Proudly British, but located just 14 miles from the coast of France, Jersey enjoys the almost unique position of offering a holiday that combines the familiarity of home with a distinctly European flavour. Despite not needing a passport to travel on your Jersey Holiday from the UK (although photographic identification is required) arrivals from Poole harbour drive off the high-speed ferry straight on to ‘La Route du Port Elizabeth’, one of many French language road names that may suggest you’ve found yourself in Brittany rather than on British shores.
Jersey is incredibly easy to explore on foot, with a wide range of diverse terrain within 45 square miles. The landscape varies from shaded woodland valleys, gorse-covered clifftop panoramas, quiet shrub-lined green lanes, twisting and turning reservoir ambles and long dramatic beach walks. If you pick the right walking route, you can experience most of these in just one day during your Jersey holiday.
2021 marks 30 years since beloved TV detective Bergerac left our screens, and since then Jersey has had few opportunities to shine in front of a wider audience. That all changed on 28th December 2020 with the launch of the Real Housewives of Jersey on ITVBe. The newest addition to the popular Real Housewives franchise follows 7 glamourous ‘ladies who lunch’ over one long and glorious summer in Jersey.
Imagine a family holiday without the stressful slog through an airport, where the luggage allowance has no limits and you can begin to relax and unwind just as soon as you’ve checked in. Travel to Jersey by sea with your car in 2021 and discover a new way to holiday.
With miles of untouched beaches, world-famous cows and a fascinating history that tells different tales from the rest of the UK, a visit to Jersey is guaranteed to give visitors a staycation with a difference. The beauty of making the short but sweet journey to Jersey is that you’ll find a familiar blend of home comforts mixed with the Island’s unique community, scenery and culture that give it its flare.
