Holidays in St. Martin
St Martin in Jersey is located on the north east of the island. A quieter Parish perfect for a peaceful Jersey Holiday. St Martin features lots of traditional farm architecture, particularly in the lanes around Rozel and St Catherine. Home to St Catherine is the Breakwater, a massive engineering feat, and Mont Orgueil Castle which was much loved by Sir Walter Raleigh whilst he was governor of the Island between 1600 and 1603. The harbour at Rozel is one of the most picturesque in the Island and there are three small coves Fliquet, La Coupe and Saie Harbour between St Catherine and Rozel.
St. Martin is one of the remaining strongholds of Jčrriais (the old language of Jersey, closely related to French) with a distinctive accent. The area around Faldouet formerly possessed a dialect of its own, known as Faldouais, although the Faldouais dialect is extinct, it has left notable amounts of writings in Jčrriais literature.
