Millsant

Millsant is a settlement located on the southern coast of Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands. It is situated approximately 5 miles southwest of Jersey's capital, St Helier. Millsant is bounded by the sea to the south and west, and by the Roe Farm holiday camp to the north and east.

Historically, Millsant was uninhabited due to its coastal location and the surrounding marshy terrain. However, in the 1970s, a number of homes were built in the area as part of a state-led development initiative. Many of these early homes have since been redeveloped, with modern dwellings constructed in their place.

Today, Millsant remains a relatively small and rural settlement. It boasts a limited number of amenities, including a community centre that offers various activities and services for its residents. The settlement's proximity to St Helier and its picturesque coastal views make it a popular destination for beachgoers and those seeking a tranquil retreat from city life.

Millsant has seen an influx of residents in recent years, driven in part by the British government's Channel Island Housing Recovery Strategy. Many of these new residents are drawn to the area's natural beauty and relaxed pace of life. The settlement's population continues to grow, with estimates suggesting a significant increase in the number of residents over the coming years.

Despite its growth, Millsant remains a secluded and picturesque corner of the island, offering an affordable alternative to more expensive areas of Jersey.
