SUGGESTED ITINERARY
Day 1 Arrival On arrival in Jersey, we are transferred by coach to our hotel. Day 2 Full Day Tour of Jersey including Hamptonne Country Life Museum
Today, we embark on a full day step-on guided tour of the island, visiting St Aubin’s Bay, St Brelade’s Bay, Corbière Lighthouse, St Ouen’s Bay, Grève de Lecq Barracks and Gorey Harbour. We also call at the Hamptonne Country Life Museum, where a 15th-century country farm estate, includes a cider barn and orchard, offer wonderful
insight into the island’s rural life and cider-making history. Day 3 St Helier & Samares Manor Botanic Gardens
We enjoy a morning at leisure in St Helier, giving us an opportunity to stroll the picturesque Esplanade and visit attractions such as the Jersey Museum, Maritime Museum and Elizabeth Castle—the latter via the causeway at low tide or boat (small additional charge) at high tide. This afternoon, we visit the Botanic Gardens at Samares Manor. Set around the medieval manor, these gorgeous havens include a tranquil Japanese Garden, water gardens, exotic planting and more. Day 4 Wartime Jersey This morning we enjoy a wartime-themed tour of Jersey with a specialist guide: delving into the island’s experience of military occupation by Nazi Germany between 1940-1945 and visiting some key WWII sites. We then head to the Jersey War Tunnels, built during the German occupation; exploring the subterranean exhibitions chronicling the hardships and heroism of the islanders during this period. The tunnels are over 1,000m long, so some walking is needed, but the terrain is level. Day 5 Departure After breakfast, we make our way home.
