Central Brittany is the land which tourism forgot. Big blue open skies illuminating the wonderful patchwork of green fields, glorious deciduous woodlands, rolling hills and stunning coastlines and beaches. In the field opposite our holiday cottage at Trévenec the maize waves gently in the breeze awaiting the harvest. Yet only 5 minutes away is one of the most extraordinary heritage sites in Europe, with giant statues of Breton Saints situated on a hilltop known to Romans and Celts looking out over a wonderful 360- degree panorama!
Also within easy reach are Roman aqueducts, Napoleonic canals, the long distance cycle track where the railway once ran, markets in local towns on every day of the week, chateaux, museums, theme parks, famous towns like Concarneau, Quimper, Morlaix, Lannion, Perros-Guirec, Dinan and everywhere places to walk, cycle, or just to relax.Traffic remains unbelievably light, - on some journeys we pass only one vehicle a mile and the English carpet fitter tells us about a friend who brings his Jag over from England every so often just for the pleasure of driving on empty roads. There are quiet moorlands like Dartmoor, the ruins of ancient abbeys, menhirs and tumuli strewn across the landscape, old chateaux, wonderful churches with parochial enclosures and everywhere clear-running streams and lakes with little beaches for hot summer days. And just 35 minutes away are some of the finest beaches in Brittany near the delightful port of Locquirec. Créperies, seafood restaurants and local produce abound to delight every taste.
