Description of the walk

Park in the car park at Bosgouet school, from where you can see the church.

(S/E) Head to the right, away from the church.

(1) At the three-way junction, keep left, following the grounds of Bosgouet Castle, which you can see on your left. After 100 m, turn right and continue until the next junction.

(2) Keep to the right and continue to the Landriers crossroads.

(3) Go straight on along Chemin de la Forêt, go round the pond and follow the path leading into the forest. Once at the edge, turn right to walk along it. At Ferme du Mesnil, turn left to enter the forest, then follow the path to the right to reach the Bosgouet Forest House.

(4) Once you have passed it, turn left onto the Route Forestière du Mesnil.

(5) Take the path on the right and follow it to reach the Route Forestière des Vallons, which you will follow to the right for about 300 m.

(6) Take the path on the left and follow it through the forest, making a first turn left then right. At the junction, continue straight ahead onto the Route Forestière du Mesnil, then take the path on the right about 200 m further on.

(7) Keep to the right onto a small path that runs alongside the field to Rue d’Offranville.

(8) Turn left and follow this road to the second junction at Les Longuemares.

(9) Turn left onto Chemin des Écureuils.

(2) Keep to the right and retrace your steps along the route you took on the way there until you reach the school car park (S/E).

Very pleasant hike. The second part is no longer accessible: path blocked and then impossible to find. Return via the same route towards Les Landrier.

A beautiful, pleasant forest hike with no particular difficulties.
Allow 2½ hours for the walk in total.
The Visorando route is reliable throughout the entire hike (GPS is recommended, however).

It’s autumn, the leaves are falling, and you need a GPS to follow the route because the path or trail
is no longer visible due to the thick carpet of leaves on the way back.
From marker 7 on the map, the difficulty becomes moderate: the path is steep and sloping, narrow, with brambles present; I’ll be clearing them on Thursday 14th with my group.
Not recommended without a GPS!

Hello,
A very lovely walk, but it should be noted that the section between point 7 and point 8, after two attempts, is impassable as things stand (24 September).
To reach point 7, the description instructs you to keep to the right along the “field”. If you follow these instructions, this path – after you have indeed skirted this field, which is in fact just a treeless wetland – curves upwards to the left and leads to the entrance to the Landrier forest, which we passed on the way there.
Point 7 can only be found by continuing to follow the “field” and a drainage ditch, passing through the undergrowth to the edge of the forest, where this time you find yourself at the corner of a proper fenced-in field.
At this stage, we have no choice but to cross the ditch to the right, which is a bit of a gamble depending on how much rain has fallen in the previous days. We have to climb out of the ditch up a very steep and slippery slope, before finding a path on the left at the edge of the forest that seems to lead to the Offranville road (point 8).
I didn’t attempt to reconnoitre the area beyond the ditch because, as a hiking guide for an association, there was no way I could take 30 people there. We therefore finished the hike via Le Landrier and took the same route back to Bosgouet.
I would like to thank the person who sent you this lovely walk, and if you still have their contact details, could you ask them for the necessary directions for this section from 7 to 8?
Thank you, Françoise LEPINEY

A lovely walk with varied scenery. The route description is a bit too brief; some junctions are hard to spot, so it’s very helpful to follow the GPX track to make sure you’re on the right path (we went the wrong way several times).

A pleasant route, mainly through woodland, so it’s shaded.

At point 3, the path isn’t shown on the IGN map, but the description is accurate and the path is clearly visible, so no worries.

At point 6, it’s fine up to the Route forestière du Mesnil; after that, the path 200m further on isn’t shown on the map but is clearly visible.

However, on this path, I couldn’t find point 7. I did follow the path, but instead of heading off to the right as indicated on the route, the path goes uphill to the left. There, after about 100m, I found a tiny path branching off to the right and leading downhill. I followed it and, at the bottom, after crossing a small ravine, I was able to rejoin the route and make my way to the road, Rue d’Offranville.

Thanks PASAPAS27
