50 Family Fun

Welcome to island life We locals live life with gusto – the essence of joie de vivre has woven its way through the indomitable British spirit and 800 years of independence to form an island with a character all its own.

Fascinating and uniquely Jersey, our long association with France and Britain have moulded the landscape, people, history and culture.

Discover rugged coastline, towering cliffs and sandy beaches teeming with flora and fauna – all just a stone’s throw from the lush rural interior where our worldclass produce is lovingly nurtured before finding its way to your plate. Be it Michelin-starred dining or a fresh crab sandwich in one of our typical beach cafes, every mouthful bursts with flavour and freshness.

Neolithic stones older than the pyramids stand shoulder to shoulder with Medieval castles and the imposing reminders of our recent history. Present day St Helier is a thriving and cosmopolitan hub offering all of the cutting-edge pleasures of short-break luxury.

And, just to add to your agenda, each year a wealth of festivals and events take place, celebrating every aspect of what makes Jersey so special.

Whatever your reason for visiting; relax, re-charge, discover.

Occupied: Behind Barbed Wire - Exhibition

1781 The Battle of Jersey Exhibition

An exhibition of artwork and artefacts made by those deported whilst in their internment camps, including items recycled from Red Cross parcels, such as the cardboard, the string, the cellophane packing material, the tins themselves and the wooden parcel crates. These were all turned into a variety of objects. Unless we tell the story while the last of these deportees are alive all the unique, moving and sometimes beautiful stories would be lost, as would all of the personal collections in people's attics crucially, these items tell the story of internment. They speak of the experience of deportation and internment of these 2,200 people deported from the Channel Islands during World War II.

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. The most important painting to the history of the Island, Copley’s work represents the spirit of the Battle of Jersey, a pivotal point in the Island’s history. In 2012 we have a chance to bring the painting to its spiritual home and exhibit it with artefacts from the event itself, including: a bullet fired during the battle and an actual drum that is shown in the painting.

The Queen by Chris Levine This year Jersey Heritage joins the Island's Jubilee celebrations with an exhibition called The Queen by Chris Levine. Well known in England for his striking holographic portraits and abstractions, in 2004 Chris Levine was commissioned to make a portrait of the Queen as part of Jersey's celebrations of its 800-year old relationship with the monarchy. The resulting pictures – both traditional and lenticular - have revolutionized the art of royal portraiture, taking it into a visual, technological, and psychological realm never before attempted. The Queen by Chris Levine is a display of some of those images and 3-D data sets of Her Majesty.

Lillie Langtry – The Prince’s Mistress

Murder, Muck and Mayhem

St Aubin - in the Shadow of the Black Hill

Born in October 1853, Emilie Charlotte Le Breton was destined to lead a life that others either dreamt of, or disapproved of. Inspired by the professional beauties of the time, she had her future planned at an early age. Married at 20 to Edward Langtry, a seemingly wealthy Irish playboy, she escaped her island home and finally arrived in Belgravia in London in 1876. From the moment she was absorbed into London Society her rise to fame was meteoric: a friend of Oscar Wilde, socialite, actress, racehorse owner and successful business woman, this is the story of a ground-breaking woman far ahead of her time.

Enjoy nature

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 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.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Portelet Common 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.

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 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.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

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.

The most spectacular Herb Garden in Great Britain Japanese, Exotics and Water Gardens Manor House Tours Rural Life and Carriage Museum Herb Garden CafĂŠ Herbs and Fresh Produce from the Gardens OPEN EVERY DAY APRIL 7th to OCTOBER 13th SAMARES MANOR, ST CLEMENT Tel: 870551 www.samaresmanor.com

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.

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.

Originally created in the 1920s by millionaire shipping magnate and philanthropist, Sir James Knott, the gardens have, in recent years, seen significant developments and the introduction of major new areas of planting. The exuberant exotics garden, the Mediterranean style drought garden, the rose and lavender garden and conservation areas are good examples. 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.

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.

Samarés 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.

The Gardens of Samarès Manor are open to the public, April 7th to October 13th.

Jersey Pearl The Pearl Experts Since the Jersey Pearl family started the business 27 years ago, the pearl industry has seen huge developments both in terms of its levels of production, as well as the styles and colours now available on the market.

Freshwater pearls, which are grown in large mussels, are naturally found in shades ranging from warm white through to blush pink and pale

purple,

nowadays

however these natural gems are also being dyed after harvesting to create the most fantastic range of rainbow colours,

from

peppermint

green and midnight blue

As well as sourcing pearls directly from the Pearl farms in the Far East, Jersey Pearl also has an in-house design team that are regularly working on new designs and collections.

