The Saints' Shore Way (SSW) is a walking route in Brittany of about 125kms between Roscoff and Lannion, via Morlaix. It covers a spectacular section of Brittany's famous coast, mostly using the GR34. The concept picks up the idea of the Saints' Way in Cornwall, a much shorter walking trail envisaging the route taken by holy men during the Dark Ages on their way to the continent from Wales and Ireland, crossing the Cornish peninsula from Padstow to Fowey and then embarking for France.
The themes of the SSW cover this and many other connections between Britain and Brittany through the ages, as well as nature, the environment and local history.

The guidebook for the SSW will be available in April 2013 with detailed maps, direction notes and full background information about all there is to see and do along the way.
