Park at the Boulon washhouse car park.
(Out and back) From the car park at the wash house, head towards the crossroads, passing in front of the church; cross the road carefully to take Rue Godet and follow it to the end. At the junction where there is a blue signpost marked ‘Parcours du patrimoine – Boulon au Moyen Âge’, take the path on the left.
(1) At the next junction, after the house known as ‘de la mère Pageot’, follow the yellow signposting and turn right onto the dirt track flanked by embankments. Depending on the weather, this path may be damp or even waterlogged. After descending to the ford, cross the Tourtout via the wooden footbridge, then head back up the hillside.
(2) Take the forest track on the right. The Cinglais Forest covers 640 ha of Boulon’s territory, representing just over half the municipal area. All along the track you will find markings for plots C5 to C1. After 1.7 km, you will emerge onto a tarmac road at a bend.
(3) Follow the yellow signposting and turn left. Continue along the track, passing the gate of the company EPC-FRANCE, and carry on until you reach the junction of five forest tracks at approximately 1.5 km.
(4) Take the second path on the left, follow the yellow signposting marked ‘Entre Cingal et Vallée de l’Orne’, and pass the marker for plot A6.
(5) At the crossroads, where there is a lovely view of Fresney-le-Puceux Castle and a fire hydrant marked FP01, follow the edge of the Cinglais Forest along the left-hand path, running alongside the remains of a stone wall. Rejoin the route taken on the way there.
(2) Then turn right, follow the blue signposts for the “Heritage Trail – Boulon in the Middle Ages”, walk down the hillside, cross the Tourtout again and walk back up the dirt track flanked by embankments.
(1) At the top, at the junction after the house known as ‘de la mère Pageot’, do not follow the blue ‘Parcours du patrimoine’ signposting any further, but turn left. At the next junction, turn right to rejoin Rue Godet. At the end of the street, cross carefully and head straight ahead to the washhouse car park (S/E).
A lovely, easy walk that’s easy to follow thanks to the signposting; there’s a slight difficulty on a sunken path as it’s quite stony, so make sure you wear sturdy shoes,
