About
The Toëno area, which shows evidence of the granite extraction work of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is also a marshland of outstanding ecological value. If you visit at low tide, you will probably see people gathering shellfish on the foreshore. When the area was being mined, the quarrymen would extract bluish-grey granite from the large mound and transport it to the ports on the Channel by barge.
