Beschrijving
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 Graspieper, Roodborsttapuit, Tjiftjaf and Kneu, whilst overhead, looking for small mammals are Torenvalk, Buizerd and Bruine Kiekendief. In spring 2025 there were at least 3 pairs of Bruine Kiekendief 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 Grote Mantelmeeuw, Kleine Mantelmeeuw, Zilvermeeuw, Stormmeeuw, Scholekster and Raaf whilst out to see Zeekoet and Noordse Pijlstormvogel can often be seen.
