(2) When you reach the woods, turn left and follow the signs to the remarkable lime tree.

(3) When you reach the lime tree, you can climb up the path on its right and turn right to return to the original path.

just be careful at the beginning when it says "cross the bridge and walk to the pumping station". I would have preferred to read: "leave the bridge on your right and continue to the pumping station". That would have saved us from crossing it and continuing along this charming pond. No matter, it was a nice detour! Otherwise, it was a very pleasant walk. Thank you!

Simply follow the cycle path at the start and, above all, do not follow the pond on the left. After that, the path is well signposted and very busy on Sundays, making it ideal for families.
We saw herons, green collared birds and a stork gliding through the air!
