Description

Discover Puy Beaumont, which offers a unique panoramic view of the peaty valleys and wooded puys, another area covered with heather moors.From the Beauvais reception area, take the earth path straight down between the meadows.Take the path on the right between the dry stone walls. Cross the Beauvais stream on a plank bridge, then cross the bog and forest plots to point 2.Take the path opposite, still between the dry stone walls, to the top of Puy Beaumont. Take some the time to admire the 300° landscape and enjoy a rest on the earth bench. Begin the descent by walking around a number of bends, through leafy plots, passing in front of an old shepherd's hut.At the bottom of the slope, turn left and walk along the edge of the Mazure peat bog to point 4. (this section is in common with the discovery trail of the moors and peat bogs of Mazure, so you could extend your route).At the crossroads, go straight ahead until you reach point 5.Turn left into the forest plantation to reach the boardwalks. Walk through them to the stream, the Beauvais, then cross the footbridge to reach an old pond dyke. Below, explore the ruins of the old Beauvais mill, then take the path on the left that leads to point 6.Continue straight ahead to return to the reception area.

Ambiance

These vast areas of common land have, traditionally, been areas for pasture and food crops. You will find some traces from these ancient times on your journey: a plank bridge (bridge made up of granite slabs), hollow paths, agricultural benches, dry stone walls, pond dike, ruined mill... This centuries-old landscape was disrupted after the Second World War by the agricultural decline that affected the region and the State's desire to develop, through pine forstry, these lands now abandoned by humans.
