Summary There are seven little-known Channel Islands in the English Channel. One of them is Jersey. The independent state, which is the so-called British Dependent Territory, is a tax haven and 60 percent of its revenue comes from financial operations. This makes Jersey one of the richest places on the planet. However, megalithic builders, Celts and Normans, have left their mark here, and last but not least, Jersey, along with the neighboring islands, was the only British territory occupied by Nazi Germany during World War II. Extensive fortifications have been preserved from that time. History breathes on you every step of the way, but the famous Jersey cows also graze here, the tastiest potatoes are grown, giant cabbage grows and a big flower festival takes place here. And the charming medieval laws still apply here.
