Forest d'Eawy, one of the largest sustainable forests in Europe, has numbers of wild boar, deer, badgers, red squirrel, buzzards and flora to interest. These are unlikely to be spotted in full daylight (try dawn or dusk, in silence, with plenty of patience), visit Cleres Zoological Park for guaranteed sightings. Riding and pony trekking can be arranged at the excellent stables in St. Saens.
The area was home to the V1 rocket project during World War II. The headquarters were at the nearby Chateau de Bosmelet with its award winning garden. It's just one of many gardens, historical sites and Chateaux to visit in the area.The 18 hole St Saens golf course is five minutes away by car, it rambles over a river valley and forested hillside surrounding the chateau clubhouse, membership is not required.
Nearby Rouen and Dieppe both have large commercial centres with great shopping opportunities. Paris, Eurodisney and the World War II Normandy landing beaches are within a couple of hours
