Previously published by Moorland, this guide to Jersey is designed to help the independent traveller to plan to visit the coast and the countryside, and to experience what Jersey really has to offer. Only 14 miles from France and, yet, nearly 100 miles from England, Jersey has the dual flavour of being British, but feeling as though it is French: many place names and surnames are in French, though the loyalties are British; the island's history records the conflict between the two nations; and the cuisine is superb. Above all, it is warm, sunny - with the best sunshine record in the British Isles - and, since the TV "Bergerac" series was filmed on the island, very popular. Jersey has much to offer: bargains for the keen shopper; watersports and cliff walking for the energetic; discos and night life; bathing and beaches; rare birds and flowers for nature lovers; and prehistoric remains and museums for the history enthusiast. The "Landmark FactFile" is a comprehensive listing of all practical information essential for a successful holiday, including details of accommodation for those travelling independently.
