Jersey
Use the bike route planner’s cycling routes to explore Jersey, the biggest Channel Island located in the English Channel. It is owned by the British crown but not part of the EU. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the average temperature during the summer months is about 21°C and is thus perfect for bike tours. Here, you can find bike routes of varying degrees of difficulty that cover relaxed cycling at the beach as well as hilly ascends.
