#mytraveldiary Ambience & Setting Nestled in St. Brelade, Jersey, Reg’s Garden (also called Reg’s Award-Winning Garden) is a lovingly tended 1.5 acre plot created by Reg Langlois since 1985. Walk through winding paths beneath flowering borders, beside a long koi pond with waterfall, through aviaries, alpine gardens and a “Fairy Garden”. It feels peaceful, fragrant, alive with insects, birds, fish—and the sort of place where time slows and you notice small details.  ⸻ Highlights · A long koi pond (≈ 180 ft) with waterfall feature—a centrepiece that reflects light, colours, and movement.  · Fairy Garden & Alpine Garden – little magical corners and raised rocky flower beds for contrast.  · Aviary / Bird Sanctuary – plenty of birds, adding sound and life to the garden.  · Amphitheatre – outdoor space sheltered by planting, great to pause and take in views or have a small rest.  · Fragrant and wildlife-friendly planting – many plants chosen for their scent and ability to attract bees, butterflies etc.  ⸻ Practical Info · Location: Badger’s Holt, Route des Genets, St Brelade, Jersey, Channel Islands.  · Size & Time: 1.5 acres; plan for ~1 hour or more if you enjoy quietly wandering or photography.  · Opening Hours: Usually open daily from 10 am to 5 pm.  · Admission: Free entry.  · Best Time to Visit: Spring and summer, when flowers are in full bloom; morning or late afternoon for gentler light and fewer people. ⸻ Why It’s Worth Visiting Because Reg’s Garden is not huge, but it brings together charm, detail, and care in ways that big gardens sometimes miss. It’s ideal if you love colour, scent, birds, koi fish, peaceful walks, or reasonably priced / free beauty. Good for families, photographers, or anyone who appreciates nature’s quiet artistry. ⸻ Final Thoughts Take time to explore slowly—pause by the pond or in the aviary. Bring a camera or sketchbook; bring sun protection or hat (some sections are exposed). Since it’s free and welcoming, it makes a beautiful half-day stop or a “nature breather” between more intense sightseeing. It’s also a reminder of what passion and care can grow out of a small plot of land.

I went here for breakfast, very reasonable especially for Jersey! £11.95 including tea/coffee and toast. Also, it invludes black pudding 🤢 so I passed on that. Beautiful location on St Brelades bay in Jersey, fantasitic views, especially if you get a window table. Easy to get to as there is a regular bus and the beach is one of the best on the island, beautiful sand, warm sea. #full_english #breakfast

Recommend visiting, however check the tide before. When I visited the tide was too high and there was as no possibility walking over to the lighthouse.

St. Brelade’s Bay in Jersey- Honestly, it’s just a fantastic beach. Soft sand that’s great to walk on, water that’s actually clear and calm, perfect for swimming without getting bashed around by waves. Loads of places to eat right there, from fancy seafood spots to quick cafes for a sandwich. I saw families, couples, everyone just chilling or messing about on paddleboards. The church nearby is worth a look if you’re into that kind of thing. Got there early, so parking wasn’t a pain. Sunset was epic – the kind you actually want to take a photo of. If you’re after a proper beach day in Jersey, you can’t go wrong! #JerseyCI #VisitJersey #JerseyChannelIslands #StBreladesBay #ChannelIslands #ThisIsJersey #JerseyUK #JerseyBeaches #JerseyLife #JerseyViews #BeachVibes #SeasideEscape #ClearWater #SandyBeaches #BeachLife #CoastalViews #HiddenGems #UKGetaways #SeaViews #BeachWanderlust

Enjoying the adventure of Channel Island

During the five years that the British Crown dependency Jersey was occupied by Germany during World War II, the entire island was built into an unsinkable aircraft carrier. The French Atlantic coast became Germany's outpost. In order to prevent the Allies from attacking France from the sea in the future, the Germans began to build defensive facilities with reinforced concrete on the Black Mountain Cape on the island of Jersey in the English Channel as early as 1941. These included a large command bunker equipped with four 150mm SK L/45 naval guns. Later, before the Allied landing in Normandy, Jersey was first occupied to clear the obstacles for a successful landing. This defensive position was the only German naval coastal battery on the island and was part of Hitler's infamous Atlantic Wall. It is one of the few relatively unspoilt areas on Jersey's south coast. The hill on the left side of Figure 1 still preserves the German naval guns of that time. #OverseasTravel #IslandHoliday #EuropeTravel #UKAttractions #UKTravel #BestPlacesInUK #IslandTour #IslandClimate #WWIIRelics #Jersey

The La Corbiere Lighthouse on Jersey, a British Crown dependency, is located on the rocks of a tidal island. Only at low tide can people walk to the lighthouse from the shore via a causeway. There are alarms to remind visitors to clear the causeway at high tide, but despite this there have been casualties from the careless or unlucky. A plaque beside the causeway commemorates the lighthouse's assistant keeper, Peter Edwin La Balestier, who drowned on 28 May 1946 while trying to rescue a tourist who was cut off by a high tide. La Corbiere Lighthouse was the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be built of concrete. The tower is 19 metres high and the light is 36 metres above high tide. It was built to the designs of British civil engineer Sir John Coode and was first lit on April 24, 1874. The beam has a range of 33 km and was automated in 1976. During the German occupation of Jersey during World War II, this was one of the main defensive positions, and the fortifications are almost intact, including a reinforced concrete blockhouse with five shooting floors (Figure 2). The lighthouse is one of Jersey's most photographed landmarks and is almost a must-see for visitors. It also appears on Jersey's 5 pound paper and 20 pence hardcover. #OverseasTravel #IslandHoliday #Seaview #EuropeTravel #EuropeTourism #UK #UKAttractions #UKTravel #BritishDestinations #Jersey #Lighthouse
