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<br />
and uniquely Jersey, our long association with France and Britain have moulded the landscape, people,<br />
history 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<br />
typical beach cafés, 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 />

Jersey War Tunnels<br />
New experiences at Jersey War Tunnels to mark the 65th Anniversary of Liberation<br />
Jersey War Tunnels is a permanent<br />
reminder of the five dark years of<br />
German Occupation, detailing a true<br />
and accurate account of the period<br />
through the experiences of the people<br />
who were there.<br />
New galleries for <strong>2010</strong><br />
In addition to the ‘Captive Island’<br />
exhibition the tunnel complex, formerly<br />
known as Höhlgangsanlage 8 (Ho8),<br />
now plays host to two new experiences<br />
which look at the Occupation in a new<br />
light, paying particular attention to the<br />
plight of individuals by detailing how<br />
decisions made by the Island, UK and<br />
German administrations drastically<br />
affected the course of this period for<br />
the residents struggling to come to<br />
terms with the adverse conditions<br />
of Occupation.<br />
‘Co-operation and Resistance’ is a<br />
hard-hitting experience that focuses<br />
the mind on the countless moral<br />
dilemmas faced. You are placed in the<br />
shoes of Islanders and politicians as<br />
you are asked to make up your own<br />
mind about the decisions, views and<br />
perceptions that could carry<br />
devastating consequences.<br />
‘Liberation’ begins by immersing the<br />
visitor into the desperation and<br />
confusion of the last months of<br />
Occupation, being followed by the<br />
exhilaration and majesty of Liberation<br />
Day on 9 May 1945, particularly<br />
pertinent this year as the Island<br />
celebrates the 65th Anniversary. Moving<br />
out of this gallery the visitor is then taken<br />
into a reflective space detailing the days<br />
and months after Liberation as Islanders<br />
began to piece together the lives that<br />
they had left behind five years previously.<br />
The tunnel complex of Ho8, which took<br />
almost three years to build, was<br />
designed as an armaments workshop<br />
and bomb proof barracks. It was<br />
excavated by forced and slave labourers<br />
from all over Europe, some of whom died<br />
from the terrible hardship they were<br />
made to endure.<br />
Towards the end of 1943, amid fears of<br />
an Allied invasion of Europe, Ho8 was<br />
converted into a casualty receiving<br />
station or underground hospital; its<br />
rooms were transformed into wards to<br />
accommodate up to 500 casualties and<br />
included a fully equipped operating<br />
theatre. The invasion never occurred, so<br />
the tunnel complex was never used for<br />
this purpose.<br />
Jersey War Tunnels is more than<br />
a chronicle of life under occupation.<br />
Above the tunnels, the evocative<br />
landscape of the Garden of Reflection is<br />
a permanent reminder of the Jersey men<br />
and women who died as a direct<br />
consequence of the Occupation;<br />
each person is commemorated by<br />
a steel plaque set into the lawns<br />
and flower-beds.<br />
Adjacent to Ho8 is the War Trail,<br />
a series of pathways through an antiaircraft<br />
battery which was strategically<br />
located to protect the eastern approach<br />
to the airport. You can walk amongst the<br />
crawl trenches, troop shelters and gun<br />
positions that formed the perimeter<br />
defences of this unique site.<br />
The Garden of Reflection and War Trail<br />
are free to visit along with the Visitor<br />
Centre, which contains the Shop and<br />
the Café.<br />
Complementing the Garden of<br />
Reflection is a sculpture by<br />
internationally renowned artist, Paul de<br />
Monchaux. Entitled ‘Silence’, it was<br />
commissioned to commemorate the<br />
suffering endured by forced and slave<br />
labourers who worked on the<br />
construction of the Ho8 complex and<br />
serves as a powerful reminder of the<br />
German Occupation of Jersey.<br />
To further enhance your visit, Jersey War<br />
Tunnels now offer audio guide tours, the<br />
first of their kind in Jersey. The key<br />
feature of the handheld audio devices,<br />
which are available in English, French<br />
and German, are the interactive buttons<br />
that allow users to make a series of<br />
ethical judgments as they walk around,<br />
putting themselves in the shoes of those<br />
Occupied and forced to make a number<br />
of life changing decisions. Jersey War<br />
Tunnels is a unique attraction that helps<br />
you get to the heart of the island’s<br />
wartime experience and learn about the<br />
true story of the Occupation.<br />

