*************

Trinity (French: La Trinité, Jèrriais: La Trinneté) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is 5.8 kilometres (3.6 mi) north of St Helier.[a] It has a population of 3,156.[4] The parish covers 6,975 vergées (12.3 km2 (4.7 sq mi)).[5] Les Platons in the north of the parish is the highest point in Jersey. The parish borders St John, St Helier, St Saviour and St Martin.

Trinity is an agricultural, rural parish, with only 16% of the parish being built-up, and 61% dedicated to cultivation.[5] The population is generally spread out across the whole parish, with a loosely defined village towards the north of the parish. The parish's main bay is Bouley Bay, a short distance from the village. A section of Rozel Bay is also shared with neighbouring St Martin. It is home to the States Farm, Jersey Zoo, the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society Showground, and the Pallot Heritage Steam Museum.

The parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the only island parish church not dedicated to a saint. The coat of arms of the Parish of Trinity shows the Shield of the Trinity diagram.

Trinity is in the north of the island. It borders St John, St Helier, St Saviour and St Martin. It has two main bays, Bouley Bay and Rozel (on the border with St Martin). It has the highest point of the Grands Vaux valley, which terminates at its parish church. The highest point of the island, Les Platons, is located in the north of Trinity.

Bouley Bay

Bouley Bay (French: Baie de Boulay) is a bay located on the north coast in the centre of the parish. In the Extente of 1274, the bay was recorded as Portus de Boley (Bouley Harbour). It has some of the deepest waters off the island's coast. In the 19th-century it was considered for developing the main harbour for the island, but it was probably ruled out as impracticable because of the steep hills surrounding the bay. The steep and winding hill plays host annually to the Bouley Bay Hill Climb.[10]

Settlements

Trinity Village is the main settlement in the parish. Victoria Village is located on the border with Trinity.

Trinity Village is a relatively small and loosely defined village of homes spreading out from the parish church along the parish's main roads in a form of ribbon development. The A8 and B31 main roads run through the village. Recent development has centralised the village around the church. The village has a small, independent store, as well as a pub and youth centre.

As a parish, Trinity has historically been resistant to speed limits and traffic calming schemes. For example, the parish has declined to introduce the green lane scheme with 15 mile per hour limits and priority to pedestrians and cyclists on its by-roads.[11] The village had no specific lower speed limit until 2013, but now some parts of village have a 30mph speed limit. The northern area of the village still has a 40mph speed limit. There is no traffic calming or pedestrian crossings in the village.
