At the side of the property, a small path leads directly onto the local 'voie verte'. This is part of the national system of 'green routes'-which are open to walkers, cyclists, dog-walkers, horse-riders etc, but not to motorised vehicles. It's a beautiful and safe way to walk or ride into the local towns of either Sourdeval or Mortain-and Mont St Michel is about a 50 km cycle ride away by this route. Being an ex-small railway line, originally for the local small industries which formerly used the water power available in the valleys, there are no steep gradients...
...and in places, the path is raised on embankments, giving some stunning views of the surrounding countryside, which is constantly changing with the seasons. I find it a real bonus to be able to walk our dogs from here, without once taking them out onto a road.
