    ficent Bay of St. Ouen opens to vlew^ and con- trasts well with the minute inlets dignified with the title of bays on the northern coast. In re- turning towards St. Heliers, the beautiful Bay of St. Brelade is passed, with the old church near the water side. The village of St. Aubin is the last place of note on this route. This town was once the principal seat of the commerce of the island. It is most picturesquely placed at one extremity of the noble bay, which is bounded at the other by St. Heliers, and the two for- tresses, Elizabeth Castle, and Fort Regent. The town is defended by a circular battery, accessible at low water. It is almost four miles from St. Heliers, and is much frequented by visitors and others desirous of escaping from the more bustling streets of the latter town.
