Explore Branville-hague, Manche, Basse-Normandy

This 41-kilometre loop sometimes follows steep trails. This part of the peninsula, made of stones and heather, looks like the end of the world. Exceptional sites and breathtaking landscapes will accompany you throughout this circuit. Possible departures from all car parks: Church of Jobourg, Hameau Gruchy in Gréville-Hague, Church of Sainte-Croix-Hague, beach towards the Fort in Vauville

The tour passes through unique moorland landscapes. It presents many technical difficulties and therefore requires a good command of mountain biking.

The first part of this 22 km stage runs along the top of the dunes in Biville, looking out to sea. (If you prefer, you can leave the GR and walk along the beach on the coastal right-of-way). The sea makes way for this magnificent dune landscape, measuring more than 10 km in length and 500 m in width. A listed Natural Zone of Interest for Ecology, Flora and Fauna, this protected area is home to 183 identified plant and animal species. Please protect this fragile natural environment: no camping or campfires. The path then heads back to the sea as you arrive in Siouville-Hague, a top surfing town. Take the opportunity to try this activity at the Cotentin Surf Club. The GR then heads towards Dielette harbour, before turning left to go round the nuclear power station in Flamanville, built on the site of an old iron mine. In Flamanville, enjoy a stroll in the park of the château, which is accessible free of charge all year round. In the distance, you can see Flamanville headland. From the top of the cliffs, culminating at 89 m above sea level, there’s an incredible view of the huge beach in Sciotot. You’ll go past the buildings of an old French navy semaphore dating back to 1867. It has been restored and is now a restaurant and a stopover gîte that’s very popular with hikers. The finish is further down, on the fine sandy beach of Sciotot. This is a great spot to watch the surfers hitting the waves and to admire the sun setting over the sea.

This 18 km stage will take you along the customs officers’ path, where you’ll discover different buildings that were once used to watch the coastline. Enjoy a coffee on the picturesque harbour in Omonville-la-Rogue before heading west across the pebbles. Note: take care when walking, as the plovers often nest in the wrack line. Next, you’ll walk between the sea and the fields, going over several stiles. Take a break at the old semaphore at the Pointe de Jardeheu. Now a gîte, this site has fantastic views of the sea and the rugged coastline of La Hague, and is a great place to enjoy one of the gorgeous sunsets. The coastal path goes past rocky coves to the beach in Saint-Martin bay, and ends in Plainvic inlet. Carry on along the coast until you get to the D45, after a few steps. Turn right onto the path to Port Racine a picturesque site that’s full of charm. This little harbour is said to be the smallest in France, at just 800 m², with an 11 m opening between the two jetties. Carry on along the coastal path and head down to the right, past the fort and the Roche Gélétan. After going over several stiles, you’ll reach the semaphore, then the bunker. Walk across the pebbles again until you get to Goury harbour, known for its busy lifeboat station and numerous sea rescue operations. From here, you can see La Hague lighthouse, built to signal the Alderney race, one of the most powerful ocean currents in Europe. Enjoy the wild and unspoilt landscapes that look rather like Ireland. From Goury harbour, head left between the dry stone walls towards La Roche hamlet. Go past the old lavoir (wash house), then follow the path that winds its way to Écalgrain bay. Once again, there are some spectacular views from the top of the cliffs, looking out to sea and along the coastline. When you reach the D401, turn right onto the path to avoid the road, go across the car park below and take the little bridge over the stream. Then head up the path on the right and go over Les Vaux stream. You’ll go past the superb Cul Rond cove, before climbing up to the old semaphore at Nez de Voidries, your destination! Enjoy a well-earned rest with a fantastic view!

Various hamlets are crossed and in particular that of La Plume or Crasville, the oldest village of Teurtheville-Hague, picturesque with its houses with arched openings, its chamfered windows and its wash-house, the Baudron bridge.

A few steps from the Cherbourg town, this bocage circuit will surprise you with its quietness and the diversity of its sites and viewpoints over the Divette valley.
