Living in Jersey

Jersey lies in the Bay of Mont St Michel and is the largest of the Channel Islands. It has been an island for approximately 8,000 years.

Jersey has an amazing variety of terrain for walkers, a coastline ideally suited to water sports, and a network of country lanes perfect for cyclists, the great outdoors is exactly that in Jersey. The Island’s also home to world-renowned attractions like Durrell Wildlife, and spectacular events such as the Battle of Flowers Parade - sure to delight any visitor.

Jersey’s good living and fine food enjoys a glowing reputation the world over. The Island boasts a huge range of places to eat, from Michelin-star restaurants serving gourmet dishes, to country pubs dishing up hearty, honest fare, to beachside bistros offering simple but excellent staples. Wherever you go, a friendly welcome, the widespread use of local produce and adventurous menus all make for a dining experience to remember.

Jersey's culture is extremely rich and there is much more to the island than first appears. Museums are extremely plentiful, with highlights including the Jersey Museum at St. Helier, the Grève de Lecq Barracks at St. Mary, and both the Kempt Tower Visitors Centre and the rather unique Battle of the Flowers Museum at St. Ouen. Remembering the German fortifications in the 1940s, the Jersey War Tunnels (Ho8) are located at St. Lawrence and this former underground war hospital is quite simply fascinating and unique, being packed with wartime information and endless artefacts.

Jersey has a long-standing reputation for inward investment, attracting successful companies and the people that run them.
