I only did part of this walk, just to stretch my legs and my dog’s paws whilst on holiday. Setting off from (2), we headed straight to (4) along a path and then a stretch of road, before going on to (3), (1), and back to (2). A lovely little chapel at the start, the whole walk in the shade on this hot day, a lovely pond for the dog to have a swim in, and, as a bonus, a few mushrooms! The path was very well signposted; we were all alone in the woods, and I regretted not having enough time to do the whole walk.
