TB Davis – The Only Sailor in the Fleet - Exhibition

Jersey and the Great War: 12 Voices - Exhibition

Extended for a fourth year, this popular exhibition tells TB Davis’ story; from humble beginnings as a 13-year old fisherman to becoming qualified as an extra master under sail. The exhibition traces his story from his childhood, his time as a sailor, through the years when he made his fortune in Southern Africa to the glory of owning the racing schooner Westward.

Time: 10:00 – 16:00 - Sunday only Price: £8.90 adult, £5.60 child, £7.90 senior, under 6s free Place: Maritime Museum, New North Quay, St. Helier Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org SATURDAY 1st - SUNDAY 2nd

Ice Age Island - Exhibition This is the second year of the Ice Age Island three-year archaeological project in which Jersey Heritage, and other partners on the island, is working with a team of academics drawn from a number of prestigious universities and institutions who are exploring Jersey’s prehistory.

Specialists are searching our headlands, coasts, caves, fields and seabed in the hope of discovering new sites and Ice Age landscapes, as well as applying cutting edge scientific techniques to already known sites. This exhibition reports on their progress as they discover new and exciting stories about how our ancestors lived and adapted to the Ice Age world. It is a story that spans over half a million years and also tells of the discovery of the Celtic Coin Hoard in Jersey in 2012 with a film of the excavation and a full replica of the hoard.

Time: 10:00 – 17:00 Price: £7.90 adult, £5 child, £6.90 senior, under 6s free Place: La Hougue Bie, Grouville Tel: 01534 633300 Web: www.jerseyheritage.org

On 4 August 1914, following the German failure to withdraw from neutral Belgium, Britain joined in a war that was to last over four years, range over the entire globe and cost over 750,000 of her citizens their life. At the time, Jersey had a resident population of just under 52,000 and approximately 20% of them served the British or French war effort, which left few islanders untouched by the tragedy of war. While the story of the Great War is a story of millions, it is also the story of individuals.

Jersey and the Great War tells some of those stories... Free to Jersey Heritage Members and Jersey Pass Holders.

Enjoy Nature La Lande de Ouest Part of the dry coastal heathland lying above the cliffs along the greater part of the south-west coast. A designated Site of Special Interest (SSI) and rich in flora and fauna, this area is an important part of the island’s landscape, and biodiversity. A great area for walking and bird watching.

St Catherine’s Woods

Le Noir Pré

Ramsar Sites

Often known simply as “The Orchid Field”, this unique site actually consists of two distinct but adjoining wet meadows. Le Noir Pré and the smaller Le Clos du Seigneur. The site is one of the last remaining strongholds of the Jersey Orchid or loose-flowered Orchid (Orchis Laxiflora). Orchid flowering season May and June.

These are areas listed on the Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance which concerns the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.

Jersey has four! These magnificent sites are; the south-east coast of Jersey, Le Minquiers, Les Ècréhous, and Les Dirouilles, and Les Pierres de lecq (The Paternosters). These sites are truly unique and worth a visit; however, three of these sites are offshore reefs and require a trip by boat. Check out the “Activities” section of the operators who can take you on a short boat trip to see these sites. The south coast area can be walked around and guided walks are available (contact Jersey Walk Adventures – see “Activities”). Important! If you wish to walk around the area independently please seek advice first as the tide rises rapidly and you can become stranded if unprepared. Knowledge of the tides is essentially. Jersey Tourism can provide advice if necessary but recommends that you employ a guide. See “Walking” section of this guide.

St Catherine’s Woods

Also known as Rozel Woods, this woodland is set in a deep-cut, steepsided valley. A stream running through the valley floor has helped develop a wide range of habitats within the woodland.

Les Landes This coastal heathland is the most spectacular aspect of Jersey’s wild environments. Les Landes is Jersey’s largest single expanse of maritime heathland covering 160 hectares and bound by 3 km of high granite cliffs.

Val de la Mare Arboretum

Le Noir Pré

Hidden away in the north west corner of the Island next to Val de la Mare reservoir, is one of Britain’s most unique collection of trees in an arboretum called ‘The Forgotten Forest’. Planted in the late 1970s, seedlings grown from seeds gathered all over the world have progressed into an eclectic collection of mature trees. Divided into zones within the arboretum, North American maples and oaks stand near Australasian eucalyptus trees, interesting flora compliment a majestic wingnut, walnut and hickory zone. Don’t miss a giant Californian redwood specimen or the Japanese zone alongside the conifers and pines. There’s even an ‘Elm Trial Zone’ containing species of the tree which are thought to be resistant to Dutch elm disease.

BEACH LIFEGUARDS IN JERSEY A team of professional lifeguards patrol key beaches from mid May to the end of September. Look out for the red and yellow flags which indicate the patrolled areas for swimming. Swim within the flags, but note that when a red flag is flying the conditions are dangerous and unsuitable for swimming. Jersey has some of the largest tidal flows in the world so take care when bathing or exploring the seashore. The beach lifeguard team is only too happy to advise swimmers regarding beach safety, please ask.
