Hello,
I did the "Catteville Farm and its surroundings" circuit, 9.57 km.
It's a very beautiful and interesting route. However, I think that access to point 8 can be avoided as it runs alongside the D53, which is uninteresting.
It would be better to retrace our steps to point 6 after seeing the islet, a pretty sight at point 7.
Then follow the railway line to reach point 9, Ocqueville Town Hall.
You can also turn right after point 6 and take the Merdon road on the left.
This is just a suggestion.
Best regards.
D. Fleutry

A very pleasant walk (despite the rainy weather) that allowed us to discover Ocqueville and the surrounding countryside. The route mainly follows roads, but they are very quiet so it's not a problem at all. No particular difficulties. I recommend it for those who enjoy peace and quiet and green surroundings.

Well explained overall. One small drawback: difficulty finding Rue des Tisserants (no street name where you turn left). It would be better to say to take the first left after crossing the main road.

An easy, pleasant and enjoyable hike.
Mainly on small roads with no traffic connecting the pretty village of Ocqueville and its hamlets.
The highlight of this hike? Catteville Castle and its island. A wonderful surprise!
The planted embankments and the thatched cottages dotted here and there are sure to impress.
Thank you, Visorando, for this lovely walk.
