Bois des Roches from Rocheville
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.
