Description of the walk

Departure from the church car park in Critot.

(S/E) With your back to the church and cemetery, head towards Rue du Bois d'Yclon. Carefully cross the D12 and continue straight ahead along the same street. Walk along the railway line, leave the street before it passes under the railway line and continue along the path to reach the D15.

(1) Take this road on the right, cross the railway line at the level crossing and you will come to a crossroads.

(2) Continue straight ahead for 150 metres until you reach the next fork.

(3) Leave the D15 and turn slightly right onto Chemin du Mont Joyet towards the wind turbines.

(4) Pass through the wind farm and continue to a crossroads.

(5) Continue right onto Rue de Caux until you reach the centre of the hamlet of Bosc-Bérenger.

(6) Just before the town hall, turn right onto Chemin le Village until you reach a fork in the road.

(7) Continue straight ahead on Rue de Caux (D96). Cross the D12 carefully. Cross the A28 via the road bridge and continue for 1 km until you reach a crossroads.

(8) Turn right onto the D98 for 300 metres until you reach a fork in the road.

(9) Turn right onto Rue de Bosquet. Pass under the A28, cross the railway line at the level crossing and continue for about 400 metres until you reach a path on the left.

A pleasant hike. Easy. Practically flat. Lots of tarmac, but welcome when the paths are wet, and the roads were very quiet on this Sunday morning. We had very strong winds on the section between the hamlet of Bertramesnil and Bosc Béranger (the most beautiful part), where the wind turbines are located (very quiet).

A very pleasant hike, surrounded by plains and pretty brick buildings. We've done it before and will definitely do it again! Highly recommended in heavy rain, as there are lots of quiet tarmac roads and the sections across the plains aren't too muddy! It's a bit windy, but the wind turbines aren't located along the route by chance...

A nice, easy walk. Not much shade, but perfect for a very chilly winter's day.
