Local activities in and around Dinan, Brittany
Brittany is an area of breathtaking natural beauty. The long coastline has rocky headlands, cliffs, island studded bays and beautiful sandy beaches. Inland is equally attractive. Castles, historic towns and ancient megaliths are sprinkled through the gentle hilly countryside.
A wide variety of interests are well catered for, including golf, fishing, all sorts of watersports, hiking and cycling.There is a good number of excellent golf courses a short drive away from the gite, including Dinard (founded in 1887), St Malo, Pen Guen (St Cast) and Sables D'Or at Cap Frehel. Perhaps the best course is located at Pléneuf Val André, which should be on every golfers 'must play' list. As the language can sometimes be a barrier , we can liaise with the course on your behalf and book tee times for you so your golf is all arranged before you arrive (small booking fee applies). The region is easily accessible from the UK with ferry ports at St Malo, Roscoff or Cherbourg and with Ryanair providing very low cost flights to Dinard. Dinan is perhaps the place where Medieval Brittany seems most alive and most real. Behind the ramparts the old centre of town vibrates with life. The sagging, cantilevered timber fronted dwellings leaning crazily on each other, still house merchants, though their trades may have changed. Rue Du Jerzual and Rue Du Petit Fort lead through one of the ancient town gates down to the Port, winding between two perfect rows of restored and protected artisans' houses.
On the Port you can sit and watch the world go by from one of the riverside cafes and restaurants, take a boat trip to the old citadel port of St. Malo or hire a self drive boat and explore the delightful river Rance. The more energetic may prefer to walk or cycle up or down the towpath. Ten minutes upstream is the picturesque village of Lehon with its own castle, twelfth century abbey and open air heated swimming pool complex.
