Product Description
Product Description
Enjoy the 'quiet' roads of Brittany, following old railway tracks and canal tow-paths.
Major engineering achievements in their time, Brittany's waterways and narrow gauge railways could not compete with an improving road system. Overlooked and neglected for decades, these ready-made arterial routes have recently been revived as 'Green Ways', a major leisure resource and network of cycle paths right across Brittany, free from motor traffic.
This guide maps the major part of the current network of Green Way routes, shows how Green Ways integrate with roads, logs the facilities in place, shows the liaisons with other leisure routes and circuits for walkers and cyclists and provides a directory of overnight accommodation.
Also included are gradient profiles, details of places of interest nearby, a distance chart and journey planner and a list of all the Green Way routes.
For historical interest there is a chapter on the Railways of Brittany, their development and decline, as well as a map showing the currently operating railway system alongside the now defunct lines, many of which have become Green Ways.
