Introduction

Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands and lies in the English Channel about 12 miles from the coast of France. The Island has a long and rich history and culture and was ruled by Normandy for nearly three centuries before swearing allegiance to the English Crown in 1204 AD.

The island also has the third largest tidal ranges in the world, with over 12m on Spring Tides. In fact, Jersey doubles its area between high and low water spring tides!
