Do you dream of a place of peace & tranquillity?  Well look no further than the island of Jersey, one of the beautiful Anglo-Norman islands.  You can prepare your journey with our video travel guides.  The island is best explored along the northern and eastern coastal roads, and is ideal for nature lovers, thanks to its magnificent vast expanses of moorland.  It's a well known piece of local trivia that the poet Victor Hugo lived here from 1852 for three years, when he was exiled.  Traces of human life have been found here dating from 7500 to 2500BC, but it's undoubtedly the Norman presence dating from the 10th century that has shaped the history of the island.
