Jersey may be small, but don’t underestimate its hidden depths. From winding 15mph ‘Green Lanes’ to scenic coastal touring routes, steep clifftop panoramas and cycle routes that hug the coast. If you’re keen to explore, you’ll find the journey just as much a part of the experience as the destination. From rental cars and cycle hire to the local bus network, there’s a transport option for everyone.
Driving.
In Jersey, we drive on the left. The island’s speed limit is set to 40 mph / 64 km per hour and despite its small size, you’ll find plenty to explore with over 350 miles of paved road winding between fields, farms and along the coastline.
If you’re planning to drive in Jersey, you’ll need to hold a Certificate of Insurance or an International Green Card, a valid Driving Licence or International Driving Permit (UK International Driving Permits are not valid). Photocopies are not acceptable. If you’re bringing your car, you’ll need to display a nationality plate on the back of your vehicle.
Public transport.
Take the bus.
Let someone else take the wheel and use Jersey’s network of public buses to navigate your way around the island.
Walking.
That’s right. Jersey’s small on size, only nine miles by five, but it’s rich in off-the-beaten-track locations, making it perfect to explore on foot. Discover routes that will take you on a tour of all corners of the island and more ways to fill your walking getaway.
Stride out and discover Jersey on foot.
Enjoy the freedom and uncover a whole island’s worth of unique perspectives and discoveries, from tree-lined country lanes that open out to spectacular sea views to hidden-away bays and secret beaches all to yourself. Take a walk on the wild side and see what you’ll discover. Set out to explore independently or discover more on a walking tour.
Get your wheels in a spin.
Cycling.
Jersey is laced with quiet cycle-friendly routes that take you through farm, field and coast and lead you to some of the best views in Jersey. Bring your own bike or hire one here and freewheel your way around this unique, unspoilt landscape. Our recommendation? Download a copy of our cycle map and plan a route, with a refuel stop along the way. Pack your panniers with a picnic from Relish Delicatessen in St. Helier or the Central Market.
