수빌-헤이그‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

This ancient tomb is partly collapsed. A covered walkway was always covered with stones or earth. What you can see now is what remains of the structure of this Neolithic monument. This dolmen is dated 4,500 years before present time. You have a beautiful 360 degree view when you are on site.

The Pierres Pouquelées are a Neolithic covered walkway dating around 4500 BC. There is a beautiful view of Vauville and the Manche The covered walkway faces north-west/south-east. Very ruined, it is currently 14.50 m long for an interior width of about 1.25 m and an exterior width of 2.40 m for a height under the table of 1.20 m. The entrance appears to be sideways to the southwest. The slabs are in quartz sandstone, except for two cover tables which are in granite and probably come from a site 3 km away, located at sea level. The covered walkway was excavated in 1755, before the covering tables were removed, by the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg. At the beginning of the 19th century (around 1830), the cover tables were recovered by the inhabitants in order to build a bridge. Alerted, the sub-prefect of Valognes ordered it to be put back in place, but the blocks were simply deposited on the site: they are certainly those lying on the ground a few meters from the alley1. A good part of the orthostats disappeared in 1833.

In 1947, a few hundred meters from the sea, around a country house whose keep is the only remnant of a 12th-century fortress, the Pellerin family laid out a 4-hectare garden. The garden has continued to evolve and now features more than 1,200 plant species, all of which are evergreens native to most of the southern hemisphere.

Shaded section of the tour

Very high and in the long run also strenuous dunes to climb... but worth every step

Who undertakes the hike with a dog: Dogs (even on a leash) are not allowed in the nature reserve. Unfortunately, this was not mentioned in our hiking guide, so we had to switch to the beach, where you are not allowed to be with the dog at certain times. So it's best not to walk here in the high season and in the middle of the day.
