Wire - Exhibition<br />

An exhibition of artwork and artefacts<br />

made by those deported whilst in their<br />

internment camps, including items<br />

recycled from Red Cross parcels, such as<br />

the cardboard, the string, the cellophane<br />

packing material, the tins themselves and<br />

the wooden parcel crates. These were all<br />

turned into a variety of objects. Unless<br />

we tell the story while the last of these<br />

deportees are alive all the unique,<br />

moving and sometimes beautiful stories<br />

would be lost, as would all of the<br />

personal collections in people's attics -<br />

crucially, these items tell the story of<br />

internment. They speak of the<br />

experience of deportation and<br />

internment of these 2,200 people<br />

deported from the Channel Islands<br />

during World War II.<br />

The Queen by Chris Levine<br />

This year <strong>Jersey</strong> Heritage joins the<br />

Island's Jubilee celebrations with an<br />

exhibition called The Queen by Chris<br />

Levine. Well known in England for his<br />

striking holographic portraits and<br />

abstractions, in 2004 Chris Levine was<br />

commissioned to make a portrait of the<br />

Queen as part of <strong>Jersey</strong>'s<br />

celebrations of its 800-year old<br />

relationship with the monarchy. The<br />

resulting pictures – both traditional and<br />

lenticular - have revolutionized the art of<br />

royal portraiture, taking it into a visual,<br />

technological, and psychological realm<br />

never before attempted. The Queen by<br />

Chris Levine is a display of some of those<br />

images and 3-D data sets of Her<br />

Majesty.<br />

The Curious Incident of<br />

the Dog in the Night<br />

Mark Haddon’s celebrated multiaward-winning<br />

novel is beautifully and<br />

seven minutes after midnight and<br />

Christopher is under suspicion. He<br />

records each fact in his book to solve<br />

the mystery. He has an extraordinary<br />

brain, exceptional at maths but illequipped<br />

to interpret everyday life. He<br />

has never ventured alone beyond the<br />

touched and he distrusts strangers.<br />

But his detective work, forbidden by<br />

his father, takes him on a frightening<br />

journey that upturns his world.<br />

An exhibition of artwork and artefacts<br />

made by those deported whilst in their<br />

internment camps, including items<br />

recycled from Red Cross parcels, such as<br />

the cardboard, the string, the cellophane<br />

packing material, the tins themselves and<br />

the wooden parcel crates. These were all<br />

turned into a variety of objects. Unless<br />

we tell the story while the last of these<br />

deportees are alive all the unique,<br />

moving and sometimes beautiful stories<br />

would be lost, as would all of the<br />

personal collections in people's attics -<br />

crucially, these items tell the story of<br />

internment. They speak of the<br />

experience of deportation and<br />

internment of these 2,200 people<br />

deported from the Channel Islands<br />

during World War II.<br />

The Queen by Chris Levine<br />

This year <strong>Jersey</strong> Heritage joins the<br />

Island's Jubilee celebrations with an<br />

exhibition called The Queen by Chris<br />

Levine. Well known in England for his<br />

striking holographic portraits and<br />

abstractions, in 2004 Chris Levine was<br />

commissioned to make a portrait of the<br />

Queen as part of <strong>Jersey</strong>'s<br />

celebrations of its 800-year old<br />

relationship with the monarchy. The<br />

resulting pictures – both traditional and<br />

lenticular - have revolutionized the art of<br />

royal portraiture, taking it into a visual,<br />

technological, and psychological realm<br />

never before attempted. The Queen by<br />

Chris Levine is a display of some of those<br />

images and 3-D data sets of Her<br />

Majesty.<br />

Stepping Out<br />

with the<br />

National Trust for <strong>Jersey</strong> -<br />

