Stunning views
St Aubin renowned for being one of the prettiest town and harbour in Jersey lying-up directly opposite St Helier across the sandy crescent of St Aubin’s Bay, surpassed its larger neighbour in importance throughout the 18th century. This superior position resulted from the marvellous harbour facilities constructed there between 1754-1819, where, at one point in the 18th century, some 150 ‘pirated’ French ships had been captured and moored in the harbour, at that time under the command of Sir George Carteret. There is much irony in the acknowledgement that St Aubin took its name from a 6th century bishop of Angers, who was the patron saint and protector of those vulnerable to piracy.
The town owed much of its thriving commercial success in the 18th century to its indulgent treatment of ‘privateers’.
St Aubin’s harbour as it is today is a very different prospect from the 18th century and is now a popular holiday venue, it bustles now with the movement of small yachts and cruisers, and the Royal Channel Islands Yacht Club is located there. Standing a little offshore, but accessible at certain low tides, is St Aubin’s Fort. Built in 1542, during the reign of Henry VIII (1509-47), as a bastion against sea raiders, the fort’s long history is littered with periods of renovation and rebuilding. A major period of rebuilding occurred in 1840 and again, a hundred years later, the structure underwent considerable re-fortification during the Nazi occupation. A visit to St Aubin’s Fort is certain to be rewarded by the marvelous views on offer from its ramparts, a sweeping panoramic seascape taking in the delightful profile of Elizabeth Castle, reclining on the opposite side of the Bay.
