Welcome

to island life

We locals live life with gusto – the essence of joie de vivre has woven its way through the indomitable British

spirit and 800 years of independence to form an island with a character all its own. Fascinating and uniquely

Jersey, our long association with France and Britain have moulded the landscape, people, history and culture.

Discover rugged coastline, towering cliffs and sandy beaches teeming with flora and fauna – all just a stone’s

throw from the lush rural interior where our world-class produce is lovingly nurtured before finding its way to

your plate. Be it Michelin-starred dining or a fresh crab sandwich in one of our typical beach cafes, every

mouthful bursts with flavour and freshness.

Neolithic stones older than the pyramids stand shoulder to shoulder with Medieval castles and the imposing

reminders of our recent history. Present day St Helier is a thriving and cosmopolitan hub offering all of the cuttingedge

pleasures of short-break luxury. And, just to add to your agenda, each year a wealth of festivals and

events take place, celebrating every aspect of what makes Jersey so special.

Whatever your reason for visiting; relax, re-charge, discover.

Live the life.

Areas of natural interest

La Lande de Ouest

Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs

along the greater part of the south-west coast. A

designated Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora

and fauna, this area is an important part of the island’s

landscape, and biodiversity. A great area for walking and

bird watching.

Le Noir Pré

Often known simply as “The Orchid Field”, this unique site

actually consists of two distinct but adjoining wet

meadows. Le Noir Pré, and the smaller Le Clos du Seigneur.

The site is one of the last remaining strongholds of the

Jersey Orchid or loose-flowered Orchid (Orchis Laxiflora).

Orchid flowering season May and June.

Le Blanches Banques

The sand dune system at the southern end of St Ouen’s

Bay is recognised as an SSI and more than 400 plant

species have been recorded here. It also provides home

to the Jersey Green Lizard.

Les Landes

This coastal heathland is the most spectacular aspect of

Jersey’s wild environments. Les Landes is Jersey’s largest

single expanse of maritime heathland covering 160

hectares and bound by 3 km of high granite cliffs.

Portelet Common

With a mixture of dramatic sea views and a habitat typical

of an area subjected to the prevailing south-westerly wind,

the common has thick gorse cover, dwarf shrub heathland

and lichen-rich grassland. Peaking at one sixty one metres

above sea level and covering thirty one hectares this

scenery is not to be missed.

Ramsar Sites

These are areas listed on the Ramstar List of Wetland’s of

International Importance which concerns the conservation

and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has

four! These magnificent sites are; the south-east coast of

Jersey, le Minquiers, Les Ecréhous, and Les Dirouilles, and

Les Pierres de Lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are

truly unique and worth a visit; however, three of these

sites are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check

out the “Activities” section of the operators who can take

you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south coast

area can be walked around and guided walks are available

(contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”). Important!

If you wish to walk around the area independently

please seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you

can become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the

tides is essentially. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if

necessary but recommends that you employ a guide. See

“Walking” section of this guide.

Reservoirs

There are several reservoirs within the island which can be

walked around. These include Queen’s Valley and Val de la

Mare. Other reservoirs include Millbrook, Grands Vaux,

Handois, Mourier Valley and Dannemarche.

St Catherine’s Woods

Also known as Rozel Woods, this woodland is set in a

deep-cut, steep-sided valley. A stream running through

the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of

habitats within the woodland.

St Ouen’s Pond (La Mare au Seigneur).

Probably the most significant wetland in Jersey, it is a

dedicated nature reserve with open water, reed beds and a

marshy perimeter providing habitats for fish, insects,

flowers and birds, including the Marsh Harrier which can

often be seen gliding above the pond.

Beach Lifeguards in Jersey

A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red

and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red

flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows

in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to

advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.

Jersey’s

Garden Treasure

Everyone loves a garden! Whether you are a novice,

an experienced enthusiast or simply an armchair

gardener, you will find lots to interest you in Samarès

Manor’s richly planted gardens; they contain a

multitude of environmental conditions and design

styles and are aptly set in the tranquil grounds of one

of Jersey’s foremost stately homes.

Originally created in the 1920s by millionaire

shipping magnate and philanthropist, Sir James

Knott, the gardens have, in recent years, seen

signi�cant developments and the introduction of

major new areas of planting. The exuberant exotics

garden, the Mediterranean style drought garden, the

rose and lavender garden and conservation areas are

good examples. This strategy takes the gardens

further down the road to creating Jersey’s Kew.

However, much of the original design still remains

including the Japanese Garden, built using limestone

from the north of England, numerous ponds, islands,

water gardens and camellia plantations.

Samarés Manor’s Herb Garden

Take a bird’s eye view of Samarès Manor’s spectacular

walled herb garden, one of the most comprehensive

in Europe. The viewing platform, high above the

walls, adds an extra dimension to this unique

collection of herbs. The formal planting scheme is the

work of internationally renowned garden designer,

John Brookes. The garden is a venue for popular talks

on herbs and their uses.

Many of the culinary herbs are used in the Herb

Garden Café, adding flavour and attractive garnish to

delicious home-made dishes. The chef’s garden is an

exceptionally fertile area where culinary delicacies

are grown.

Education and Family

Learn about the wildlife and plants that abound at

Samarès with the family nature quiz or explore the

living willow labyrinth, the jungle path and

woodland walks. Those interested in history and

heritage can tour the manor house or visit the Rural

Life and Carriage Museum.

The Gardens of Samarès Manor are open to the

public, April 9th to October 15th.