Birds on the edge<br />

The cliff tops along the Island’s north<br />

coast are amongst the most<br />

spectacular scenery in the Channel<br />

Islands. These rugged cliffs are home to<br />

seabirds at their base as well as<br />

songbirds inhabiting the land at their<br />

tops. Sadly, following the abandonment<br />

of farming along much of this wild area,<br />

the diversity of wildlife has dramatically<br />

decreased. Join Dr. Glyn Young,<br />

Conservation Biologist at Durrell, to<br />

walk along the cliff path to see those<br />

birds that survive and learn about<br />

exciting plans to restore the area and<br />

return the formerly resident Red-billed<br />

chough.<br />

Walk with the stars at<br />

your feet<br />

As night descends and the ocean<br />

recedes, star like shapes of luminous<br />

green (bio-luminescence) begin to<br />

twinkle and sparkle in a few special<br />

spots off the south east coast. Expect<br />

to get your feet wet -maybe up to the<br />

knees- as you discover and<br />

experience the uniqueness of this area.<br />

Areas of Natural Interest<br />

La Lande de Ouest<br />

Part of the dry coastal heathland lying<br />

above the cliffs along the greater part of<br />

the south-west coast. A designated Site<br />

of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora<br />

and fauna, this area is an important part<br />

of theisland’s landscape, and biodiversity.<br />

A great area for walking and bird watching.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Le Noir Pré<br />

Often known simply as “The Orchid<br />

Field”, this unique site actually consists<br />

of two distinct but adjoining wet<br />

meadows. Le Noir Pré and the smaller<br />

Le Clos du Seigneur. The site is one of<br />

the last remaining strongholds of the<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Orchid or loose-flowered<br />

Orchid (Orchis Laxiflora). Orchid<br />

flowering season May and June.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Le Blanches Banques<br />

The sand dune system at the southern<br />

end of St Ouen’s Bay is recognised as<br />

an SSI and more than 400 plantspecies<br />

have been recorded here. It also provides<br />

home to the super <strong>Jersey</strong> Green Lizard.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Les Landes<br />

This coastal heathland is the most<br />

spectacular aspect of <strong>Jersey</strong>’s wild<br />

environments. Les Landes is <strong>Jersey</strong>’s<br />

largest single expanse of maritime<br />

heathland covering 160 hectares and<br />

bound by 3 km of high granite cliffs.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Portelet Common<br />

With a mixture of dramatic sea views and<br />

a habitat typical of an area subjected to<br />

the prevailing south-westerly wind, the<br />

common has thick gorse cover, dwarf<br />

shrub heathland and lichen-rich grassland.<br />

Peaking at one sixty one metres above<br />

sea level and covering thirty one<br />

hectares this scenery is not to be missed.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Ramsar Sites<br />

These are areas listed on the Ramstar<br />

List of Westland’s of International<br />

Importance which concerns the<br />

conservation and wise use of wetlands<br />

and their resources. <strong>Jersey</strong> has four!<br />

These magnificent sites are; the<br />

south-east coast of <strong>Jersey</strong>, Le<br />

Minquiers, Les Ècréhous, and Les<br />

Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de lecq (The<br />

Paternosters). These sites are truly<br />

unique and worth a visit; however,<br />

three of these sites are offshore reefs<br />

and require a trip by boat. Check out<br />

the “Activities” section of the<br />

operators who can take you on a short<br />

boat trip to see these sites. The south<br />

coast area can be walked around and<br />

guided walks are available (contact<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Walk Adventures – see<br />