Jersey Pearl<br />
Celebrating<br />
25 Years<br />
On the 5th May 1985, Jersey Pearl<br />
opened its doors to the world.<br />
Since the Jersey Pearl family started the business 25<br />
years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge<br />
developments both in terms of its levels of<br />
production, as well as the styles and colours now<br />
available on the market.<br />
Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels,<br />
are naturally found in shades ranging from warm<br />
white through to blush pink<br />
and pale purple, nowadays<br />
however these natural gems<br />
are also being dyed after<br />
harvesting to create the<br />
most fantastic range of<br />
rainbow colours, from<br />
peppermint green and<br />
midnight blue through<br />
to hot fuchsia pink<br />
and honey yellow.<br />
Within the last<br />
decade there has<br />
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<br />
shaped pearls such as the<br />
Keshi pearl - which is<br />
commonly described as the<br />
cornflake pearl as well as the<br />
Biwa pearl, a delicate and<br />
elegant long stick shape.<br />
Jersey Pearl has always worked very closely with their<br />
suppliers all around the world, making sure that it is<br />
only the highest quality pearls that reach the shop<br />
floor.<br />
The Alice Collection - working with<br />
the ever-popular natural coloured<br />
freshwater button pearls, this<br />
collection set on silver is ideally<br />
suited for those looking to start their<br />
love affair with pearls!<br />
To celebrate Jersey Pearl’s 25th<br />
anniversary, the Jersey Pearl team<br />
are proud to introduce three<br />
new collections to the range<br />
for <strong>2010</strong>. The Lily Collection -<br />
delicate rose white freshwater<br />
pearls have been used to<br />
create this elegant and<br />
feminine range.<br />
Jersey Pearl are also pleased to introduce their <strong>2010</strong><br />
Freshwater Pearl Charm Collection - using the Jersey<br />
shoreline as inspiration, this collection has been<br />
exclusively design for Jersey Pearl and has charms<br />
ranging from beautifully crafted lobster, starfish and<br />
oyster shell designs to a map of Jersey - the perfect<br />
memento of a visit to our wonderful island.<br />

Price: For further details please contact Kes Douglas direct<br />
Working with birds of prey for the past 20 years, Kes<br />
Douglas specialises in educational and recreational<br />
programmes based around his relationship of trust<br />
and respect with the birds. For individuals, families and<br />
groups it is a great opportunity to see these magnificent<br />
birds up close in a relaxed atmosphere.<br />
Areas of natural interest<br />
La Lande de Ouest<br />
Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs<br />
along the greater part of the south-west coast. A<br />
designated Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora<br />
and fauna, this area is an important part of the island’s<br />
landscape and biodiversity. A great area for walking and<br />
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). Orchid flowering season May<br />
and June.<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 />
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 160<br />
hectares and bound by 3km of high granite cliffs.<br />
Portelet Common<br />
With a mixture of dramatic sea views and a habitat<br />
typical of an area subjected to the prevailing southwesterly<br />
wind, the common has thick gorse cover, dwarf<br />
shrub heathland and lichen-rich grassland. Peaking at<br />
sixty one 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<br />
of International Importance which concerns the<br />
conservation and wise use of wetlands and their<br />
resources. Jersey has four! These magnificent sites<br />
are; the south-east coast of Jersey, Les Minquiers, Les<br />
Écréhous and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de Lecq<br />
(The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and<br />
well worth a visit; however, three of these sites are<br />
offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out<br />
the “Activities” section for operators who can take<br />
you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south<br />
coast area can be walked around and guided walks<br />
are available (contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see<br />
“Activities”). Important! If you wish to walk around the<br />
area independently please seek advice first as the tide<br />
rises rapidly and you can become stranded if unprepared.<br />
Knowledge of the tides is essential. Jersey Tourism can<br />
provide advice if necessary but recommends that you<br />
employ a guide. See “Walking” section of this guide.<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 Woods, this woodland is set in a<br />
deep-cut, steep-sided valley. A stream running through<br />
the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of<br />
habitats 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 and<br />
a marshy perimeter providing habitats for fish, insects,<br />
flowers and birds, including the Marsh Harrier which can<br />
often be seen gliding above the pond.<br />

…STARS FEATURING IN THE JERSEY STORY
Catherine Best is an awardwinning<br />
jewellery designer<br />
who is celebrated worldwide<br />
for her glittering creations.<br />
Her blend of traditional<br />
workmanship and fashionforward<br />
designs are part of<br />
her success.<br />
“Modern narratives are at the heart of my work. It’s the story that<br />
inspires me - the story of the gems and how they combine with<br />
precious metals.<br />
I’ve been hand-drawing original designs for over 20 years and I still get<br />
excited. It’s the combination of quality materials, original design and<br />
craftsmanship that makes our jewellery so special.<br />
My work has evolved, which has resulted in sophisticated, high-shine<br />
and sweeping contours in the <strong>2010</strong> collection. I’ve also been inspired<br />
by the softer beauty found in nature’s flora and fauna.<br />
I hope you enjoy the beauty of the stones I have hand-sourced - I feel<br />
my <strong>2010</strong> collection is the most innovative and stunning yet.”<br />

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