A lovely route, particularly the descent to Bajus through the woods and along the old railway line.
Just a quick note: at the end of the railway line, there are some low barriers and the path narrows; you might think that’s the end.
At this point, ignore the PR signpost heading left and carry on to the end.

All in all, it’s a good walk.

A lovely walk to get the morning off to a good start, along a pleasant path with not much tarmac.
We combined it with the walk from Dieval to Ourton in the afternoon (there’s a lovely café in Ourton – Le Virage)
and had a picnic at lunchtime at the foot of the Bours keep. All within a short distance of each other – it was a lovely day.
