Situated
just off the coast of Normandy,
France—in
the Bay of St. Michel—is the small but distinctive island of Jersey.
Together with Guernsey,
the island is best known as one of the Channel
Islands and is a place of unspoiled landscapes, temperate
climate and a unique blend of British and French culture. The islands
are not officially part of the United Kingdom
but have been considered British since 1066. Prior to the 19th
century, fishing, shipbuilding and agriculture were the cornerstones of
Jersey life, but developments in transportation brought visitors to the
island and its tourism traffic continues today, along with a healthy
trade of offshore investing.
The Jersey
Museum in St. Helier
speaks to this history, as does the Mont
Orgueil Castle in St. Martin.
Built in the 13th century, the castle dominates the harbour at Gorey
and is considered one of the best preserved British castles around.
Rivaling Jersey’s history are its outdoors. Pristine, white-sand beaches
and coastal cliffs adorn its coasts while the isle itself is home to
many outstanding private gardens,
many of which open several times a year to the public. Flower fiends
can also time a visit to coincide with the Battle
of Flowers, an annual parade held since 1902, or visit the
award-winning Eric
Young Orchid Foundation.
