the 60-second guide to Jersey

in its own head

"With our perfect combination of British charm and French class we really are a world apart from the mainland. Our weather is better than yours too!"

but more realistically

The weather is marginally better than mainland Britain but we're hardly talking sub-tropical. But it is indeed true that the Anglo-French influences on the island make it an alluring destination, with glorious beaches, stirring costal walks and fantastic food.

the vibe

Laid back and lovely. You won't be tearing it up till the early hours but you will feast like a king on lashings and lashings of cream.

the natives

It's not quite a 'local island for local people' but communities are close. Jersey is famed for its hospitality - you'll feel like one of the family in no time.

the weather

There's more chance of sun than in, say, Macclesfield, but Jersey does average 33 inches of rain per year, so pack a brolly just in case.

the local speciality

Cream or potatoes - take your pick. Or you can combine them both for total comfort food pleasure.

the celebrity

Fictional TV detective Bergerac, of course. The series was a mainstay of BBC drama in the 80s and gave the impression that Jersey was a hotbed of international crime. It isn't.

did you know?

Over 300 islanders were sentenced to the prison and concentration camps of mainland Europe during the occupation of Jersey in World War II. Twenty died as a result.

they say

"It's hard to imagine a more peaceful and tranquil island. Yet Jersey's landscape and the character of its people are forged by centuries of battles, exploration, struggle and reinvention." - Jersey Tourist Board
