Walking From Etableau

On Monday 12 February we joined the Phoenix en Claise walking group on a 5.5 kilometre circuit from Etableau, up to the Chateau de la Vienne, across to Courvault then back to Etableau on the voie verte (greenway). It took us an hour and a half.

Snowdrops Galanthus sp are out everywhere in the Claise Valley at the moment. It's hard to know if these are native or naturalised.
