Located a mere 14 miles from mainland France, and historically part of the Duchy of Normandy, Jersey has retained its lengthy French heritage, which is reflected in the dual-language road signs, rural cider farms and quirky petanque clubs.
The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey is nine miles long and five miles wide and criss-crossed with verdant country lanes. Famously one of the sunniest corners of Britain, the island has a tropical feel in parts with palm trees and wide white-sand beaches.
Here, you can spend the day at Jersey Zoo, part of the Durrell Foundation, which was founded by late writer and naturalist Gerald Durrell (check out our trip to Corfu with his wife Lee Durrell). You can also go beach hopping around the south of island, or explore the Jersey War Tunnels, a subterranean network of tunnels built by the Germans during World War II.
