Dive deep into the past of delightful St Martin

Head over to St Martin, Jersey, to enjoy a bounty of history and nature in a quaint and quiet parish on the eastern coast of the island. St Martin is easy to reach by car once you've arrived in Jersey via plane or ferry.

One of the top attractions of St Martin is Mont Orgueil Castle. 800 years old and still standing strong, it is a fine example of medieval architecture. Wind back the clocks even further to learn about dolmens: St Martin boasts the two fantastic sites of Faldouet and Le Couperon where you can learn about these historically significant Neolithic stone constructions. The wooded paths of the neighbouring St Catherine's Woods make for a peaceful break amidst lush tree groves.

In St Martin, the coastline is never far. Head to the imposing feat of engineering of St Catherine's Breakwater and take a boat ride out to Les Ecréhous, a stunning network of reefs and islands just off the coast of Jersey. This protected area is home to a growing population of birds, including Great Cormorants and Oystercatchers. You might even spot a dolphin or two if it's your lucky day.

With St Martin being such a compact area, self-guided tours are a no-brainer. There's a little bit of something for everyone, from military history buffs to art lovers and nature enthusiasts. Adrenaline seekers will enjoy a wide range of activities, from kayaking to abseiling and even blokarting, a thrilling sport where go-karting meets kite-surfing.

Expedia has one of the most comprehensive choices of accommodation for St Martin in Jersey, from 'la vie de château' to beachside B&Bs. Stay in the picturesque fishing port of Gorey to have the majestic Mont Orgueil Castle at your doorstep. Or spend the night in the quiet Rozel Bay, a great springboard to explore the northern part of St Martin and its hidden dolmens.

While St Martin can be appreciated all year round, the most popular months to visit are from May to October when the sun is usually out and the temperatures reach their peak. In November, you can enjoy the traditional St Martin bonfire with its feeling of an old-fashioned village fête.
