Jersey

The terrain of Jersey ranges from broad sandy bays on the west coast to rugged cliffs on the north coast, with shores strongly defined by the large tides of the English Channel. Saint Ouen’s Bay forms a long sweep of beach and dunes, while inland lanes pass fields, granite farmhouses and parish churches. St Helier is the island’s main town and harbour; above the east coast, Mont Orgueil Castle has overlooked Gorey Harbour since the Middle Ages. Jersey’s distinct identity reflects Norman-French roots, its status as a British Crown Dependency, and long-established Jersey Royal potato and dairy traditions.
