Jersey, Channel Islands

The 2024 Autumn Voyage d’Étude was based at the Hotel de France in St Helier from Wednesday 11 to Sunday 15 September 2024. Fourteen miles from the Cotentin Peninsula, Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, with a rich history from Stone Age dolmens to island defences and the wartime occupation.

Visits included a coach tour of the north and east of the island and Mont Orgueil Castle at Gorey, which protected Jersey against French invasion for 600 years, La Corbière lighthouse, the Maritime Museum, the Royal Square and Central Market in St Helier, and a day trip to Sark.
