Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands but still only nine miles by five, offers visitors the best of both worlds – it’s just a little way away from the UK but somewhat different and ever so slightly exotic.
The easily accessible island is less than an hour’s flight away from London and many of the UK’s regional airports. But those who would rather not board a plane or prefer to indulge in slow travel can hop on a Condor Ferries departure to Jersey from Poole or Portsmouth.
To reassure visitors when they are ready to holiday once again the Government of Jersey has introduced a Safer Travel Policy, designed to help travellers stay safe on their island
break (see box, below).
LITTLE BREAK, BIG ESCAPE
Visitors choosing Jersey for their next holiday can take their pick from miles of hidden beaches and bays to explore – including those featuring on the Jersey national park walking trails – or hire a bicycle to explore the new Evie electric bike routes, which are perfect for those seeking a leisurely way to admire the island’s breathtaking scenery.
High-adrenaline options for exploring include kayaking or paddle-boarding, both ideal choices for discovering Jersey’s many secluded beaches, bays and coves. Plus, all these activities promise open space and fresh air in an environment where social distancing is made easy.
