Gorey Harbour Sights & Delights of Jersey
Basking off the coast of France and measuring just five miles by nine, Jersey is not only the perfect destination for those wanting a British holiday with a Continental feel but also tailor-made for touring. Our itinerary captures the charms of this picturesque gem with a full-day island tour and visits to some of its most famous attractions. SUGGESTED ITINERARY
4 Night Stays 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. For 7 Night Stays, the remainder of the tour is as follows: Day 5 Taste of Jersey We relax at leisure this morning before enjoying a guided tour of La Mare Wine Estate in the afternoon. Producing wine, gin, vodka, chocolate, jams and baked goods, we enjoy our tour with tastings and finish with a Jersey cream tea. Days 6 & 7 St Helier or Optional Excursion We can choose how we spend the next two days; whether it’s taking an optional excursion or just soaking up the slow-paced Jersey vibe. We might opt to spend longer at one of the attractions visited on Day 2, to St Helier for some tax-free shopping or simply relax at our chosen hotel. Day 8 Departure After breakfast, we begin our journey home.
All of the tours are also available by air from regional airports throughout the UK, providing an excellent experience for passengers travelling from their local area.
