Secret Anchorages of Brittany provides concise pilotage directions for practically all the natural anchorages along the Brittany coast, from the Bay of Mont St Michel around to the great estuary of the Loire.

As with the first edition, the anchorages start near Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula and include the Iles Chausey, before entering Brittany waters near Cancale and following the full 300-mile coastline, with its rivers, estuaries and offshore islands, into every nook and cranny along the way.

This third edition includes many new anchorages and is lavishly illustrated in colour, with anchorage charts redrawn and verified against Admiralty or French SHOM charts. The pilotage sections are woven through with short features on the maritime traditions, life and history of this distinctive coast.

Peter Cumberlidge is a well-known writer and photographer who cruises widely under sail and power, and always returns to Brittany with affection. This new edition of Secret Anchorages reflects his fondness for the region, its people, and the superlative seafood for which the coast is justly renowned.
