Jersey

Jersey (pop. 82,000) extends over 11mi/18km from east to west and 7mi/11km from north to south. The north coast has the more striking scenery, with a chain of high cliffs, rocky inlets and caves; the other coasts are flatter and more densely populated. Few visitors find their way along the very narrow roads into the interior, an area of intensive vegetable growing and farming. There is a particularly pleasant footpath which runs along the disused stretch of track - part of the old Jersey Railway - from St Aubin lighthouse to Corbière Point on the southwest tip of the island.
