Unfortunately, this walk mainly follows tarmac roads. Even though there is little traffic, this goes against the whole idea of a stroll in the countryside. The lovely views of the surrounding fields aren’t enough to make up for this shortcoming. It’s a real shame, especially as other walks in the area are far more interesting. This route seems to be aimed mainly at locals; there’s clearly no reason to travel from afar specifically for this one.

Yes, it’s a shame that the end of this route is often difficult during wet weather (due to tractors passing through).
Good waterproof walking boots are absolutely essential.

With this rainy start to spring, we were looking for walks on ‘dry’ ground. This route mainly follows tarmac roads, which seemed fine to us, but the final stretch was impassable due to the mud and the tractor tracks, which had carved out huge, water-filled ruts. We had to cut across the fields, climb over the barbed wire and wade through the mud to get back onto the tarmac. A shame, as the scenery is magnificent. A hike best done in summer.

A lovely walk in the countryside this morning; my only complaint is that there was too much tarmac and not enough paths, but it wasn’t a big deal
Unfortunately, nobody took any photos
