Welcome<br />
to island life<br />
We locals live life with gusto – the essence of joie de vivre has woven its way through the indomitable<br />
British spirit and 800 years of independence to form an island with a character all its own. Fascinating and<br />
uniquely Jersey, our long association with France and Britain have moulded the landscape, people, history<br />
and culture.<br />
Discover rugged coastline, towering cliffs and sandy beaches teeming with flora and fauna – all just<br />
a stone’s throw from the lush rural interior where our world-class produce is lovingly nurtured before<br />
finding its way to your plate. Be it Michelin-starred dining or a fresh crab sandwich at one of our typical<br />
beach cafes, every mouthful bursts with flavour and freshness.<br />
Neolithic stones older than the pyramids stand shoulder to shoulder with Medieval castles and the imposing<br />
reminders of our recent history. Present day St Helier is a thriving and cosmopolitan hub offering all of<br />
the cutting-edge pleasures of short-break luxury. And, just to add to your agenda, each year a wealth of<br />
festivals and events take place, celebrating every aspect of what makes Jersey so special.<br />
Whatever your reason for visiting; relax, re-charge, discover.<br />

Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust<br />
No visit to Jersey is complete without a day at Durrell Wildlife<br />
Conservation Trust, where you can see over 1400 mammals, birds,<br />
reptiles and amphibians in 32 acres of beautiful gardens and parkland.<br />
Among the endangered species at Durrell are three generations of<br />
Sumatran orangutans; mighty “Ya Kwanza”, the 35 stone Western<br />
Lowland gorilla and his family, a Madagascan gentle lemur community;<br />
Brazilian black-lion tamarins and silvery marmosets in open woodland.<br />
Durrell’s safely enclosed, animal-themed play area is perfect for<br />
youngsters. At the Education Centre, children can enjoy close encounters<br />
with reptiles and enjoy books, jigsaws and other play equipment. Don’t<br />
forget the gift shop with a treasure trove of presents, plus<br />
our fabulous buffet style Dodo Restaurant.<br />
Famous author, naturalist and broadcaster Gerald Durrell<br />
founded the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust 50 years<br />
ago with the mission to save endangered wild animals from<br />
extinction; his park is the Trust’s international headquarters<br />
and plays a crucial role in this mission. Here conservationists<br />
work closely with the animals to better understand what is<br />
required to ensure they survive in their natural habitats. This<br />
information is shared with colleagues working on wild animal<br />
projects worldwide.<br />
In <strong>2009</strong> Durrell is 50 years old. So while Durrell is organising a<br />
special day to celebrate 50 years of existence, the Trust is also<br />
using this significant landmark as the reason to engage with all<br />
audiences, to ensure another 50 years of success for the Trust.<br />
Durrell has achieved so much. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. With<br />
the planet’s biodiversity in peril, what we all do to contribute to the earth’s<br />
health and wellbeing, including the protection and maintenance of vital species<br />
worldwide, will be critical.<br />
Therefore, Durrell’s 50th birthday message is loud and clear – “It’s Time”.<br />
It’s time to take action<br />
It’s time to make a difference<br />
It’s time to invest<br />
Durrell Day<br />
It’s time to work with Durrell<br />
Durrell Wildlife has teamed up with Jersey Tourism and<br />
It’s time to consider the future<br />
Appleby to throw open the doors to our headquarters<br />
in <strong>July</strong>, welcoming everyone to celebrate Durrell’s 50th<br />
It’s time, because time is running out!<br />
anniversary year.<br />
Durrell Day, on Sunday 12th <strong>July</strong>, is set to be one of<br />
the highlights of the summer, as the Trust looks to thank<br />
Jersey residents for their passionate support over the<br />
past 50 years, enabling Durrell to continue to work to<br />
save species from extinction. The wildlife park<br />
will be divided into four zones for the day:<br />
Jersey, Durrell Memorabilia, Conservation<br />
and Corfu Zones, enabling visitors to enjoy<br />
new experiences as well as the wide variety of<br />
animals and stunning grounds.<br />
Exciting activities for the day include den<br />
building, a Genuine Jersey fair, walks and talks<br />
with Durrell experts, a memorabilia exhibition and<br />
Greek themed food and drink in celebration of<br />
Gerald Durrell’s childhood home, Corfu.

