Jersey is a British crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. Along with the Guernsey it forms the grouping known as the Channel Islands.
The defence of all these islands is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. However, Jersey is not part of the UK, nor the European Union, but is rather a separate possession of the Crown.
Jersey’s prehistoric period produced a rich legacy of artefacts. Remnants of a great French forest that existed over 10,000 years ago, when the Island was part of the continent can still be seen today at St Ouen when there is a low tide. Flints and crude stone tools were left by hunters in La Cotte a la Chevre (Goat’s cave) now perched 60 feet (18 m) above the sea level on the north coast of St Ouen and La Cotte de St Brelade is one of the most important Palaeolithic sites in Europe.
Sark is a small island that is located close to the islands of Guernsey and Jersey and lies in the English Channel. It is one of the Channel Islands and has around 700 residents and is quite unusual in that the entire island is car-free. The only methods of transport allowed on the island are bicycles, horse drawn carriages and tractors. There are two main areas of the island and they are known as Greater Sark and Little Sark, and are connected to each other by a small strip of land known as the Coupee. The island, which is only 5 km long, is governed by the Seigneur and is the smallest European State in existence. Popular attractions on the island include its spectacular coastline and secluded beaches such as Grande Greve Bay. There are also the fantastic grounds that surround the Seigneur's official residence - the 17th century La Seigneurie.
The Isle of Sark Shipping Company operates small ferries from Sark to St Peter Port in Guernsey. The crossing takes 45 minutes for the 14 km journey. A high-speed passenger ferry also operates in the summer to Jersey. Also a 12-passenger boat, the Lady Maris II, operates regular services to Alderney.
