Walking and Cycling in Normandy

This part of Normandy is known as 'The Bocage Area' and is renowned for its rolling hills and stunning country side.

As it is such a beautiful area it is often best to park up the car and put on your walking boots or hop onto your saddle and see it at your leisure, not out of the car window as you fly by. This is a common pass time in the area, especially on Sundays.

The most famous walk way and cycle path around us is the Voie Verte 'The Green Way' which is a disused railway track that runs from Normandy into Brittany. You can join this walk way in Brouains and make your way to Sourdeval or Mortain, or if you are feeling fit, Avranches or Vire. You pass through a number of villages en route so calls of nature, coffee or beer can be satisfied!

If this is not your cup of tea then there are a number of smaller routes, one of which runs past the cottage and takes you up into the small woods opposite and to a small chapel where the views of the village and surrounding area are breathtaking.