Areas of natural interest<br />
La Lande de Ouest<br />
Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs along<br />
the greater part of the south-west coast. A designated<br />
Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora and fauna,<br />
this area is an important part of the island’s landscape and<br />
biodiversity. A great area for walking and birdwatching.<br />
Le Noir Pré<br />
Often known simply as “The Orchid Field”, this unique<br />
site actually consists of two distinct but adjoining<br />
wet meadows, Le Noir Pré, and the smaller Le Clos<br />
du Seigneur. The site is one of the last remaining<br />
strongholds of the Jersey Orchid or loose-flowered<br />
Orchid (Orchis laxiflora). During May and June, the two<br />
meadows are a riot of colour.<br />
Les Blanches Banques<br />
The sand dune system at the southern end of St Ouen’s<br />
Bay is recognised as an SSI and more than 400 plant<br />
species have been recorded here. It also provides home<br />
to the super Jersey Green Lizard.<br />
Enjoy<br />
nature<br />
Les Landes<br />
This coastal heathland is the most spectacular aspect of<br />
Jersey’s wild environments. Les Landes is Jersey’s largest<br />
single expanse of maritime heathland covering<br />
160 hectares and bound by 3km of high granite cliffs.<br />
Portelet Common<br />
With a mixture of dramatic sea<br />
views and a habitat typical of an<br />
area subjected to the prevailing<br />
south-westerly wind, the common<br />
has thick gorse cover, dwarf<br />
shrub heathland and lichen-rich<br />
grassland. Peaking at sixty one<br />
metres above sea level and covering thirty one<br />
hectares, this scenery is not to be missed.<br />
Ramsar Sites<br />
These are areas listed on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of<br />
International Importance which concerns the conservation<br />
and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has<br />
four! These magnificent sites are; the South-East Coast of<br />
Jersey, Les Minquiers, Les Écréhous and Les Dirouilles, and<br />
Les Pierres de Lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly<br />
unique and well worth a visit; however, three of these sites<br />
are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the<br />
“Activities” section for operators who can take you on a<br />
short boat trip to see these sites. The South Coast area can<br />
be walked around and guided walks are available (contact<br />
Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”). Important! If<br />
you wish to walk around the area independently please<br />
seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you can<br />
become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is<br />
essential. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if necessary<br />
but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking”<br />
on page 45.<br />
Reservoirs<br />
There are several reservoirs within the island which can<br />
be walked around. These include Queen’s Valley and Val<br />
de la Mare. Other reservoirs include Millbrook, Grands<br />
Vaux, Handois, Mourier Valley and Dannemarche.<br />
St Catherine’s Woods<br />
Also known as Rozel<br />
Woods, this woodland is<br />
set in a deep-cut, steepsided<br />
valley. A stream<br />
running through the valley<br />
floor has helped develop<br />
a wide-range of habitats<br />
within the woodland.<br />
St Ouen’s Pond<br />
(La Mare au Seigneur)<br />
Probably the most significant wetland in Jersey, it is a<br />
dedicated nature reserve with open water, reed beds<br />
and a marshy perimeter providing habitats for fish,<br />
insects, flowers and birds, including the Marsh Harrier<br />
which can often be seen gliding above the pond.<br />

Beach Lifeguards in Jersey<br />
Parking<br />
Beaches to<br />
choose from<br />
A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red<br />
and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red<br />
flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in<br />
the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise<br />
swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask. The beaches patrolled are: St Ouen’s Bay, St Brelade’s Bay, Grève de<br />
Lecq, Plémont and Havre des Pas.<br />

we are now the only sit down fish and chip shop on<br />
the island. Our family run shop is fully licensed, has<br />
56 booth seats and offers a range of meals from<br />
favourites such as cod and haddock to the more<br />
exotic salmon or king prawns in filo pastry. Don’t<br />
worry meat lovers we also serve burgers, steaks and<br />
spare ribs too. Hector’s prides itself on fresh products<br />
so all the fish and every potato is cut on the premises.<br />

When you want a takeaway that’s<br />
a cut above your average chop<br />
suey, head to the Mandarin Room.<br />
Helen Wong and her chef husband Kenny are keen<br />
advocates of local produce, and this translates into<br />
a contemporary take on classic Chinese recipes<br />
using the best Jersey produce and seafood. Try the<br />
gourmet dim sum for a real treat or a steaming bowl<br />
of won ton soup, and follow it up with one of the<br />
Mandarin Room’s famous dishes – the chilli beef<br />
perhaps, or the Kung Po chicken. Another of the<br />
Mandarin’s specialities is the noodle menu, especially<br />
their Japanese-style Udon noodle dishes. Meals are<br />
served in generous portions, and taste freshly-made.<br />
