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 />

Hector’s Fish and Chip Restaurant and Takeaway is<br />

situated at Charing Cross opposite the Town Hall<br />

and Thomas Cook. Having been established in 1928<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 />

Paul and his team look forward to seeing you soon!<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 />
