A pleasant walk in the Durdent Valley. Discover the village of Robertot. A varied and well-marked route.
The trees along the Durdent at the start of the route have been cut down, which detracts a little from the charm of the walk, up to the watercress beds.
Not very difficult, completed in 2 hours 15 minutes.
Thank you for the suggestion.

A very pleasant walk with varied landscapes and lots of hyacinths at this time of year.
At point 10, we went straight on to see the Auffay manor house, which is worth a visit, even if it is not very visible.

An interesting and very varied route, running alongside the Durdent river, then passing through the countryside and forest along undulating paths that are very accessible in all weathers. A must for nature lovers.
