Flottemanville-Hague walks

This hike allows you to discover the impressive Cherbourg harbour. It can be done on foot, but can also be a short family bike ride. The paths are accessible by bike everywhere and the route includes a large number of cycle paths. Despite the short distance, the climbs are not insignificant. The second part of the hike allows you to enjoy the relatively rural countryside and quaint corners around the town.

This hike starts in the centre of the town and circles around it, offering beautiful views from several high points scattered along the route.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Easy hike: no significant elevation gain, just enough to enjoy some nice views.

A beautiful loop passing through three of the most beautiful sites in La Hague. This beautiful route offers views of Goury and its lighthouse, Cap de la Hague with its stone walls, the superb Baie d'Ecalgrain surrounded by moors, and the cliffs of Nez des Voidries and Jobourg, offering magnificent views of the sea as far as the Channel Islands. The route continues through the bocage, dotted with pretty hamlets, and ends with a panoramic finish.

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.

This charming walk combines the Cotentin countryside (hedgerows, orchards, etc.) with a little historical heritage: wayside crosses (Romanesque period), tower mills (19th century) and a covered walkway (Neolithic period). Duration: 2½ hours, no more!
