Small shallow and hard ford at the bottom. Easy passage outside the flood period. Gateway if needed. This is the first of three fords you will find if you continue south, following the Cher Valley GR41 to La Roche Bridier. The following fords are on the Roche stream, both are also lined with a footbridge.
