Coatmallouen
The forest of Coat Mallouen is littered with huge granite boulders and bizarre rock formations. This cave overlooks the ‘cascade’, a point in the river where the water tumbles over a waterfall strewn with rocks. The forest served as a hide-out for the famous ‘Coatmallouen Maquis’, a group of 300 resiters during the 2nd World [...]
Chapelle Saint-Guenole
This picturesque little chapel is just outside the village of Plourac’h. In ruins until recently, it has now been fully restored. The photo (left) was taken when the apple blossom was out, one of the prettiest times to visit the chapel.
Chapelle Saint-Eugene
The Chapelle St-Eugene is in the commune of Seglien, close to the river Sarre.
The site is exceptionally beautiful, with several huge oak trees colse by and a stone fontaine which has been recently renovated.
The chapel itself is very picturesque, and adds to the beauty of the spot.
Le Champignon
This odd rock is opposite the Intermarche car park in Huelgoat.
The huge rock balances on a small one, giving it the appearance of a mushroom. What’s more – it is at the very centre of a steep rocky hillock – how could it have got there?
Huelgoat is a bit of a Mecca for stone enthusiasts [...]
Menez Plat – Lanrivain
A giant’s sandwich…?
This superb natural rock formation is on the road between Lanrivain and St-Nicolas-du-Pelem. There is the small hamlet of Menez Plat, and (coming from Lanrivain)the rock is on the right, in a field.
Although slightly surrounded by brambles, I managed to climb underneath the rock, discovering a narrow, flat cave… awesome.
There are also interesting [...]
