Nature and Trails
The VéloWestNormandy route, which connects the D-Day landing beaches with Mont Saint-Michel, passes through Sourdeval. The Vélomaritime route, which runs from Roscoff to Dunkirk, also passes through the town.
The Voie verte Sourdeval–Mortain is an 18.1 km-long, very easy route. The Haute Vallée de la Sée circular trail passes old mills, spawning grounds and blueberry forests.
The Beauvais circular trail follows the Voie verte through green landscapes where water is omnipresent.
Culture and History
The 7.850 km-long watercourse L’Yeurseul was used to power local industry.
The La voie romaine et le chemin royal circular trail passes through the Bois de Bellevue, where several dozen metres of visible paving have been preserved as rare Roman remains.
The Circuit de Bellevue leads to the Voie Romaine; its remains can be seen at the edge of the forest.
