How to get to Jersey.
Jersey’s just a hop, skip and a jump away. With over 20 departure points from the UK and Ireland, getting to Jersey is easy. Fly here in around an hour or jump aboard a ferry for an escape that’s bursting with character and a continental twist.

A curiously Brit...(ish) history.
History is very much alive in Jersey, but it’s not quite 1066 and all that. Uncover 250,000 years of tales from our time capsule isle. Hear stories of Paleolithic nomads chasing mammoths off our cliffs, Celtic coin hoards cached by tribes fleeing Caesar’s armies to a king in exile and an island under occupation.
We’ve knitted Jersey jumpers on the backs of fishermen who sailed to the new world and created some of the British Isles’ earliest art. And ancient castles? We’ve got three that we built earlier… a few centuries earlier that is and they’re big enough to dwarf our epic coastline. Make a round of the forts that have defended the island from English and French in turn. You get the point… We’re as British as it gets for a crown dependency.

Jersey War Tunnels
Jersey War Tunnels tells the true story of wartime Jersey in a way that no other visitor attraction does. It’s the best place to get a true picture of what life was really like in Jersey during WWII. The exhibition is housed within an underground tunnel complex, built by the Germans using slave labour.

Le Moulin de Quétivel Watermill and Tearoom
Located in one of Jersey's most picturesque valleys, Le Moulin de Quétivel is the only surviving working watermill in the island. Surrounded by water meadows, a visit to the mill will give you a fascinating insight into Jersey's agricultural and industrial heritage.

Maritime Museum & Occupation Tapestry Gallery
Located by the historic harbour of St. Helier, the Maritime Museum is all about seafaring, navigation and the elements. Also on-site, you'll find the Occupation Tapestry Gallery, an award-winning Occupation Tapestry that was woven by islanders to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the liberation.

Mont Orgueil Castle
Mont Orgueil Castle, or Gorey Castle, has cast its imposing shadow over the beautiful fishing port of Gorey for more than 800 years. One of the finest examples of a medieval fortress in existence, Mont Orgueil is also a symbol of Jersey’s national identity and independent character.

A spot of Brit...(ish) culture.
Jersey has a unique feel about it. We have our own peculiar customs, laws, and traditions. The king might reside on St. Helier’s high street but turn the corner and you’ll find yourself on cobbled ‘French Lane’ wandering into a quirky market full of traders selling island wares and produce.
Explore the island’s galleries and theatres where local and international artists let their creativity soar. Discover festivals where you can stir the bâchin to cook up a butter that’s not really a butter, or guide a horse around the pressoir to mash up an appley brew that has quenched the island’s thirst for hundreds of years. And in that charming way we have to confuse and confound, we even have our own language – Jèrriais. But even if you can’t for the life of you pronounce our place names, there’ll always be a friendly local nearby who’s happy to help.

Savour Great Brit...(ish) flavours.
The flavours of Jersey might seem familiar but we can guarantee you’ll feel an island flair dancing across your palette. Peckish travellers will find farm stalls, food markets and beach restaurants bursting with unique Jersey produce, from famous Jersey Dairy to fresh oysters washed clean by the biggest tidal range in Europe.
What greater pleasure could there be than rocking up to a laid back coastal restaurant in ten minutes and tucking into freshly picked crab plucked from the sea that very morning? Raise a pint of island brewed beer, tuck into a Brit…(ish) scone with lashings of Jersey dairy cream, or indulge in a decadent Fruit de Mer experience. Just make sure you pack a healthy appetite and a phone camera and you’ll live snappily ever after.

The Great Brit...(ish) outdoors.
There’s nothing more British than stretching your legs in the bracing sea air. And we have over 48 miles of dramatic coastline to do the job. Where else in Britain can you catch a spectacular sunrise in the east, enjoy a delicious seafood picnic on an otherworldly offshore reef, before watching the sun sink slowly over western shores, all in one glorious day? Nowhere, that’s where.
Discover a breathtaking and storied landscape, where tidal lunar landscapes and wooded lanes meet sheltered bays in the south coast, while craggy coastlines merge with the drama of the Atlantic Ocean as you climb to the island’s northern heights where you can almost reach out and touch France. As you cruise along Jersey’s longest coastal highway, the five mile road, you’ll take in sweeping sand dunes and grasslands teeming with wildlife, where the Atlantic surf washes up against miles of unspoiled beaches.
Stay in the loop.
