be used to reach Howard Davis Park. This park is laid out quite formally, with lovely rose gardens, and is well used by locals and visitors. A memorial building tells the story behind the park.
The Parish Church of St Helier stands in the centre of the town
Roads lead down to the sea and a slipway at Le Dicq. The road called Havre des Pas runs past modern developments, but in previous years the scene was quite different. Fort d’Auvergne once stood here and the area was notable for shipbuilding. Ships were constructed on the beaches and either floated off on the high tides, or launched from wooden slides. When the tide is out, rocky reefs appear and careful seamanship is required to navigate around them. A promenade path can be followed round to La Collette, where barracks are surrounded by flowery gardens. La Collette Gardens rise steeply onto the wooded rise of Mount Bingham, which is all parkland and paths. The area also features a towering power station chimney, a prominent landmark.
