Premium userAbout
Our Island story is rich and varied, fascinating and rare. It’s the narrative of our lives and those who came before us; providing context to who we are and the Island we live in. When something is so important, we must come together to protect it.
Jersey Heritage is Gardien of our Island story. We care for it, promote access to it, bring imagination to telling its stories and inspire others to do the same. As a charitable organisation we can only do this with your support. Through memberships, donations, volunteering and visits we will continue to preserve the Island’s memory and inspire people to create a better Island for everyone.

Here is a short stroll through Waterwork’s Valley to Hamptonne, the living farm museum. This woodland path was created entirely by volunteers from the Parish of St Lawrence to celebrate the Millennium. The route was decided upon in October 1998, and work started in November of that year. A nucleus of about 40 people took part in the scheme. Several private landowners generously allowed the path to cross their land, but most of the land that the path crosses is owned by Jersey Water.
