Flowers and Food

Jersey is known as The Island of Flowers and renowned for its famous Jersey Potataoes.

It’s the warmest place in the British Isles. The language spoken is English, the currency is GBP however, bizarrely it is nearer to France than Britain and all of the streets are named in French so you get a bizarre clash of cultures…it is a fascinating culture to embrace.

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, it is not part of the EU but is a quasi English-French Isle which will intrigue and puzzle you all at the same time!

It is great for a weekend break here, you can explore and discover castles and coastlines, go horse-riding, walking or cycling on the island. The food quality the best in the British Isles, whether you opt for the famous Jersey Royale Potatoes or the fresh harvested Oysters… you won’t be disappointed!
