Description
Walking down the road towards the ruins of Grosnez Castle, you will pass heathland dominated by gorse, bracken and heather, home to birds such as the Pipit farlouse, Tarier pâtre, Pouillot véloce and Linotte mélodieuse, whilst overhead, looking for small mammals are Faucon crécerelle, Buse variable and Busard des roseaux. In spring 2025 there were at least 3 pairs of Busard des roseaux resident
Upon reaching the castle, it is possible to follow paths in either direction along the cliff top. Heading south you can walk to the WWII German observation post and even to the Batterie Molkte gun emplacements, whilst heading north the route takes you to Plemont. The cliffs are home to a variety of seabirds such as Goéland marin, Goéland brun, Goéland argenté, Goéland cendré, Huîtrier pie and Grand Corbeau whilst out to see Guillemot de Troïl and Puffin des Anglais can often be seen.
