Pink Granite Coast
More than thirty kilometres of the north Brittany coast where the rocks are a warm pink granite, worn by sea and wind into strange shapes. The coastal path around Ploumanac'h and Trégastel winds between great boulders and small sandy coves.

Near Pink Granite Coast
Pointe du Raz 134 km
A rocky promontory at the far western end of Brittany, reaching out into the Atlantic. From its cliffs the sea runs fast and rough through the strait towards the Île de Sein, with a lighthouse out on the reefs.
Mont-Saint-Michel 151 km
A rocky tidal island off the coast of Normandy, crowned by a Benedictine abbey. At high tide the sea surrounds it, at low tide the bay empties into sand flats, and a single narrow street climbs between old houses to the abbey church.
Carnac Stones 153 km
More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones near the south coast of Brittany, the largest such collection in the world. Hewn from local granite by the pre-Celtic people of the region, they run in long rows across the fields, among dolmens and burial mounds.
Belle-Île 180 km
The largest of Brittany's islands, 14 kilometres off the Quiberon peninsula. Monet painted the rocks of its wild western coast, and its harbour town of Le Palais sits below a star-shaped citadel.
Eden Project 181 km
Giant greenhouse domes set in a reclaimed china clay pit in Cornwall, run by the charity the Eden Trust. Inside its biomes grow plants from around the world, including a rainforest under the largest of the domes.
Dartmoor 184 km
An upland of open moorland in southern Devon, protected as a national park since 1951 and covering 954 square kilometres. Granite tors break the skyline, and ponies roam free across the moor.
Pointe du Hoc 191 km
A promontory with a 35-metre cliff overlooking the English Channel on the Normandy coast. Its grassy headland is still pitted with craters and broken concrete from the Second World War, and a granite memorial stands at the tip.

A tidal island in Mount's Bay, reached from Marazion by a granite causeway passable between mid-tide and low water. A castle and chapel crown its summit, home to the St Aubyn family since around 1650, and at high tide boats carry people across.
