Jersey

Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands between England and France, is a British Crown Dependency known for its beautiful beaches, historic castles, and unique blend of British and French cultures. Saint Helier, the capital, offers attractions like the Jersey Museum, which tells the island`s history, and the Central Market, renowned for its Victorian architecture and fresh local produce. Visit the iconic Mont Orgueil Castle, which has guarded Jersey`s coast for over 600 years, or explore the island`s war tunnels, a reminder of Jersey`s occupation during World War II. The island`s cuisine features fresh seafood, dairy from the famous Jersey cows, and locally grown produce, with dishes like Jersey Royal potatoes and bean crock, a traditional stew.
