Herbeumont Attractions

The N384 in the direction of Herbeumont leads via Ste-Cécile through the Forest of Conques which belonged to the priory of the same name. This priory, founded in 1694 as a refuge for the monks of Orval, can be seen shortly before reaching Herbeumont on the left of the road; it is now a hotel. Herbeumont village is dominated by the ruins of the counts' castle dating from the 12th C. which was destroyed in 1658 by the French.

Around Herbeumont there are many footpaths.

View

From the top of the castle ruins there is a wonderful view of a very narrow reach of the Semois around a rocky ridge which, because of its form, is called the "Tombeau du Chevalier" (knight's tomb).
