Jersey is the most popular of the Channel Islands located just 14 miles from the coast of France. Despite measuring only 9 by 5 miles the island is steeped in history, fringed by an unspoilt coastline of cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches, and has an array of local attractions for the young and old. The island has its own currency - the Jersey Pound - and is outside the Eurozone.
