Jersey’S Battle Of Flowers

Itinerary

Jersey’s Battle of Flowers

Every summer, the enchanting Channel Island of Jersey stages a fabulous floral celebration, the Battle of Flowers, one of the highlights on Jersey’s calendar. The familiar tradition of flower-festooned floats parading through the streets creates a tremendous atmosphere which attracts thousands of visitors each year. On this lovely break, we visit these processions during a day and a night parade and experience a tour of Jersey’s glorious coast.

We take a delightful tour along Jersey’s spectacular coastline. Highlights include St Brelade’s Bay, one of the island’s most popular resort beaches, the rugged north coast overlooking the neighbouring Channel Islands and the famous Corbière lighthouse on the south-west corner of the island. We also visit St Ouen’s Bay with its miles of golden sand and rolling Atlantic waves – a prime spot for surfing, and picturesque Gorey harbour overlooked by Mont Orgueil Castle.
