Welcome to Island Life

Proud and passionate about its unique character, the Island has an identity forged over time with equal amounts of indomitable British spirit and French joie de vivre.

Yet, like the sparkling seas that surround its shores, it’s an Island that’s always on the move, ever-changing… a beautifully balanced blend of the traditional and quirky entwined with a cosmopolitan and vibrant life-style.

With the richest dairy produce in the world, award-winning seafood and the sublime Jersey Royal new potato among its harvest, the food served here is to die for. You can taste the freshness at every eatery – from the most bijou of beach cafes to the ritziest of restaurants.

There’s never a dull moment – our uniqueness is celebrated throughout the year with festivals and events that champion our colourful culture and heritage, while the jaw-dropping scenery inspires all who come here to step outside and discover a natural environment accented with centuries of history.

It’s a small island full of big adventures...

Jersey and the Great War: 12 Voices - Exhibition On 4 August 1914, following the German failure to withdraw from neutral Belgium, Britain joined in a war that was to last over four years, range over the entire globe and cost over 750,000 of her citizens their life. At the time, Jersey had a resident population of just under 52,000 and approximately 20% of them served the British or French war effort, which left few islanders untouched by the tragedy of war. While the story of the Great War is a story of millions, it is also the story of individuals.

Jersey and the Great War tells some of those stories... Free to Jersey Heritage Members and Jersey Pass Holders.

Sponsored by Credit Suisse.

Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: £9 adult, £5 child, £8 senior, under 6s free Place: Jersey Museum, Weighbridge, St Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org

Ice Age Island - Exhibition This is the second year of the Ice Age Island three-year archaeological project in which Jersey Heritage, and other partners on the island, is working with a team of academics drawn from a number of prestigious universities and institutions who are exploring Jersey’s prehistory.

Specialists are searching our headlands, coasts, caves, fields and seabed in the hope of discovering new sites and Ice Age landscapes, as well as applying cutting edge scientific techniques to already known sites. This exhibition reports on their progress as they discover new and exciting stories about how our ancestors lived and adapted to the Ice Age world. It is a story that spans over half a million years and also tells of the discovery of the Celtic Coin Hoard in Jersey in 2012 with a film of the excavation and a full replica of the hoard.

Jersey and the Great War: 12 Voices - Exhibition On 4 August 1914, following the German failure to withdraw from neutral Belgium, Britain joined in a war that was to last over four years, range over the entire globe and cost over 750,000 of her citizens their life. At the time, Jersey had a resident population of just under 52,000 and approximately 20% of them served the British or French war effort, which left few islanders untouched by the tragedy of war. While the story of the Great War is a story of millions, it is also the story of individuals.

Jersey and the Great War tells some of those stories... Free to Jersey Heritage Members and Jersey Pass Holders.

Samarès Manor

Jersey’s Garden Treasure

The Fascination of Herbs

The Gardens

Samarès Manor’s herb garden, the largest and most comprehensive in Britain, contains hundreds of culinary, fragrant, cosmetic and medicinal plants, from trees to small shrubs and annuals. The garden, created by renowned garden designer and author, John Brookes, contains large blocks of herbs, set within an abstract array of gravelled paths. The introduction of herbs at Samarès has helped to widen public interest in these versatile plants and encouraged people to design their own herb gardens.

Created in the 1920s by Sir James Knott and substantially restored and replanted over the last twenty years, the gardens of Samarès Manor embrace many different design styles and themes. They include a diversity of environmental conditions and plant types. The gardens evoke feelings of tranquillity and peace, whilst being stimulating, interesting and fun.

The Botanical Project Samarès Manor’s response to the increased public awareness in plants and gardening has been to introduce an educational approach to the on-going development of the gardens. It has included a comprehensive programme of plant identification and labelling, together with the creation of gardens which illustrate different design themes and the effects of seasonality, climate and environment.

Many tender and exotic plants that thrive in Jersey’s mild climate can be seen growing at Samarès.

Enjoy Nature La Lande de Ouest Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs along the greater part of the south-west coast. A designated Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora and fauna, this area is an important part of the island’s landscape, and biodiversity. A great area for walking and bird watching.

St Catherine’s Woods

Le Noir Pré

Ramsar Sites

Often known simply as “The Orchid Field”, this unique site actually consists of two distinct but adjoining wet meadows. Le Noir Pré and the smaller Le Clos du Seigneur. The site is one of the last remaining strongholds of the Jersey Orchid or loose-flowered Orchid (Orchis Laxiflora). Orchid flowering season May and June.

These are areas listed on the Ramstar List of Westland’s of International Importance which concerns the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has four!

These magnificent sites are; the southeast coast of Jersey, Le Minquiers, Les Ècréhous, and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and worth a visit; however, three of these sites are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the “Activities” section of the operators who can take you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south coast area can be walked around and guided walks are available (contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”). Important! If you wish to walk around the area independently please seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you can become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is essentially. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if necessary but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking” section of this guide.

St Catherine’s Woods

Also known as Rozel Woods, this woodland is set in a deep-cut, steepsided valley. A stream running through the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of habitats within the woodland.

Les Landes This coastal heathland is the most spectacular aspect of Jersey’s wild environments. Les Landes is Jersey’s largest single expanse of maritime heathland covering 160 hectares and bound by 3 km of high granite cliffs.

Val de la Mare Arboretum

Le Noir Pré

Hidden away in the north west corner of the Island next to Val de la Mare reservoir, is one of Britain’s most unique collection of trees in an arboretum called ‘The Forgotten Forest’. Planted in the late 1970s, seedlings grown from seeds gathered all over the world have progressed into an eclectic collection of mature trees. Divided into zones within the arboretum, North American maples and oaks stand near Australasian eucalyptus trees, interesting flora compliment a majestic wingnut, walnut and hickory zone. Don’t miss a giant Californian redwood specimen or the Japanese zone alongside the conifers and pines. There’s even an ‘Elm Trial Zone’ containing species of the tree which are thought to be resistant to Dutch elm disease.

In car parks the charge is variable – see the notice boards at the entrance and within each car park for details of the tariff.

You can buy books of Paycards wherever you see a sign similar to the one above displayed in shops, garages, hotels, your hire-car company, the car ferry, the Visitor Information Office or the Car Park Administration Office in Sand Street.They are available in three denominations – 1 Unit, 2 Units and 4 Units. There are 10 Paycards in each book, but you can buy them singly.

Upon arrival at the parking place: Decide how long you intend to stay (remember on-street parking and some car parks are limited to short-stay).

PAYCARDS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Calculate the cost from the notice board (on-street parking is 1 Unit per visit). Scratch off five panels – MONTH, DAY, DATE, HOUR AND MINUTE (to next 5 minutes) to show the time of your arrival or the start of the next charging period if parking during a non chargeable period (overnight or Sunday).

When using more than one Paycard it is important to scratch off each one identically.

Display the validated Paycards by placing them face-up on the dashboard so that all the details on each card displayed can be clearly seen from outside the vehicle. You will also find instructions of the reverse of each Paycard.

BEACH LIFEGUARDS IN JERSEY A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.

St Brelade’s Bay has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in the UK by Tripadvisor’s Travellers Choice 2013
