This route involves too much walking along the road, even though it’s not very busy – especially if you’re doing it with your dog. Bear in mind that the end isn’t very clear; you need to take the footbridge path to finish. ☺️

There’s a lot of road over the 13 km. Barely 2 km of footpath. What a shame.
On the other hand, there are three lovely chapels, often tucked away in the countryside.
Enjoy the walk.

We had a lovely, peaceful day, despite a few showers
We didn’t see a soul during the walk, so we enjoyed being alone in the countryside
