'Paget Parish' is one of the nine parishes of
Bermuda. It is named for
William Paget, 4th Baron Paget de Beaudesert (1572-1629).
It is located in the central south of the island chain, immediately south of
Hamilton Harbor on the main island. It is joined to
Warwick Parish in the southwest, and
Devonshire Parish in the northeast. As with most of Bermuda's parishes, it covers just over 2.3 square miles (about 6.0 km² or 1500 acres).
Natural features in Paget include Hamilton Harbor,
Coral Beach,
Elbow Beach, and
Grape Bay, as well as
Salt Kettle, a peninsula which protects the approach to Hamilton Harbour, and
Hinson's Island, which though geographically closer to Warwick Parish, is part of Paget.The islands only hospital, King Edward VII Memorial, is in Paget.
Other notable features of Paget include the
Bermuda College and the Bermuda Division of the British Red Cross.
