About Jersey
It might be thought that an area of forty-five square miles with a
permanent population of something over 85,000 would have little but
buildings to explore. But approach the island by air and you see lush
valleys, well-kept fields and an unspoilt coastline. Arrive by sea
and the rocky grandeur of La Corbiere, the sweep of St. Aubin‘s Bay
and picturesque Elizabeth Castle set the scene for a grand encounter
with a small but delightful island whose variety of scenery, wealth
of history and sheer beauty compete with much larger and, perhaps,
better-known destinations.
Some 450 miles of roadway (comprising a mix of fast roads and small
country lanes) create endless opportunities to explore and discover
the unexpected and impressive. Jersey also has a network of over 46
miles of Green Lanes where a speed limit of 15 mph is imposed and
priority to given to walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
The sea dominates the landscape with views of the surrounding Atlantic
Ocean accessible from virtually every point on the island. The coastline
also offers infinite variety, majestic cliffs, exposed bays, sandy
beaches and rocky coves are all immediately accessible by road or on
foot and just a few minutes drive from any community. Due to Jersey‘s
unique position in the Bay of St. Malo the island grows and shrinks
twice a day as the tide ebbs and flows in excess of 40 feet - one of
the highest tidal ranges in the world.