To celebrate their 25th anniversary three new collections were introduced in the range for 2010. The Lily Collection delicate rose ehite freshwater pearls have been used to create this elegant and feminine range.

The Alice Collection - working with the ever-popular natural coloured freshwater button pearls, this collection set on silver is ideally suited for those looking to start their love affair with pearls!

Jersey Pearl also introduced their Freshwater Pearl Charm Collection - using the Jersey shoreline as inspiration, this collection was exclusively design for Jersey Pearl and has charms ranging from beautifully crafted lobster, starfish and oyster shell designs to a map of Jersey - the perfect memento of a visit to our wonderful island.

through to hot fuchsia pink and honey yellow.

Within the last decade there has also been expansion within the shape of the freshwater pearl- traditionally round, oval or pear-drop shape, the farms in China, where the majority of the Freshwater pearls are grown, are now able to create irregular and unusual shaped pearls such as the Keshi pearl - which is commonly described as the cornflake pearl as well as the Biwa pearl, a delicate and elegant long stick shape.

Jersey Pearl has always worked very closely with their suppliers all around the world, making sure that it is only the highest quality pearls that reach the shop floor.

Jersey Goldsmiths

Celebrating 1986 - 2011

Jersey’s Home of Jewellery

History of Gold

Before moving to the spacious surroundings of Lion Park, Jersey Goldsmiths opened on the 21st July 1986 on the Five Mile Road.

They took over what used to be ‘Clumps’ nightclub, equipped with two swimming pools and a revolving bar!

Since the beginning of civilisation man has placed great value upon gold. Over the centuries it has taken many forms, from gold nuggets, ingots and coins, even as far back as 4,000BC to the Egyptians using it to adorn themselves and decorate the tombs and temples of the Egyptian empire.

2003 saw Jersey Goldsmiths relocate to their St. Lawrence site; Lion Park, which has recently undergone an elegant refurbishment. Still managed by a local family, now with four generations involved, their commitment to beautiful Jersey jewellery, a memorable shopping experience and education is stronger than ever.

Their 25th anniversary celebrated recently was dedicated to all aspects of their jewellery world.

Their expertise in creativity, design and jewellery care was highlighted throughout the year. Visit their showroom in 2012 to learn all about gold, silver and gemstones from around the world. Be inspired by their collections and the wonderful ideas behind them, including ‘Roseanna’ a collection designed by a local art and design student to mark their 25th anniversary year.

The summer months are filled with educational and fun activities for all the family to enjoy as you learn all about gold and gems.

WE ARE OPEN

7 days a week from 9.30am - 5.30pm

Gold mining countries are mainly Australia, U.S.A, China, Peru and Russia, but the world leaders are South Africa. They have been mining in this region for over 100 years, although the largest gold nugget was discovered in Australia in 1869 weighing a massive 72 kilograms, a replica is now displayed at Jersey Goldsmiths.

The founder’s grand-daughter Julia Williams, now manager at Jersey Goldsmiths, says “We have, over the years, welcomed 7.5 million visitors to Jersey Goldsmiths and I feel that we are ambassadors for Jersey. Our visitors leave with a beautiful piece of Jersey jewellery and a keepsake of their holiday which is very special to me.”

In the last 25 years we have sold 3,484,500 inches of chain which is 217,787 necklaces - the equivalent or 55 miles of chain, more than the length of Jersey’s coastline.

“We have such an exciting year ahead and look forward to seeing all our visitors in 2012” Julia Williams, Manager

Its award winning restaurant and bar, are well known for their excellent quality food at affordable prices and superb service.

The Restaurant is calm and inviting, with unusual art adding a fun vibe. You’ll find a real mix of customers and the staff are incredibly efficient and friendly. THE INN has some of the best Chefs in Jersey, who will prepare for you fresh locally caught fish, tender steaks and house specialities - loads to choose from.

THE INN’s Bar has a great range of wines and real ales, as well as serving food like Jersey’s biggest homemade burger or fresh pizzas, and the Live music nights on Fridays with free tapas are a real treat.

Another place popular with locals as you explore the Island is the Seymour Inn in Grouville, a traditional Jersey pub with a warm welcome and great pub grub. The menu has lots of choice including, unsurprisingly being surrounded by sea, plenty of delicious fish dishes. The oysters come from right across the road and you can even see the oyster beds! The menu has four different ways to enjoy them – a must!

In Summer the al fresco areas are perfect to enjoy the beach views with a chilled glass of wine or a pint of real ale and a tasty bite to eat.

Two Jersey gems, both with excellent food and friendly service, THE INN and the Seymour Inn won’t disappoint.

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.
