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 at one of our 

typical beach cafés, 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 cutting-edge 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.

Liberation Day 

Sunday 9th May 

A key element of Jersey’s 

history is the Occupation 

during World War II: for 

nearly five years, Jersey 

was under German rule and,

Channel Islands, was the 

only part of the British Isles 

to be occupied. The Island of 

Jersey was liberated on May 

9th 1945. Join islanders as 

they celebrate the liberation with a wide range of events 

for local residents and visitors to enjoy, including walking 

tours, special events and open bunkers.

and diverse history. There 

are almost 40 walks to 

choose from, and nearly 

ALL of these walks 

are FREE. A separate programme is 

available. For more information call Jersey Tourism on 

01534 448877 or visit www.jersey.com/walking

Climate Change 

A Garden Challenge! 

The Gardens of Samarès Manor, created in the nineteen 

twenties by millionaire shipping magnate and 

philanthropist, Sir James Knott, have always offered 

exceptional environmental conditions for growing an 

extensive range of plants. Now, after substantial 

restoration, diversification and development in recent 

years, the onset of climate change brings with it further 

opportunities and challenges. 

The exotics border, for example, contains many frost 

sensitive, exuberant plants, whilst the Mediterranean 

style drought garden demonstrates colourful and 

stylish possibilities for long hot summers. The character 

and much of the original planting remains; the gardens 

of today are therefore very much a blend of traditional 

and innovative design styles. 

The Manor’s herbal extravaganza 

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 

Restaurant, adding flavour and attractive garnish to 

delicious home-made dishes. The southern section of 

the walled garden is devoted to roses and lavenders – 

they are both herbs by virtue of their fragrance. 

Family activities 

The gardens are popular with families and visitors of 

all ages: discover the Manor’s wildlife on the family 

nature hunt, or some of the rare and spectacular plants 

on the plant trail. Children love the willow labyrinth and 

those interested in history can tour the manor house 

and visit the Rural Life and Carriage Museum. 

The Gardens of Samarès Manor are open to the 

public, April 3rd to October 16th.

Add some sparkle to your visit 

Catherine Best’s stunning 

Windmill showroom 

Atlas 

Mexican boulder 

opal set in platinum 

and diamond 

A visit to Jersey is simply not complete 

without a trip to the inspiring showroom 

of international award-winning jeweller 

Catherine Best. 

Housed in the iconic Windmill in Les 

Chenolles, St. Peter, Catherine Best’s 

showroom features a world of collectable, 

limited edition, hand-made jewellery that 

has been delicately designed and crafted to 

individual perfection. 

The wide range on display means you can 

witness the beauty of pieces such as ‘Spirit,’ a 

dramatic, limited edition 2.01 carat diamond 

set in platinum, and browse rarer stones, such 

as the blues and purples of Tanzanite, the 

clear sky blues of Paraiba Tourmaline, and the 

greens of Peridot (which the great Cleopatra 

herself was said to prefer to Emeralds). 

Catherine’s work has caught the attention 

of international publications such as Tatler, 

Vogue, Hello, The Financial Times and The 

Times, as well as a host of worldwide awards. 

This year is a particularly good one to pay 

the Windmill showroom a visit. The latest 

collection of jewellery from Catherine Best 

is considered to be one of the finest in her 

career: Featuring innovative treatments of the 

staple diet of jewellers – Emeralds, Rubies, 

Sapphires – and masterful, ground-breaking 

work with stones and materials such as 

Tourmalines, Citrines and Opals. 

Catherine Best herself is an active designer, 

and is often seen in the Windmill studio 

talking about what inspires her world-famous 

jewellery. There is no substitute for seeing the 

glitter and sparkles of the jewellery in person, 

so make sure you spend some time at the 

Catherine Best showroom during your visit.

birds up close in a relaxed atmosphere. 

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 

birdwatching. 

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. 

Les 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 super 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 3km of high granite cliffs. 

Portelet Common 

With a mixture of dramatic sea views and a habitat 

typical of an area subjected to the prevailing southwesterly 

wind, the common has thick gorse cover, dwarf 

shrub heathland and lichen-rich grassland. Peaking at 

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 Ramsar List of Wetlands 

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, Les Minquiers, Les 

Écréhous and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de Lecq 

(The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and 

well worth a visit; however, three of these sites are 

offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out 

the “Activities” section for 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 essential. 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.

Jersey Pearl 

Celebrating 

25 Years 

On the 5th May 1985, Jersey Pearl 

opened its doors to the world. 

Since the Jersey Pearl family started the business 25 

years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge 

developments both in terms of its levels of 

production, as well as the styles and colours now 

available on the market. 

Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels, 

are naturally found in shades ranging from warm 

white through to blush pink 

and pale purple, nowadays 

however these natural gems 

are also being dyed after 

harvesting to create the 

most fantastic range of 

rainbow colours, from 

peppermint green and 

midnight blue through 

to hot fuchsia pink 

and honey yellow. 

