WALKS in MORBIHAN, Southern Brittany by G.H. Randall 36 circular walks - country, coastal and town - with full directions, schematic maps and background information to enable the general walker or holidaymaker to make the most of this remarkably varied and interesting region. Morbihan is the department that sits in the middle of southern Brittany. Its name, mor bihan, is Breton for ‘little sea’, a reference to the Gulf of Morbihan where hundreds of tiny islands are scattered across an area of calm water, connected to but sheltered from the Atlantic ocean. The department is well known for its neolithic remains, the most famous of which are the alignments at Carnac, and some of the walks pass lesser known but equally awe-inspiring sites. Others rely on the natural beauty of the countryside, the tranquillity of inland waterways or the everlasting fascination of the sea and coast to afford those images that make walks in Morbihan truly memorable. Out of print. Some copies remain on sale in Brittany - see list of stockists.
