Jersey National Park

Valleys, coast and ancient sites on Jersey, the largest Channel Island

Jersey's valleys, such as Waterworks Valley and Grands Vaux, mostly run north to south across an island about 9 miles (14 km) wide. Mont Orgueil Castle and the Neolithic dolmen La Hougue Bie show how long people have lived here.
