Le Neufbourg walks
Via La Belle Eau from Mortain-Bocage
Although "Belle Eau" is the name of a hamlet located at the northernmost point of this route, hikers will be amazed from the outset by the water gushing through the rocks in magnificent waterfalls. The route continues along wide paths, often bathed by runoff water from the various branches of the Cance, and ends on a high note with the panorama offered at altitude 314, famous not only for its small chapel but also for the battles that took place there in August 1944.
In the footsteps of the potters of yore, starting from the Musée Le Placitre
A 6 km route starting from the Ceramics Museum – Ger Creative Centre. You can park in the museum car park when the museum is closed. Otherwise, please park in the field opposite to leave the car park for museum visitors (coaches). Woodland, sunken lanes and old pottery hamlets.

La Fosse Arthour in all its splendour

As far as Mausson Castle, staying within the Bazouge region
Tree-lined paths running alongside a river lead to the château. The return route mainly follows a winding path through the fields.
The Morinais route
Several quarries dot this route. Whether they are still in operation, such as the Morinais quarry, or partly overgrown with vegetation, they all seem to still echo with the hammering sounds of decades past.
The granite quarried here was used for roadworks, by funeral firms, and also in local architecture. The mysterious beauty of the Morinaye manor house and the typical rural houses in the villages you will pass through bear witness to this.
Landscapes and colours in the Monthault region
The Monthault Rock is a place where two faiths coexist: come and discover some Celtic legends which, thanks to the presence of distinctive rocks, have endured through the centuries, with the Chapel of Notre-Dame – the final stop on a Way of the Cross through the woods – as its neighbour.
