Description of the walk

Start: Park in the car park at the Bono townhall.

(S/E) Take the street "Rue Pasteur" towards the Bono.

(1) Continue towards the bridge "Vieux Pont".

(2). Take the stairs on the left down to the harbour slipway. Then follow the GR® waymarker to Kerdréan.
Follow the inlet on the left until the GR® forks left. At the top of the stairs, turn right, then left, until you reach a small square. Continue along the square and immediately turn right onto the path signposted "Tumulus de Kernourz"".

(3) Pass in front of the tumulus; if you have an electric lamp, you can go inside. Take the downhill path to the right and go around a tip along the river.

(4) Turn right onto the Mathurin Hilary path, still on the GR®.

(5) At marker 132 (around the gulf : "Tour du golfe"), walk up left (leaving the GR®), then left in front of the no-entry sign; this is the entrance to a property. You'll come to the manor "Manoir de Kerdréan", which you follow to get back on the road.

(6) Leave the road at the sign for "Le port 4,5 km" taking a path on the left. You'll handrail a horse farm until you reach the village of Minihy.

(7) Take the road to the right. At the top of the hill, turn left (2nd road) then right. Take a path straight ahead and at its end re-take the road on the left to reach the burial mound ("tumulus"), then right again.
Follow the GR® along the inlet to reach the harbour and then the townhall car park (S/E).

Thank you for your review. And yes, in Brittany it rains and the paths are often muddy. Added to this on this route is the impact of the tide on certain areas that are inaccessible at high tide when the tidal range is high.
Enjoy your walks!

A very pleasant walk in a superb location. Please note: there is a very muddy section, so walking boots are highly recommended!

The shoreline is superb, but the loop inland is average. Significant roadside route

This is one of the most beautiful in the area and very easy. It is best to go at high tide.

The terrain was muddy, and we had to avoid large puddles of water or mud. Otherwise, the walk was nice too.

A superb sunny day for an extended route via Kerdeff, Manelio, Bequerel chapel, Kervilio mill and back along the banks of the Bono river,
small anecdote by coefficient of tide of104, water covers some passages, small baths of feet assured;
the tumulus, the manor house, the chapel, the Chouans paths, the coastal path at high tide; superb, a real pleasure;
perfect for a family outing;

A very beautiful walk, which can easily be shortened by cutting through the town (which we did) and is therefore suitable for everyone. The burial mound alone is worth the trip!

A beautiful walk, with very little tarmac (only on the way down to the port of St Goustan).
The high tide makes this walk even more beautiful.

Nice route along the river and a bit of countryside.
Little change in altitude, to be avoided in wet weather (wet passage) despite the plastering.
Recommended for a Sunday outing after lunch...
What about marker 132?

The path is well laid out. For those who have problems with marker 132, 100 metres ahead, when the manor house is already visible, there is a bird observatory on the right and on the left, a post with two prohibition signs, the back of which you can see (horses and 2-wheel motor vehicles prohibited).
