Streets squares and districts to visit Jersey

Protected by the imposing fortress of Mont Orgueil Castle, it was, in the Middle Ages, the most important port on the island of Jersey. It then declined from the 16th century. Even if, until the 19th century, many shipyards were still installed there. Today, it is lined with very pretty and colorful houses. Most of them are home to restaurants that unfold their pleasant terraces in the shadow of the castle or small souvenir stores. A very nice stroll awaits you here, especially at sunset.

In Gorey, it would be a mistake to limit oneself to a visit to the port and the castle which, due to the magic of the parish cuttings, are both located in Saint-Martin. The village itself, which stretches back from the beach, is made up of lovely little streets lined with stone walls and low, colourful houses behind which you can guess flower gardens. Around some shops (deliciously vintage), in the alleys, you feel a real village life. This quiet village is a bit of a summary of rural Jersey.

It is for us without any doubt the most beautiful bay of the island of Jersey. In any case, it is the most accessible from the capital. At the end of the beach, the small fishing port is one of the most charming postcards of the island. To take advantage of the landscape, many quality restaurants have been set up around the basin and the parish hall, which stands in the center of the village. Opposite the beach is the fort of Saint-Aubin, accessible at low tide. This is the place to go for a nice walk or a long swim.
