What are some less-explored areas near Bayeux?

Northwest of Bayeux, the Cotentin peninsula remains one of Normandy’s less-explored corners, where you can escape the crowds on rambling coastal hikes and park your campervan in pint-sized fishing villages. Nearby, the rocky coast of Cap de la Hague is an unsung highlight, but nothing compares with the iconic sight of Mont St Michel at the southwestern tip of the peninsula.
