Bricquebec walks

A walk to discover Bricquebec and the countryside around the Trappist abbey.

This walk around Rocheville gives pride of place to paths and small roads. It passes through the Bois de la Grande Roche, the Bois de la Petite Roche and its covered walkway, which are real curiosities in the area. There are many passages through woods or forests, which are fairly sheltered from the sun and allow you to discover a slightly wilder side of the Cotentin. Some passages can be a little damp depending on the season, and hiking boots are recommended to prevent slipping.

A long walk through the Normandy countryside to reach the coast and the coastal path. You will pass by the Château de Flamanville, the Dolmen de la Pierre au Rey overlooking Cap de Flamanville and the beaches of Anse de Sciotot. At the top of the Roche à Coucou, you will have a beautiful view of the entire bay.

A beautiful, easy hike between the seaside and the countryside with magnificent views, particularly those of Cap du Rozel overlooking Anse de Sciotot to the north and the long beach between Surtainville and Cap de Carteret to the south.

Starting from the port of Barneville, set off to explore the Dunes of Hatainville, an exceptional and unspoilt natural area. The route is enhanced by two orientation tables located on hilltops offering beautiful views of the coast. Updated in 2025: See Practical InformationGPS or the Visorando app are highly recommended!

This route follows the road, then crosses the village before taking sandy or stone paths with views of the Hatainville dunes, the cape, the old church, the lighthouse, the harbour, etc.

On the west coast of the Cotentin, from wild dunes to cultivated dunes, you will encounter a wide variety of environments in a largely unspoilt area. At the edge of the dunes, overlooking the harbour of Portbail, the trail offers magnificent views.

Magnificent coastal path to discover the semaphore, the cliffs of Cap de Flamanville and the large sandy beach of Sciotot. Return via the landscaped park opposite the castle.

Between woods and the seaside, this hike requires waterproof shoes after rain (risk of mud).There is little elevation gain but a variety of terrain: a section of paved road, a coastal path and a sandy section.

The path follows part of the GPR® to Ecalgrain Bay, then passes through the Faye tunnel (bring a torch) before descending to the GR®. This alternative route allows you to see the remains of a Second World War structure and offers a beautiful view of Goury and its remote location.

A tour of the land of Millet (you know... L'Angélus, Les Glaneuses, paintings of rural life in the 19th century) and Prévert. Hamlets and villages typical of the northern Cotentin region. Take theGR®223, a fairly high customs path, which allows you to discover the Cherbourg harbour, jagged cliffs, cormorants drying themselves on the islets of Hablet, the abandoned Cotentine farm, the ruins of a medieval fort and finally a bird's eye view of the small port of Le Hâble. A hike to remember!

Hike showing different aspects of this northern part of La Hague. Port, beautiful coastal landscapes, typical village and paths through the woods, a manor house that was a former seigneurial farm inthe 16th century.

The natural site of the Nez de Jaubourg and the path along its cliffs offer magnificent views of the sea, the west coast of the Cotentin peninsula and the Channel Islands. This loop offers a superb route along the cliff path and through the hedged farmland dotted with charming hamlets.

This route offers two aspects of this commune. The first part takes you through the countryside along farm tracks, where you can admire the rich architecture dominated by the Manoir d'Imbranville and the church of Gouberville. The second part is along the coast, where numerous blockhouses punctuate the coastal path.

A long walk between the sea and the marshes, then through the Normandy countryside, discovering a miraculous fountain and the beautiful watermill where the Norman poet Marie Ravenel lived.
