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.

By Public Bus

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

By Bicycle

Enjoy the beautiful countryside by taking cycle routes 3a or 7 (maps available from the Tourist Information Office). Cycle racks are provided on-site.

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.
