Welcome to island life
We locals live life with gusto – the essence of joie de vivre has woven its way through the indomitable
British spirit and 800 years of independence to form an island with a character all its own. Fascinating and
uniquely Jersey, our long association with France and Britain have moulded the landscape, people, history
and culture.

Discover rugged coastline, towering cliffs and sandy beaches teeming with flora and fauna – all just
a stone’s throw from the lush rural interior where our world-class produce is lovingly nurtured before
finding its way to your plate. Be it Michelin-starred dining or a fresh crab sandwich at one of our typical
beach cafés, every mouthful bursts with flavour and freshness.

Neolithic stones older than the pyramids stand shoulder to shoulder with Medieval castles and the imposing
reminders of our recent history. Present day St Helier is a thriving and cosmopolitan hub offering all of
the cutting-edge pleasures of short-break luxury. And, just to add to your agenda, each year a wealth of
festivals and events take place, celebrating every aspect of what makes Jersey so special.

Whatever your reason for visiting; relax, re-charge, discover.

November
As November sets in, the trees lose the last of their
leaves and the familiar smell of wood smoke drifts from
the chimneys of Jersey’s granite farmhouses. It’s a time
to wrap up and discover the Island’s natural beauty on a
hearty walk in the low afternoon sunshine.
Surely the best way to reward yourself after a brisk
autumnal stroll is with a warming lunch in front of the
roaring fire of one of Jersey’s traditional, centuries-old
pubs. The annual Tennerfest food festival continues
through October until the middle of November, offering
mouth-watering menus from just £10 at many of the
Island’s superb choice of restaurants.
It’s also a wonderful season to peruse the many rustic
farm shops, bursting with the first of the local winter
vegetables. There are also Jersey Farm and Craft
Markets on St Aubin’s quayside; here you will find
stunning, hand-made souvenirs, delightful jams and
fudge and top-quality local produce.
Some retail therapy enhances any visit to the island
and choice of shops, markets and department stores
that line St Helier’s bustling town centre is enough
to make any shop-a-holic’s mouth water! Then, how
about swapping the chique boutiques of St Helier for
a fashion parade of a different kind? This year Jersey
Heritage presents “Marilyn”, a fabulous exhibition
at the Jersey Museum featuring the world’s largest
collection of genuine film costumes worn by screen
legend Marilyn Monroe.
November ends with the first of Jersey’s Christmas
celebrations. The annual “Fete dé Noué” festival
begins on November 26th and the last weekend of
the month sees a beautiful Victorian market installed
under the twinkling lights of St Helier’s Royal Square.
Make sure you pay a visit to enjoy mulled wine, roast
chestnuts, cheeky street theatre and a sumptuous
choice of Christmas crafts and treasures; it’s certain
to get you into the festive spirit!

What’s on diary –
January, February
and March – 2010
The Jersey year eases gently into January and, during
the first three months, we are lead from its crisp winter
days of blue skies and long shadows, through February’s
promise of spring with snowdrop and daffodil lined
hedgerows and into March with the glorious days of
nature’s re-awakening.
Exorcise the January blues with a visit to Gandey’s
International Christmas Circus and enjoy the thrills, spills
and razzle-dazzle of the big top. If you are still hungry
for more colour and spectacle, you will discover not one,
but two pantomimes on stage at the Jersey Arts Centre
and the Jersey Opera House.
After the good will of January’s diet, make the most of
“Spring Specials” – a wonderful selection of specially
created menus available from mid-February. Discover new
season cuisine at extraordinary value from over half of the
Island’s popular eateries. If ever there was an excuse to

Areas of natural interest
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 birdwatching.
Le Noir Pré
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).
Les Blanches Banques
The sand dune system at the southern end of St Ouen’s
Bay is recognised as an SSI and more than 400 plant
species have been recorded here. It also provides home
to the super Jersey Green Lizard.

nature
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 3km of high granite cliffs.
Portelet Common
With a mixture of dramatic sea views and a habitat typical of
an area subjected to the prevailing south-westerly wind, the
common has thick gorse cover, dwarf shrub heathland and
lichen-rich grassland. Peaking at sixty one metres above sea
level and covering thirty one hectares, this scenery is not to
be missed.
Ramsar Sites
These are areas listed on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of
International Importance which concerns the conservation
and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has
four! These magnificent sites are; the south-east coast of
Jersey, Les Minquiers, Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles, and
Les Pierres de Lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly
unique and well worth a visit; however, three of these sites
are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the
“Activities” section for 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
essential. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if necessary
but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking”
on page 41.
Reservoirs
There are several reservoirs within the island which can
be walked around. These include Queen’s Valley and Val
de la Mare. Other reservoirs include Millbrook, Grands
Vaux, Handois, Mourier Valley and Dannemarche.
St Catherine’s Woods
Also known as Rozel Woods, this woodland is set in a
deep-cut, steep-sided valley. A stream running through
the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of
habitats within the woodland.

Jersey War Tunnels
Since Jersey was liberated from German Occupation over 60 years ago, one major
tourist attraction will ensure that this dark period in Jersey’s history is never forgotten.
Jersey War Tunnels is a permanent reminder
of the German Occupation of Jersey, which
lasted almost five years until the island’s
liberation on 9 May 1945.
The tunnel complex formerly known as
Höhlgangsanlage 8 (Ho8), which is broadly
translated as ‘cave-passage-installation’, now
plays host to a series of galleries detailing
Occupation history through the diverse
experiences of those who lived through it.
Visitors will be led through the events of
evacuation, deportation, captivity and siege,
to eventual liberation.
The tunnel complex of Ho8, which took
almost three years to build, was designed as
an armaments workshop and bombproof
barracks. It was excavated by forced and
slave labourers from all over Europe, some of
whom died from the terrible hardship they
were made to endure.
Towards the end of 1943, amid fears of an
inevitable Allied invasion of Europe, Ho8 was
converted into a casualty receiving station or
underground hospital; its rooms were
transformed into wards to accommodate up
to 500 casualties and included a fully
equipped operating theatre. The invasion
never occurred, so the tunnel complex failed
to fulfil its final purpose.
The permanent ‘Captive Island’ exhibition
combines audio-visual testimony and archive
imagery with hands-on activities and
Occupation collections, fascinating for adults
and children alike. The exhibition endeavours

encouraging them to consider how they
would have reacted under the same
circumstances.
Above the tunnel complex, the evocative
landscape of the Garden of Reflection is a
permanent reminder of the Jersey men and
women who died as a direct consequence of
the Occupation; each person is
commemorated by a steel plaque set into the
lawns and flower-beds. There are further steel
plates containing thought provoking facts
about the devastating effect conflict can have
on human lives.
