Gorge d'heric, Mons and La Coste.

Gorge d'heric, Mons and La Coste. 1.30H 3km. easy. A short walk with lots of pretty scenery, but not today though, it was all hiding behind the wispy low lying clouds in the valley.

The early morning rain had gone and we walked from Mons on the red/yellow path down to the gorge d'heric then over the bridge of sighs to take the right-hand yellow marked path to La Coste. Down the track just before the hamlet to join the voie vert.

It's a lovely little trail all the way there through chestnut and oak woodland. Now on the voie vert turn right and head towards Mons.

Just after the big bridge over the Heric there is a little blue path on your right which take to down the the picnic area of the car park below (Le Verdier base). Go to the other side of the little road and you will see a post and a blue marked trail.

This little path follows the River Heric up to the car park. Then turn left just before the road, to find yourself in the little hamlet of Le Verdier haut.

Go through the hamlet and turn right, go up the footpath to the road and cross to the footpath back to Mons through the chestnut woods once again. A super little walk in any weather, lots of wildlife to see and pretty too.
