Park in the car park by the sea at Port du Hâble.
(S/E) Leave the port and take the path between the restaurant and the sailing school, following a small stream on the right, the Vallace. Turn right onto the D45 for 50 m and then left onto the small path marked in yellow. At the end, first turn left then right onto Rue de la Place.
(1) At the church, take the street on the left, then Rue des Cannivières on the right, which further on becomes a path running alongside the Vallace. As you pass through Omonville, take time to admire the beautiful houses and the distinctive character of this village at the tip of the Cotentin Peninsula. Cross the river, and the path climbs up to a paved road. Follow it for a few metres to the left, then turn right at the fork to take the uphill path (Chemin des Moulins).
(2) In this wooded area, follow the Vallace stream. You will reach a crossroads.
(3) Take the path on the left, crossing the stream over a small bridge. Climb the steep slope. Cross the D45 at the Croix du Tourp with caution and great care (there is a lot of fast traffic).
(4) Turn right towards the Manoir du Tourp. Continue along the manor house on the path towards Éculleville, cross the Épine stream and after a short descent, the path climbs again and reaches a barrier on the left.
(5) Leave the path to go through the gate and follow the path downhill along the Épine d'Hue valley until you reach the coastal path.
Once on the coastal path, you can continue a little further on, to the Pointe du Cormoran for the view (narrow path often overgrown with ferns).
(6) Take the GR®223 on the left, taking care as some areas may be slippery. Pass the ruins of the Cotentine farm, the Pointe d'Étimbert and climb to the top of the fort overlooking the Port du Hâble. Turn right and descend (steep slope) towards the entrance to the fort (private property).
(7) At the bottom, continue left along the shore to return to the Port du Hâble car park (S/E).
