Jersey profile

The island of Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and a popular holiday destination. In its long history it has often exchanged hands and was owned by Brittany, the Vikings, Normandy, England and Nazi Germany before becoming a British Crown dependency. The rich history of the island has provided travellers with many attractions, such as medieval Mont Orgueil Castle, Jersey War Tunnels and the Jersey Museum. Jersey’s natural untouched landscape offers another attraction and the three Sites of Special Interest on the island hold a great ecological and geological interest for visitors. The Jersey Zoological Park, founded by author Gerald Durrell, houses several rare and endangered species for the animal-lover and the cliffs and hills provide a beautiful backdrop to the many great walks one can take on the island. Finally, several restaurants, leisure facilities and nightclubs give visitors great activities to do in town and at night.
