I went to Jersey in 1983' so it's a while ago.

The thing I remember most is the German Underground Hospital - I think that is a must see. We also liked the castle at Gorey.

The OH worked there a couple of years ago. Weather often not as good as the mainland, and Jersey is a teensy bit old fashioned.
