A lovely, easy little walk. The route is varied, alternating between oak and pine woodland. Pretty undergrowth. A bit of walking through the sand – good for the calves! The highlight: spotting a roe deer, as well as a sow with her three adorable piglets!

Hello, and thank you for the route.

The banks of the waterway are lovely, with irises everywhere this spring, ducks, a stork and deer.
We took a slight detour to avoid the long, straight main road.
The forest sections are a bit of a slog when it’s all sand, but it’s great for building up your ankle strength!!!