Within the last 

decade there has 

also been expansion 

within the shape of the 

freshwater pearl- traditionally 

round, oval or pear-drop 

shape, the farms in China, 

where the majority of the 

Freshwater pearls are grown, 

are now able to create 

irregular and unusual 

shaped pearls such as the 

Keshi pearl - which is 

commonly described as the 

cornflake pearl as well as the 

Biwi pearl, a delicate and 

elegant long stick shape. 

Jersey Pearl has always worked very closely with their 

suppliers all around the world, making sure that it is 

only the highest quality pearls that reach the shop 

floor. 

The Alice Collection - working with 

the ever-popular natural coloured 

freshwater button pearls, this 

collection set on silver is ideally 

suited for those looking to start their 

love affair with pearls! 

To celebrate Jersey Pearl’s 25th 

anniversary, the Jersey Pearl team 

are proud to introduce three 

new collections to the range 

for 2010. The Lily Collection - 

delicate rose white freshwater 

pearls have been used to 

create this elegant and 

feminine range. 

Jersey Pearl are also pleased to introduce their 2010 

Freshwater Pearl Charm Collection - using the Jersey 

shoreline as inspiration, this collection has been 

exclusively design for Jersey Pearl and has charms 

ranging from beautifully crafted lobster, starfish and 

oyster shell designs to a map of Jersey - the perfect 

memento of a visit to our wonderful island.

Parking 

Beaches to 

choose from 

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. The beaches patrolled are: St Ouen’s Bay, St Brelade’s Bay, Grève de

New experiences at Jersey War Tunnels to mark the 65th Anniversary of Liberation 

Jersey War Tunnels is a permanent 

reminder of the five dark years of 

German Occupation, detailing a true 

and accurate account of the period 

through the experiences of the people 

who were there. 

New galleries for 2010 

In addition to the ‘Captive Island’ 

exhibition the tunnel complex, formerly 

known as Höhlgangsanlage 8 (Ho8), 

now plays host to two new experiences 

which look at the Occupation in a new 

light, paying particular attention to the 

plight of individuals by detailing how 

decisions made by the Island, UK and 

German administrations drastically 

affected the course of this period for 

the residents struggling to come to 

terms with the adverse conditions 

of Occupation. 

‘Co-operation and Resistance’ is a 

hard-hitting experience that focuses 

the mind on the countless moral 

dilemmas faced. You are placed in the 

shoes of Islanders and politicians as 

you are asked to make up your own 

mind about the decisions, views and 

perceptions that could carry 

devastating consequences. 

‘Liberation’ begins by immersing the 

visitor into the desperation and 

confusion of the last months of 

Occupation, being followed by the 

exhilaration and majesty of Liberation 

Day on 9 May 1945, particularly 

pertinent this year as the Island 

celebrates the 65th Anniversary. Moving 

out of this gallery the visitor is then taken 

into a reflective space detailing the days 

and months after Liberation as Islanders 

began to piece together the lives that 

they had left behind five years previously. 

The tunnel complex of Ho8, which took 

almost three years to build, was 

designed as an armaments workshop 

and bomb proof barracks. It was 

excavated by forced and slave labourers 

from all over Europe, some of whom died 

from the terrible hardship they were 

made to endure. 

Towards the end of 1943, amid fears of 

an Allied invasion of Europe, Ho8 was 

converted into a casualty receiving 

station or underground hospital; its 

rooms were transformed into wards to 

accommodate up to 500 casualties and 

included a fully equipped operating 

theatre. The invasion never occurred, so 

the tunnel complex was never used for 

this purpose. 

Jersey War Tunnels is more than 

a chronicle of life under occupation. 

Above the tunnels, the evocative 

landscape of the Garden of Reflection is 

a permanent reminder of the Jersey men 

and women who died as a direct 

consequence of the Occupation; 

each person is commemorated by 

a steel plaque set into the lawns 

and flower-beds. 

Adjacent to Ho8 is the War Trail, 

a series of pathways through an antiaircraft 

battery which was strategically 

located to protect the eastern approach 

to the airport. You can walk amongst the 

crawl trenches, troop shelters and gun 

positions that formed the perimeter 

defences of this unique site. 

The Garden of Reflection and War Trail 

are free to visit along with the Visitor 

Centre, which contains the Shop and 

the Café. 

Complementing the Garden of 

Reflection is a sculpture by 

internationally renowned artist, Paul de 

Monchaux. Entitled ‘Silence’, it was 

commissioned to commemorate the 

suffering endured by forced and slave 

labourers who worked on the 

construction of the Ho8 complex and 

serves as a powerful reminder of the 

German Occupation of Jersey. 

To further enhance your visit, Jersey War 

Tunnels now offer audio guide tours, the 

first of their kind in Jersey. The key 

feature of the handheld audio devices, 

which are available in English, French 

and German, are the interactive buttons 

that allow users to make a series of 

ethical judgments as they walk around, 

putting themselves in the shoes of those 

Occupied and forced to make a number 

of life changing decisions. Jersey War 

Tunnels is a unique attraction that helps 

you get to the heart of the island’s 

wartime experience and learn about the 

true story of the Occupation.
