Gascony provides some great walking countryside through an undulating terrain of woods, fields and vineyards - and with interesting towns and villages not too far apart.

In the following pages, accessible only from this one, we have provided some basic information about a number of local walks and also the 'Coeur de Gascogne' walk, which takes six days!
