The Aspiring Jersey Island Geopark (AJIG) project is a local campaign supported by the Government of Jersey and Jersey Heritage to achieve geopark status for the island of Jersey.
Although not a sovereign state, Jersey has its own legal, fiscal and governmental systems; on that basis, it is regarded as a small nation or island country. [19][20][18] Jersey's territory also includes some surrounding uninhabited islands and rocks.
Jersey is an island that shines all year round, with each season offering its own unique charm. From crisp coastal walks and scenic countryside trails to golden beaches, dramatic cliffs and ever-changing seascapes, the island invites exploration whenever you visit.
Jersey, British crown dependency and island, the largest and southernmost of the Channel Islands, lying south of England’s coast and 12 miles (19 km) west of the Cotentin peninsula of France.
Nine miles by five miles. That’s the size of Jersey. It’s not a lot, you may think. You’d be wrong. The island is a mix of English reserve and French savoir-faire, cosmopolitan harbor and timeless hidden valleys, continental flair and scenes that are reassuringly familiar.
