This natural area located in Forges-les-Eaux is organized around the ponds of the Andelle, formed by two rivers: the Andelle to the east and the Chevrette to the west. All around extends the Bois de l’Épinay, remarkable for the great diversity of tree species it shelters. You can walk there, observe the birds, picnic and take a quiet break enjoying the rustling of the many leaves.
