Itinerary description

A quick tour of the battlements, then back towards Potelle & Englefontaine. Quick stop over at the British (Commonwealth) Cemetery, which - despite being squeezed between some mundane looking rural properties (chicken, rusty cars, squeaky gates, etc.), retains its dignity.

Route back is through the forest.

Recommended shortly before dusk.
