Jersey features a history that spans from the Neolithic period to World War II. On this Channel Island, visitors can explore Mont Orgueil Castle, a 13th-century fortress overlooking Gorey, and Elizabeth Castle, a 16th-century fort accessible by a causeway covered at high tide. The War Tunnels, a one-kilometer underground network built between 1940 and 1945, illustrate the period of German occupation. La Hougue Bie hosts a 6,000-year-old burial site topped with two medieval chapels. The island also offers natural areas such as Saint-Brelade Beach, maritime collections at the Jersey Museum, and local products available at La Mare Wine Estate or the Anglo-Normandian Islands Distillery. The Jersey Zoo, established in 1959, is dedicated to protecting endangered species over 13 hectares. These sites help understand the island's history, from its earliest inhabitants to maritime activities that have shaped Jersey up to the present.