“Activities”). Important! If you wish to<br />

walk around the area independently<br />

please seek advice first as the tide rises<br />

rapidly and you can become stranded if<br />

unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is<br />

essentially. <strong>Jersey</strong> Tourism can provide<br />

advice if necessary but recommends<br />

that you employ a guide. See “Walking”<br />

section of this guide.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

Reservoirs<br />

There are several reservoirs within<br />

the island which can be walked<br />

around. These include Queen’s Valley<br />

and Val de la Mare. Other reservoirs<br />

include Millbrook, Grands Vaux,<br />

Handois, Mourier Valley and<br />

Dannemarche.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

St Catherine’s Woods<br />

Also known as Rozel Woods, this<br />

woodland is set in a deep-cut,<br />

steep-sided valley. A stream running<br />

through the valley floor has helped<br />

develop a wide range of habitats<br />

within the woodland.<br />

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––<br />

St Ouen’s Pond<br />

(La Mare au Seigneur).<br />

Probably the most significant wetland<br />

in <strong>Jersey</strong>, it is a dedicated nature<br />

reserve with open water, reed beds<br />

and a marshy perimeter providing<br />

habitats for fish, insects, flowers and<br />

birds, including the Marsh Harrier<br />

which can often be seen gliding<br />

above the pond.<br />

castle in the 1590s and it was<br />

home to Sir Walter Raleigh while<br />

he was Governor of <strong>Jersey</strong> and<br />

the future King Charles II sought<br />

refuge at Elizabeth Castle during<br />

the English Civil War. During the<br />

German Occupation the castle<br />

was refortified and used as one of<br />

the stongpoints commanding the<br />

sea approaches to St Helier. Climb<br />

the battlements, explore the<br />

turrets and bunkers and discover<br />

the Hermitage where St Helier is<br />

thought to have lived around 500<br />

A.D. Visit the exhibitions which<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong>’s<br />

Garden Treasure<br />

Everyone loves a garden! Whether you are a novice,<br />

an experienced enthusiast or simply an armchair<br />

gardener, you will find lots to interest you in Samarès<br />

Manor’s richly planted gardens; they contain a<br />

multitude of environmental conditions and design<br />

styles and are aptly set in the tranquil grounds of one<br />

of <strong>Jersey</strong>’s foremost stately homes.<br />

Originally created in the 1920s by millionaire<br />

shipping magnate and philanthropist, Sir James<br />

Knott, the gardens have, in recent years, seen<br />

significant developments and the introduction of<br />

major new areas of planting. The exuberant exotics<br />

garden, the Mediterranean style drought garden, the<br />

rose and lavender garden and conservation areas are<br />

good examples. This strategy takes the gardens<br />

further down the road to creating <strong>Jersey</strong>’s Kew.<br />

However, much of the original design still remains<br />

including the Japanese Garden, built using limestone<br />

from the north of England, numerous ponds, islands,<br />

water gardens and camellia plantations.<br />

Many of the culinary herbs are used in the Herb<br />

Garden Café, adding flavour and attractive garnish to<br />

delicious home-made dishes. The chef’s garden is an<br />

exceptionally fertile area where culinary delicacies<br />

are grown.<br />

Education and Family<br />

Learn about the wildlife and plants that abound at<br />

Samarès with the family nature quiz or explore the<br />

living willow labyrinth, the jungle path and<br />

woodland walks. Those interested in history and<br />

heritage can tour the manor house or visit the Rural<br />

Life and Carriage Museum.<br />

Samarés Manor’s Herb Garden<br />

Take a bird’s eye view of Samarès Manor’s spectacular<br />

walled herb garden, one of the most comprehensive<br />

in Europe. The viewing platform, high above the<br />

walls, adds an extra dimension to this unique<br />

collection of herbs. The formal planting scheme is the<br />

work of internationally renowned garden designer,<br />

John Brookes. The garden is a venue for popular talks<br />

on herbs and their uses.<br />

The Gardens of Samarès Manor are open to the<br />

public, April 7th to <strong>October</strong> 13th.

<strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl<br />

The Pearl<br />

Experts<br />

Since the <strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl family started the business<br />

27 years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge<br />

developments both in terms of its levels of production,<br />

as well as the styles and colours now available on the<br />

market.<br />

Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels, are<br />

naturally found in shades ranging from warm white<br />

through to blush pink and<br />

pale purple, nowadays<br />

however these natural gems<br />

are also being dyed after<br />

harvesting to create the most<br />

fantastic range of rainbow<br />

colours, from peppermint<br />

green and midnight blue<br />

through to hot fuchsia pink<br />

and honey yellow.<br />

Within the last decade there<br />

has also been expansion<br />

within the shape of the<br />

freshwater pearl- traditionally<br />

round, oval or pear-drop<br />

shape, the farms in China,<br />

where the majority of the<br />

Freshwater pearls are grown,<br />

are now able to create<br />

irregular and unusual shaped<br />

pearls such as the Keshi<br />

pearl - which is commonly<br />

described as the cornflake<br />

pearl as well as the Biwa pearl,<br />

a delicate and elegant long<br />

stick shape.<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl has always worked very closely with their<br />

suppliersallaroundtheworld,makingsurethatitisonly<br />

the highest quality pearls that reach the shop floor.<br />

As well as sourcing pearls directly<br />

from the Pearl farms in the Far East,<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl also has an<br />

in-house design team that are<br />

regularly working on new designs<br />

and collections.<br />

To celebrate their 25th<br />

anniversary three new<br />

collections were introduced in<br />

the range for 2010. The Lily Collection -<br />

delicate rose ehite freshwater pearls<br />

have been used to create this<br />

elegant and feminine range.<br />

The Alice Collection - working with<br />

the ever-popular natural coloured<br />

freshwater button pearls, this collection set on silver is<br />

ideally suited for those looking to start their love affair<br />

with pearls!<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl also introduced their Freshwater Pearl<br />

