The Minquiers known as "the Minkies" in local English are a group of islands and rocks, about 15 km (9.3 mi) south of Jersey. At low tide, the rock shelf around the Minquiers has a larger surface area than Jersey itself but at high tide only a few of the main heads remain above water. The largest of these is Maîtresse, which is about 50 m (55 yd) long and 20 m (22 yd) wide and has about ten stone cottages in various states of repair; these are the most southerly buildings in the British Isles. There are no permanent inhabitants. |
