A message from St Hellier
Jersey, home of Bergerac, cows & the only part of the British Isles to be occupied during the Second World War is a lovely place for a holiday. Without wishing to sound like a representative for the Jersey Tourist Board, the Mrs & I have just enjoyed a lovely few days camping there, and taken in a myriad of attractions that the island had to offer. In no particular order, I'd recommend visits to Jersey Zoo (unlike some zoos I've been to, the animals all seemed happy with their lot, which is the best thing I think you can say about anywhere that keeps animals), Mont Orgueil Castle, the War Tunnels and Elizabeth's Castle.

Getting round the island wasn't a problem, with a combination of the buses and walking getting us anywhere we wanted to be. Despite some decidedly variable weather we were able to do and see pretty much everything we wanted, and even pick up something approaching a sun tan along the way.

I'd also recommend The Royal pub, if you happen to be in St Martins, the food and beer are both excellent.
