FINDING OUR VISITOR CENTRE
We are nestled in the heart of Jersey in an area called Victoria Village, within the Parish of Trinity.
Address
Eric Young Orchid Foundation, La Rue du Moulin de Ponterrin, Victoria Village, Trinity, Jersey JE3 5HH
Follow the brown tourist signs from the main roads in Trinity. Our GPS coordinates are 49.216148, -2.084397 or you can find us on Google Maps. We have ample free parking.
There are several options to arrive by bus from Saint Helier. Route 21 arrives straight into Victoria Village, with the Foundation a short walk from the bus stop. Route 4 will drop you on the Route de la Trinite (A8), from there it’s a 20-30min walk which does involve a steep hill. Routes 3 and 13 will take you to Durrell, and from there we are a 30-40min walk on the flat. See the Liberty Bus website for timetables
OTHER NEARBY ATTRACTIONS
You are very welcome to stay as long as you like with us. However, an average visit usually lasts about an hour. We are nestled in the heart of the beautiful parish of Trinity. Why not combine your visit with a nearby attraction. A little further afield brings you to the glorious, rugged north coast with its hidden coves, or the golden sands of Royal Bay of Grouville guarded by Mont Orgueil Castle.
