More about Jersey
Jersey, or the Bailiwick of Jersey to give it its proper name, is a self-governing island (along with a small group of uninhabited islands) situated just off the coast of Normandy, France, although it is British Crown dependency. It has a population of around 98,000, and has a port in St Helier, the main island's capital.
Despite being small, Jersey has over 350 miles of road which can be used to explore the island's wonderful natural geography. Those wishing to explore Jersey by bicycle should note that the island is excessively hilly.
Jersey was the only part of Great Britain to be successfully occupied by the Nazis during World War II, and tourists can visit the extensive network of war tunnels that were built during this time. Jersey has an interesting history, as for many years it was part of the Dukedom of Normandy, an area of France that frequently switched ownership between the British and the French from 900 until the 1600s.
The island thrives on tourism and there are plenty of places to stay, eat and drink, particularly in St Helier. Most cuisines are represented, with special emphasis on Italian, French and Portuguese restaurants.
