Gorey, Jersey

Gorey (French: Gouray; Jèrriais: Gouôrray) is a village in the parishes of St Martin and Grouville, vingtaines of Faldouet and Marais, on the east coast of Jersey.

The main centre of the village is located at Gorey Pier near Mont Orgeuil Castle, a 13th-century fortification, in St Martin, while there is a small community with a few shops and restaurants.

[4] The pier below the castle has been the site of the annual Fête de la Mer (seafood gastronomic festival) until 2010,[5] and also contains an interpretation centre exhibiting the history and environment of the area.

Gorey Pier is the eastern terminus of the A3 La Rue à Don, which is the main road linking the village to Grouville Church and to St Helier.

A cycle path was constructed along the side of La Rue à Don in Gorey in 2011 in a move to link the village to the local primary school.

The Eastern Railway formerly terminated at Gorey Pier.
