Walks in Finistère
You could scarcely put a foot wrong with these walks, the maps are so detailed they give almost a step-by-step guide to some of the richest walking routes in Brittany.
Walks in Finistère Wendy Mewes, Red Dog Books, £11.95 ISBN: 978-0-9568699-8-2
Starting in Roscoff, a town drivers often see only while whizzing past to or from the ferry, and finishing on Ouessant, the dozens of walks give a fascinating insight into the objects and buildings on the route. Even a walk on the Nantes-Brest canal takes on a different view as the writer suggests trying out the contra halage path on the other ‘secret’ side of the canal from the normal halage towpath.
