Daisy Cottage Campsite and Retreat

Being so close to the coast it’d be a pity not to get out on the water, so roam over to the watersports and adventure outlets at St Brelade's Bay, a 15-minute drive from the park, to rent kayaks or take windsurfing classes. Alternatively, these providers also put on coasteering tours, where thrillseekers can climb, dive and swim along the island’s stunning shoreline. Keep an eye out for dolphins in the water as you make your way from point A to B or mosey on over to Jersey Zoo (a 20-minute drive), which was founded by naturalist Gerald Durrell as a place to conserve endangered and rare species; you’ll see exotic creatures like gorillas here and can have close encounters with lemurs and meerkats. Hoping to add a bit of history to your trip? Get along to the Jersey War Tunnels, a museum set in underground alleyways hewn from granite by Allied prisoners of war, for an intriguing look at what life was like for the island's population under German occupation during the 1940s.
