Belle découverte… balade sympathique

عبارة عن ممشى بين غابات ونهر جاري والنفق للأمانة تحفة 👍🏼👍🏼 المشي فالمكان هذا يرد الروح انا جيته في النهار ولا أدري عن وضعه في الليل شكله بيكون المكان مخيف

Visite faite avant d'aller à l'aéroport d'Édimbourg qui nous a permis de finir sur une très belle note par la découverte de cet endroit insolite qui devrait plaire aux amateurs de fresques murales. La traversée du tunnel est assez rapide. L'environnement calme et tranquille permet de savourer le lieu et le parc se trouvant à proximité permet une belle pause nature. Nous conseillons vivement.
