Unfortunately the monastery was closed due to Covid - so no facilities - but a lovely walk and extremely quiet. Easy to find with only a very brief but picturesque detour.

Disappointed with walk 2
We were walking in January, so the abbey was closed. We took walk 2 but the sign in the photo above has now been removed. We followed the track uphill as suggested coming to a T junction. At this point there was a sign stating that it was private property and entry was forbidden. We were unsure whether this applied to the right or left track, there were some locals out with their guns shooting rabbits and as it had started to rain we decided just to retrace our steps (didn’t want to stray onto private land and risk the dog being shot). At least Ralph was able to have a run off lead after the crossing but personally I preferred the Bourlon walk from junction 8.
