A couple of weekends ago I spent some time in Jersey on a family visit. Aa very nice place it is too. Sort of like Devon, but with a French accent. Good if you like Devon and the French accent. Not so good if, erm, you don’t.
Hiring a scooter is the best way to get around and a couple of days is all you need to have a good nose about. I took some time to explore the island on foot too, which included a run along the excellent beach at St. Brelade. Very good steaks and wine list at the Candlelight restaurant in St. Helier to finish off a hard day’s sightseeing/running.
The Jersey Marathon takes place in September each year, and the Half-Marathon in May. Both would be worth the trip, a 35 minute flight from Gatwick.
I love Jersey too. It has a relaxed and easy going feel that is really comfortable to fall into
I will try the candlelight the next time I’m around that part of the world – thanks for the recommendation!
