Jersey is a first class holiday island, known for its wonderfully safe and exciting environment, which lets you feel abroad whilst enjoying the comforts of home.
Jersey was voted No.1 Best Island in the United Kingdom 2016 by Trip Advisor, cementing it as a location for your travel bucket list.
The island is the most southerly of the British Isles, located around 100 miles south of Britain and just 14 miles from mainland France.
Jersey is the perfect holiday destination as it has a relatively short flight time from a number of departure points throughout Scotland; the local currency used is British pounds so there is no need to convert your cash and the island experiences glorious summer temperatures due its close proximity to France.
Throughout the year the island offers an array of events that encourage holiday makers to return to Jersey time and time again. Press and Journal Travel take a look at what’s going on this year on the beautiful island.
Battle of Flowers – August
Arguably one of Europe’s most famous flower festivals, Battle of Flowers, is held in August each year. Watch the parade come to life down the streets of St Helier and watch this year’s ‘Miss Battle’ be crowned.
