An outright winner from the outset, this walk is simply
stunning. The dramatic scenery, wealth of colours and
mediaeval influences distinguish it from all other holidays in our
programme.
During the first few days of your holiday, you will be walking
along the magnificent paths that hug the northern coast. It’s a
landscape of pinky-gold cliffs, secret coves, deserted, heatherbacked
beaches and traditional Breton fishing villages
untouched by tourism. It is perfect for exploring on foot and, at
every turn, you’re rewarded with fabulous panoramic views of
the entire Emerald Coast.
Heading inland, the route takes you along the banks of the river
Rance and on through the majestic Hunaudaye Forest.
Highlights include the feudal Fort de la Latte and the beautiful
stone-crafted town of Dinan. In the Middle Ages, Dinan served
as one of the main strategic strongholds of the Duchy of Brittany
and much of her mediaeval charm remains today.
The hotels you stay in are full of contrasts too and include a
lovely seaside hotel in Sables d’Or-Les-Pins and a superbly
located 3-star hotel built into the ramparts in the heart of
historic Dinan.
For more infomation about this holiday, including hotel descriptions, travel options and full holiday itinerary, please see our new 'further details' section.
I continue to be impressed by the quality of the organisation that goes in Headwater holidays.
