- Clare095London, UK55 contributionsLovely waterfalls, we park in le Nerfboug and walk down both waterfalls and walk back up through the town, takes about an hour for the round walk then we go to Labbaye restaurant across the road for a fab very good value lunch.Written 12 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BigDave146Warfield, UK27 contributionsBeautiful place to visit. The history of Mortain is fascinating, and the little chapel at the top is perched on the edge of the hill. The view from behind it is amazing, you can see all the way to Mont St Michel, Avranches and many miles in the distance on a clear day. Its a nice place to go for a short walk with the dogs and family.
You should make sure you Google the story of Mortain and Hill 314 in WW2 as it is an amazing story and makes you think alot when you are visiting there.Written 12 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This tour is not for the faint hearted who have no knowledge of monastic life and a poor grasp of French. You will see the cloisters, the abbey church and the chapter house but the bulk of the visit is a very erudite talk by the guide about the history of the buildings and the people who occupied them, with significant asides into Norman history and the genaeology of the rulers of this part of the world.
If you are an avid reader of Brother Cadfael and have a reasonable interest in church architecture (and reasonable French) you will enjoy this!Written 6 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
