Jersey Cream ; Jersey Is Celebrating 800 Years of Allegiance to Britain This Year, but There's More Than History to Attract Visitors

Summary

---

With Jersey celebrating 800 years of allegiance to the British Crown, this is the perfect time to enjoy all the attractions based around the island's past. But if history isn't your bag, there are plenty of other things to enjoy and they have nothing to do with Bergerac.

For example, Jersey has gloriously empty, clean beaches, and the island's vast stretches of sand are the place to discover the trendiest seaside activity, Blokarting. This involves whizzing along at up to 40mph on a lightweight land yacht. It is surprisingly easy and with a bit of practice, you can race against friends. Pure Jersey Ventures (01534 769 165, www.purejersey.com) will soon be offering Blokarting directly from the beach, or you can book this and more than 20 other activities in advance.

Here you'll see orangutans, gorillas...
