Description of the walk

Park in the car park at Bonsmoulins Town Hall.

(S/E) As you leave the car park, head to the right, then take the small road on the right towards Les Aillebouts until you reach a Fork in the road.

(1) Follow the path on the right towards Les Brumes and carry on straight ahead, passing a pond on private property on your right. Continue along the path, which bends to the right at a small pond, until you reach the bridge over the Iton. Cross the bridge and you’ll come to a junction of paths.

(2) Turn right. Please note: in wet weather, this path is often covered in huge puddles. At the end of the path, at a place called Les Petites Bruyères, continue to the right until you reach the Route de Soligny

(3) Turn left, then take the first road on the right towards the hamlet of Friloux. Continue to the first houses.

(4) Head along the path on the right. After the houses, the path is grassy and quite narrow, running between two fields for about a hundred metres before reaching a more even section.

(5)Continue to the right, passing a large shed on the left and the old Bonsmoulins railway station on the right, before rejoining the Route de Soligny at the start of the Chemin des Audierry.

(6) Turn left, then right at the junction, cross the bridge over the Iton and return to the town hall and the car park (S/E) .

Shady path, ideal for summer. Beautiful view of the village of Bonsmoullins upon arrival. The church is worth a visit.

An easy walk, not very busy and mainly along paths. Very pleasant in dry weather. Do be wary of one section of the path which is VERY wet, but you can take a detour through the woods to avoid getting your feet too wet.
