On display for the first time in Jersey is the famous painting by Copley, The Death of Major Peirson, which normally hangs at the Tate Britain.

We have been able to bring the painting to its spiritual home and for the first time use state-of-the-art audio visual techniques to bring the characters and the action to life with a 10 minute show, the heart of which is the painting itself, featuring commentary, in English and French featuring the painter and a soldier who fought in the Battle, describing what really happened in those fateful fifteen minutes leading the deaths of Major Francis Peirson and his counterpart, Baron Philippe de Rullecourt.

Between 1922 and 1940, in the era of hunger marches, the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression, Jersey-born Thomas Benjamin Davis gave away an estimated one million pounds to what he deemed to be good causes.

This exhibition tells his story. For the first time in many years, Davis’ yachting trophies will be on display for the public to see, along with recently discovered photographs telling the story of this enigmatic Jerseyman who left a lasting legacy to the Island.

Jersey’s Garden Treasure Everyone loves a garden! Whether you are a novice, an experienced enthusiast or simply an armchair gardener, you will find lots to interest you in Samarès Manor’s richly planted gardens; they contain a multitude of environmental conditions and design styles and are aptly set in the tranquil grounds of one of Jersey’s foremost stately homes. Created in the 1920s, in recent years the gardens have seen many new developments. The exuberant exotics garden, the Mediterranean style drought garden, the rose and lavender garden and conservation areas are good examples. This year’s innovation is the creation of the discovery gardens, which demonstrate different styles of planting to help you design or rethink your own garden. This strategy takes the gardens further down the road to creating Jersey’s Kew. However, much of the original design still remains including the Japanese Garden, built using limestone from the north of England, numerous ponds, islands, water gardens and camellia plantations.

Samarès Manor’s Herb Garden Take a bird’s eye view of Samarès Manor’s spectacular walled herb garden, one of the most comprehensive in Europe. The viewing platform, high above the walls, adds an extra dimension to this unique collection of herbs. The formal planting scheme is the work of internationally renowned garden designer, John Brookes. The garden is a venue for popular talks on herbs and their uses. Many of the culinary herbs are used in the Herb Garden Café, adding flavour and attractive garnish to delicious home-made dishes. The chef’s garden is an exceptionally fertile area where culinary delicacies are grown.

Education and Family Learn about the wildlife and plants that abound at Samarès with the family nature quiz or explore the living willow labyrinth, the jungle path and woodland walks. Those interested in history and heritage can tour the manor house or visit the Rural Life and Carriage Museum. The Gardens of Samarès Manor are open to the public, March 30th to October 12th.

Portelet Common

Val de la Mare Arboretum

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 theisland’s landscape, and biodiversity. A great area for walking and bird watching.

With a mixture of dramatic sea views and a habitat typical of an area subjected to the prevailing south-westerly wind, the common has thick gorse cover, dwarf shrub heathland and lichen-rich grassland. Peaking at one sixty one metres above sea level and covering thirty one hectares this scenery is not to be missed.

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. Starved of funding, the collection was largely neglected until 2011 when local tree charity Jersey Trees for Life, with the support of Jersey Water, stepped in to embark on an ambitious project to rejuvenate this tranquil and forgotten site. Free to visit and easily accessible from the car park opposite the aMaizin! Adventure Park on Bus Route No.9, this is a work in progress well worth a trip.” (Suggestion:

Le Noir Pré 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.

Le Noir Pre

Le Blanches Banques The sand dune system at the southern end of St Ouen’s Bay is recognised as an SSI and more than 400 plantspecies have been recorded here. It also provides home to the super Jersey Green Lizard.

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.

Ramsar Sites These are areas listed on the Ramstar List of Westland’s of International Importance which concerns the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Jersey has four! These magnificent sites are; the southeast 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.

Reservoirs There are several reservoirs within the island which can be walked around. These include Queen’s Valley and Val de la Mare. Other reservoirs include Millbrook, Grands Vaux, Handois, Mourier Valley and Dannemarche.

suitable only for able bodied walkers)

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

St Ouen’s Pond (La Mare au Seigneur). Probably the most significant wetland in Jersey, it is a dedicated nature reserve with open water, reed beds and a marshy perimeter providing habitats for fish, insects, flowers and birds, including the Marsh Harrier which can often be seen gliding above the pond.

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.