Charm Collection - using the <strong>Jersey</strong> shoreline as<br />

inspiration, this collection was exclusively design for<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Pearl and has charms ranging from beautifully<br />

crafted lobster, starfish and oyster shell designs to a<br />

map of <strong>Jersey</strong> - the perfect memento of a visit to our<br />

wonderful island.<br />

History of Gold<br />

Since the beginning of civilisation man has<br />

placed great value upon gold. Over the centuries<br />

it has taken many forms, from gold nuggets,<br />

ingots and coins, even as far back as 4,000BC<br />

to the Egyptians using it to adorn themselves<br />

and decorate the tombs and temples of the<br />

Egyptian empire.<br />

Gold mining countries are mainly Australia,<br />

U.S.A, China, Peru and Russia, but the world<br />

leaders are South Africa. They have been<br />

mining in this region for over 100 years,<br />

although the largest gold nugget was discovered<br />

in Australia in 1869 weighing a massive<br />

72 kilograms, a replica is now displayed at<br />

<strong>Jersey</strong> Goldsmiths.<br />

The founder’s grand-daughter Julia Williams,<br />

now manager at <strong>Jersey</strong> Goldsmiths, says<br />

“We have, over the years, welcomed 7.5 million<br />

visitors to <strong>Jersey</strong> Goldsmiths and I feel that<br />

we are ambassadors for <strong>Jersey</strong>. Our visitors<br />

leave with a beautiful piece of <strong>Jersey</strong> jewellery<br />

and a keepsake of their holiday which is very<br />

special to me.”<br />

In the last 25 years we have sold 3,484,500<br />

inches of chain which is 217,787 necklaces - the<br />

equivalent or 55 miles of chain, more than the<br />

length of <strong>Jersey</strong>’s coastline.<br />

WE ARE OPEN<br />

7 days a week from<br />

9.30am - 5.30pm<br />

“We have such an exciting year<br />

ahead and look forward to seeing<br />

all our visitors in <strong>2012</strong>”<br />

Julia Williams, Manager

winning restaurant and bar, are well known for their<br />

excellent quality food at affordable prices and superb<br />

service.<br />

The Restaurant is calm and inviting, with unusual art<br />

adding a fun vibe. You’ll find a real mix of customers and<br />

the staff are incredibly efficient and friendly. THE INN has<br />

some of the best Chefs in <strong>Jersey</strong>, who will prepare for<br />

you fresh locally caught fish, tender steaks and house<br />

specialities - loads to choose from.<br />

THE INN’s Bar has a great range of wines and real ales,<br />

as well as serving food like <strong>Jersey</strong>’s biggest homemade<br />

burger or fresh pizzas, and the Live music nights on<br />

Fridays with free tapas are a real treat.<br />

Another place popular with locals as you explore the<br />

Island is the Seymour Inn in Grouville, a traditional <strong>Jersey</strong><br />

pub with a warm welcome and great pub grub. The<br />

menu has lots of choice including, unsurprisingly being<br />

surrounded by sea, plenty of delicious fish dishes. The<br />

oysters come from right across the road and you can<br />

even see the oyster beds! The menu has four different<br />

ways to enjoy them – a must!<br />

In Summer the al fresco areas are perfect to enjoy the<br />

beach views with a chilled glass of wine or a pint of real<br />

ale and a tasty bite to eat.<br />

Two <strong>Jersey</strong> gems, both with excellent food and friendly<br />

service, THE INN and the Seymour Inn won’t disappoint.<br />

A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of<br />

areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying<br />

the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. <strong>Jersey</strong> has some of<br />

the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the<br />

seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers<br />

regarding beach safety, please ask.<br />
