Insight Guides: Great Breaks Jersey by Insight GuidesMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This little book has much to get the reader excited about. It’s divided the island into itineraries that can be taken via car, but it also keeps in mind that not everyone has access to a car when they’re sightseeing and keeps alternative transport in mind, particularly when it comes to suggesting walks. The history is brief but adequate and lists each feature in both its historical and modern cultural context. The book certainly doesn’t cover everything, but it’s got just the right amount of information to get you up and running with the basics of the island, and web links are supplied to encourage the reader to get the latest information on each topic, and suggests a wide range of activities for both dry and wet outcomes. The maps are heavily laden with features and suggested route, and the guide is aptly illustrated on every page to get the reader excited about what to expect. Time to get packing.
