Market Walk (10/18/25)

Yesterday, Bob and I had a good 8+ mile walk from the house in St Saviour parish through St Helier parish, St Laurens parish, St Peter parish, and into St Brelade parish to an artisan market in the St Brelade Parish Hall near St Aubin’s Bay before heading back along the waterfront trail to St Helier where we caught a bus back to the house.

Government House in St Saviour parish,
where the Lieutenant Governor (Crown representative) resides
An example of the road and sidewalk situation in Jersey.
As was the case in Guernsey,
there is frequently only sidewalk on one side of the street
The gym that we have joined while here.
The field immediately behind the gym is the home field
for the Jersey National Football (Soccer) Team.
The route took us up and over a hill
before descending down to the waterfront.
These are the initial steps up,
The view of St Helier from the top of the series of stairs
There was a cemetery that we walked through
at the top of the hill.
Descending the hill to walk along the sea at very low tide.
Another view of our walk down
A hotel or housing complex near the water
Crossing the street to get onto the waterfront trail
after the petite train tour went by
A much larger amount of beach visible
than the first time we walked on the trail
A waterside restaurant next to the parish hall
The marina at low tide
Part of the small artisan market in the parish hall.
We bought some baked goods.
Looking down the street from the plaza in front of the parish hall
A lovely landscaped pocket park along the waterfront
as we started back towards St Helier
A marker along the waterfront wall noting the demarcation between St Helier and St Laurens parishes
Per the sign, not actually the first,
but one of over 20 defensive towers remaining on Jersey
Elizabeth Castle. We saw an amphibious vehicle
take visitors out to the castle while we were walking.
A business building in St Helier
A WWII mine being used as a collection box for charities
The bus station where we caught a bus back to the house
