St. Helier
Boasting some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, the Island of Jersey is a destination that should not be missed. With an intensely rich history, Jersey is home to the beautiful St. Brelades Bay, Saint Ouen's beach, Corbiere Lighthouse and the world famous Jersey Zoo. Jersey is an island measuring 118.2 square kilometres so is very small in size but has lots to offer. With mild winters and warm summers, it's a perfect destination on its own or to add on to any UK visit. Jersey’s history is influenced by its strategic location between the northern coast of France and the southern coast of England; the island's recorded history extends over a thousand years.
