Anyone been?
Is there much to see and do?
Is it expensive?
What is the standard of accomodation?
Will we get around by public transport or need to hire a car?

All ideas and help gratefully received

Hi Colin
Loved Jersey
Stayed in rozel when we went there
Public transport ok but we hired a car and it was so easy to get around the island
Beautiful food
beautiful island

Thanks...is a week's stay about right?

One week will be fine, to see if you like it which I'm sure you will
which part are you thinking of going to

Don't have the foggiest we want a nice standard of hotel on the coast, we are both into history and would ideally like to leave the driving licences at home and simply chill for a week

its been a while since we have been but it is lovely so clean nice beaches dont think its that dear steeped in history as far as the occupation of jersey.lots to see and do tax free haven.we had a great time there .enjoy colin

Colin

Its been a few years since i went but i always remember the beatiful beaches.

Places to visit

The German underground hospital, fascinating insight to what the Germans did during the occupation, and with th use of slave labour.

Mount Orgeil castle at Gorey nice village. harbour as well

La Hougue Bie museum,with a bunker history of events during the 2nd world war

When i was there food was cheap but probably changed now

Cant say about public transport we had a car.

Plenty of info on the Jersey Tourist site with full descriptions.

Although it was many years ago we actually went 4 times so it must have been worth it, and i would go again.

Thanks this is giving us some ideas, would St Hellier be a good base for beaches, history and decent hotels

Imagine its had a lot of sightseers this year, not for the right reasons.

hmmm hadn't thought about that,,,may have pushed up accomodation prices

Hi Colin
you can to a trip to france for the day from there

Where to in France? I'm so sorry I have travelled all over the world but am totally in the dark when it comes back to the UK and Europe

St Malo! A really good day trip!


Have been to Jersey a few times, loads to do whatever the weather, for familes, couples, young or not so young!!!

My brain cells have died off a bit since we were there ,but it could be St.Malo.All my travel books have been moved out of study at the mo as OH decorating.
I'll put thinking cap on and have glass of wine,it may come back to me.If it is St Malo it's worth doing.

Its looking good for a trip in late June...keep the info coming

Back again Col.Think it could be Cherburg

Heard of Cherbourg (spelling) is that good for a day trip from Jersey?

Can't remember!!!!!Look up Jersey and it will tell what trips you can do to France

It will not be Cherbourg , takes 5 hrs by ferry, as has been mentioned St Malo very nice and the town walls are something special

St Malo...heard of that too, perhaps better go travel agents
