Notes

This Route No. 13 of the Four Rivers Tourist Trail in Bray is marked in blue from start to finish.
It is excellent for training young children.

Caution: at (1), on the uphill section, there is a water run-off and it is very muddy in wet weather.
At (4), the path is very muddy, with a rather tricky section. Near the ponds, in wet weather, the path is completely flooded and you’ll need to wade through water 20 cm above your ankles.

Worth a visit

The 12th-century Saint-Manvieu Church, remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Between 4 and 5, the path is indeed poorly maintained but is still visible.

Thanks, Martin

It is actually between points 4 and 5 that the problem lies.

A lovely walk through the Bray countryside towards the charming village of Molagnie.
Lovely sunken paths covered in branches
Blackberries in abundance

The only drawback is that between points 3 and 4 there is a poorly maintained path, part of which crosses a wetland – make sure you wear good wellies if it has rained.
