A lovely little walk through rolling countryside. We spotted some roe deer and squirrels. Some of the views are absolutely stunning.

Thank you for your feedback. We will review the signposting; as we are in a wine-growing region, markings are often made on the posts, and when the owner replaces them, the markings are no longer there. You were right to let us know; we will try to remedy this issue. Kind regards, Bellevigne
