L’Orneau, Falnuée and the Spy Man: a nature break

The walk starts from the car park at the end of Rue du Pajot in Spy, at the start of the path leading to the famous Spy Man Cave. This starting point immediately immerses you in the natural, woodland atmosphere of the route.

Please note, however: the paths through the woods near the cave can become very muddy depending on the weather. Furthermore, the access route along the Orneau river can sometimes be impassable during heavy rain, particularly at the culvert under the railway line.

For greater convenience, you can also start and finish the walk at the car park by the Mazy football ground. Easily accessible, spacious and completely free, it’s an excellent alternative for enjoying the route at your leisure.

This magnificent region invites you to discover a collection of iconic sites, set within a varied and soothing natural environment. Throughout the route, you’ll follow the peaceful banks of the Orneau, a charming little river that winds its way through woods and meadows. You’ll also pass through the superb surroundings of Falnuée Golf Course, with its vast green expanses offering an open and relaxing landscape.

You’ll also set off to explore the Mazy countryside, with its rural lanes, fields and views typical of the region. Finally, the famous Spy Cave rounds off this walk, a major prehistoric site linked to the discovery of the Spy Man, a true witness to our distant past.

A blend of nature, heritage and wide open spaces.
