Cycling in Jersey

Jersey - famous for Bergerac, milk and cream, royal potatoes and for being a tax haven. Income tax is actually a flat 20% introduced during the German occupation during WW1 and GST was only introduced in 2008 at 3% rising to 5% in 2011. The economy is based on financial services at 40% and only 9% for hotels, restaurants and bars which at first glance look like the dominant industry.

It's a nice place with a good network of cycle lanes, lots of nice sandy beaches and great food. We booked very last minute and stayed at Au Caprice Guest house opposite Saint Aubin's bay only 10 min walk from Saint Aubin village. We mostly cycled around, walked around and ate food. We did visit a castle in Gorey called Mont Orgueil, one of the best examples of medieval castles in Europe full of oubliettes and stone staircases, there's even proper dungeons.

Notes:
The ey at the end denotes an Island
Bergerac ran from 1981 to 1991
