to the Airport. Most routes are on-road, though there's an off-road track running all the way along the south coast to La Corbière. Cycle tours can be arranged privately through the Island's many tour guides, including those with cycles available for hire.
Walking tours led by experienced guides, will give the more active holidaymaker the chance to explore sand dunes, woodlands, coastal cliff areas, beaches and maritime heath, can also arranged.
The sea dominates the landscape, with stunning views of the surrounding Atlantic Ocean to be had from virtually every point on the island. The coastline boasts majestic cliffs, exposed bays, sandy beaches and rocky coves all easily accessible by road or on foot.
