Description of the walk

Park next to the church in Millebosc, opposite the town hall.

(S/E) With your back to the church, turn right onto Rue de la Forêt and follow it to the junction with Rue de Nemours.
At the junction, turn right onto Rue de Nemours. Continue along this street until you reach the junction with Rue du Curé.
Turn right to walk alongside the cemetery. Follow this street until you reach the junction with Rue Adélaïde.

(1) Cross Rue Adélaïde and take the path opposite, at the Croix du Père Antime. Continue along this path until you reach the junction with the D126 at the calvary.

(2) Take the D126 on your left. Continue along this road and take the first path on the left. Follow this path straight ahead across the fields towards the Forêt d’Eu.

(3) Enter the forest and carry on straight ahead, staying on the same track, which, at the end, turns left and leads to the hamlet of La Tuilerie (Longroy).

(4) Once you reach the hamlet of La Tuilerie, continue along the Allée des Tilleuls until you reach the junction with the Route de la Forêt. Cross over and take the path opposite, which bends to the right.

(5) Take the first wide, flat path on your left. This path then becomes a narrow and very steep track. Keep going straight on. At the bottom of the path, you’ll arrive in the village of Longroy, on Chemin du Petit Mont.

(6) Walk down to the junction with Rue Jean Jaurès. Cross Rue Jean Jaurès with care (there’s a bend) and walk along it on your left. Then take Chemin Vide Bouteille on your right, which is opposite the entrance to the town hall.
Follow this path along the edge of the Bois de Longroy, which offers a lovely view of the ponds.

(7) Turn left. Carry on until you reach the junction with another path. At the junction, turn left.
Carry on straight ahead along this forest track, which climbs gently, ignoring the tracks to the right and left, until you reach the Route Forestière Adélaïde.

(8) Carry on to the left along the Route Adélaïde until you reach an inverted Fork in the road.

(9) Carry on straight ahead along the forest road, which curves to the left before reaching another Fork in the road. Then take the left-hand branch until you reach the Adélaïde memorial.

(10) Turn round and retrace your steps to the Fork in the road. Then continue slightly to the left until you reach the edge of the Bois de Longroy, where you’ll come to a junction with a tarmac road.
Take the road on your right across the plain and head for the village of Millebosc at the junction of Rue du Curé and Rue Adélaïde.

(1) Carry on straight along Rue Adélaïde until you reach the junction with Rue des Canadiens.
Turn right onto Rue des Canadiens. Follow this road until you reach the junction with Rue de la Forêt.
Turn right and you’ll be back at your starting point (S/E).

A lovely route.

Hello Lannel, there’s a discrepancy between your description and the route on the map.
Point 5: you arrive directly at Longroy Town Hall.
Point 6: The route on the map suggests turning left at the bottom of the path to go round the town hall and then take the Chemin Vide Bouteille. At no point does it go down to the junction with Rue Jean Jaurès, so a small amendment is needed.

Thank you, Lannel, for this route.
