With my wife Pamela having been born in New Jersey, U.S., she was very curious to find out what the ‘original’ Jersey was like. There was nothing left to do but for us to go and find out! Living in Scotland, there are direct flights to the island of Jersey, so it was a simple trip for us to make.
Jersey is part of the Channel Islands, which are located in the English Channel between the south English coast and the north French coast. It gets a little bit confusing, but the Channel Islands are British Crown Dependencies and are not actually part of the United Kingdom or the European Union. However, the islands defence and foreign affairs are represented by the British government.
This rather unusual arrangement has meant the Channel Islands are of unique character and have a mix of European cultures. Being a small island, only 100 km2, it is very easy to cover the whole isle, and with a population of just over 100,000, the place never feels crowded – except on a sunny day on one of their superb beaches!

Elizabeth Castle – Elizabeth Castle dates back to the 1590s and is crammed full of history. We learned about the governorship of Sir Walter Raleigh and how the castle gave King Charles II refuge during the English Civil War, all the way up to the part it played during the Second World War. Plan to spend most the day here, and make sure you check out the ancient Hermitage on the southern side of the castle. At low tide, the castle can easily be walked out to and when the tide comes in, you can ferried around by an aquatic bus!

Corbiere Lighthouse – Being an island, Jersey has its fair share of beautiful coastline, and none more so than the small, rugged Corbière peninsula, which is topped off by the picture postcard lighthouse. The causeway out to the lighthouse gets cut off by the tide, so make sure that you aim your visit for low tide. An interesting fact is that the lighthouse, built in 1874, was the first in Britain to be built of reinforced concrete.

Jersey War Tunnels – Jersey and the other Channel Islands were the only land of the British Isles captured by the Germans during World War 2. This took the form of a five-year occupation, which has left indelible scars on the people and the island itself. The most significant site from this era are the Jersey War Tunnels which were dug deep into the hillside, running over 1km in length. The tunnels have since been converted into a highly informative museum, which gave us a great insight into the hardships that the island’s people faced during the war.

Mont Orgueil Castle – Mont Orgueil Castle dominates the small village of Gorey and has done so for more than 800 years. One of the finest examples of a medieval fortress in existence, Mont Orgueil has witnessed many of the key events that have shaped Jersey’s history. Gorey is easily accessible from St. Helier by bus and make sure you add enough time for your trip to include a wonder around the pretty village and sample one of its lovely restaurants.

St. Brelade’s Bay Beach – St Brelade’s Bay is set in a beautiful location and it is easy to see why this is Jersey’s busiest resort beach. The bay is very sheltered from everything but onshore breezes. There is soft, golden sand along the entire length of the beach.

The Mansell Collection – Whether you are a fan of forumla one racing or not, the Nigel Mansell Museum is well worth visiting. It is an entertaining homage to Mansell’s highly successful career and it seems that all his trophies and memorabilia are here on show. Also, of interest for lovers of architecture is the beautiful art deco building that the museum shares with a car dealership.

Samares Manor – Just a 30-minute walk from the centre of St. Helier is the attractive Samares Manor and its accompanying botanical gardens. The house itself can be toured at 11:30 and 14:30 during the tourist season, but the real star of the show are the gardens. The present gardens were first created in the 1920s by Sir James Knott who bought the manor in 1924. This substantial work included re-claiming the salt marsh area near the manor.

Parish Church of St. Brelade – When visiting the beach at St. Brelade, make sure that you visit this lovely little church. There are actually two church buildings here, the Parish Church, and the Fishermen’s Chapel. This occupies the site of the original wooden church built by St Brelade in the 6th Century. You can also get one of the best views of the bay from the church yard.

Naval Tower MP2 –
Overlooking the Corbiere Lighthouse, the Naval Tower MP2 looms large over the coastline. Although internal access is not possible, it is only a five-minute diversion on the way to the lighthouse and it gave us an understanding of the scale of German fortifications on the island during World War 2. Jersey possibly has the best preserved German defences in the world. It is also surprising just how many defences there actually were for such a small island until you understand how desperate Hitler was to keep possession of the Channel Islands, so he created a series of island fortresses.

Portelet Bay & Janvrin’s Tomb – Portelet Bay will take your breath away as you survey it from the cliffs above. There is a steep public path down to the beach, which is not suitable for all visitors. The focus of the bay is the rock just off the beach. It is connected by a narrow causeway, which gets covered as the tide comes in, so take note of when low tide is, so that you visit the rock. It is worth noting that Jersey experiences some of the biggest tidal ranges in the world, so the tide can come in very quickly and catch you out. The tower on the rock in the middle of the bay is commonly known as ‘Janvrin’s Tomb’. It takes its name from Philippe Janvrin, a sea captain returning to Jersey in 1721 from France. He was not allowed to dock because of fears that he and his ship’s company might bring in the plague. While anchored offshore in Belcroute Bay he fell sick and died, but the worried authorities wouldn’t allow his body to be brought ashore. Instead, he was buried on the rocky islet known as Ile au Guerdain.
Address: Portelet Bay, St Brelade, Jersey

St. Matthew’s Church – Glass Church – From the outside, St. Matthew’s Church looks quite modest and perhaps a little boring. However, we persevered and on entering we were treated to beautiful displays of Lalique glass. Indeed, no similar commission of René Lalique glassware survives anywhere else in the world. The glassware had been commissioned by Florence Boot in 1934 commemoration of her late husband Jesse, the owner of Boots the Chemist.

Battery Lothringen – This is probably the biggest gun emplacement currently open to the public, and is in fact part of a series of emplacements along the headland, most of which can be visited. Visiting hours can be a little erratic, as the site is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, so it is best to check online for the opening hours. This impressive bunker was the Command Post (Leitstand) for the naval coastal artillery. The bunker included a range-finder and two periscopes to determine the distance and speed of sea targets. Amongst the memorabilia on show at the site are weaponry, uniforms, communications and cutlery. There are also articles about those in residence at the bunker and many items that depict the relationship the German soldiers had with the island.

La Hougue Bie – La Hougue Bie has been described as one of Europe’s finest passage graves and was built around 6,000 years ago. Perhaps surprisingly, you are allowed to enter this ancient site and you are even able to stand up fully within the tomb. There is also a medieval chapel on top of the prehistoric mound, as well as a command bunker built during the German Occupation to the side of the mound. There is also a very informative museum at the site, which amongst other things, displays the world’s largest Celtic coin hoard on display.

Steam Clock – Ariadne – Listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s largest steam clock, the Jersey steam clock is a full-scale replica of the centre section of a paddle steamboat named the Ariadne. The clock was commissioned in 1996, and is an interesting monument to seek out while exploring St. Helier’s quayside. Unfortunately, it wasn’t working when we visited, but don’t let that put you off!
