Walking and RamblingThere is an extensive
network of well established trails that cover the countryside, the forest
and the coast. All routes have marked trails that are easy to follow and
cater for all abilities. We have maps with routes marked ranging from
shorter 5km walks to longer 12km walks.
Throughout the summer there are locally organized walks every Monday evening, setting off from a pre-arranged point, usually a local village hall or church car park. These walks are very enjoyable and a chance to meet French people and see some of the countryside that is off the beaten track. |
