Deep in the heart of rural Normandy we are surrounded by a fantastic range of outdoor activities such as walking, fishing, golf, cycling, canoeing and horse riding and interesting places to visit. The area is famous for its cider, calvados and cheese and has an abundance of orchards, stunning meadows and picturesque scenery. Normandy was also the site of some of the fiercest world war II battles with the D-Day landings happening on the Normandy beaches and there is much here of historical interest.
