Jersey, only 14 miles from the Normandy coast, is the largest of Britain’s channel islands and has the best sunshine record in the UK. The capital, St Helier is great for shops with lots of local produce as well as the central market which includes great food stalls and places to grab a bite.

Jersey, Channel Islands, is one of those places which is so close to London yet far enough to give visitors a rewarding experience - great beaches, heritage tourism and excellent food. We daresay that you haven't had oysters until you've tried Jersey Rock Oysters. Late September is prime shellfish season on the island. One highlight of our experience of Jersey's gastronomy was a platter of fresh Jersey Rock oysters from Oyster Box in St. Brelade parish. This video summarises our experience.
