Le Bono via the Becquerel chapel

Beautiful hike which, in its first part, follows the Bono river then crosses countryside and undergrowth to return to the starting point.
Very few roads, nice path.

Description of the walk

_ Start _: Park in the Town Hall car park.

(S/E) Head for the old bridge (this bridge is the starting point for another hike across the Bono arm).

(1) Go down the left side of the bridge to reach the river bank.

::2: At the bottom, turn right along the river. The path follows the arm to the Kervilio tidal mill.

(3) At the mill, leave the path. Turn left, cross the bridge towards Plougoumelen (signposted), go up about 50 m and turn right onto the coastal path.
Follow this path to a road. Turn left, and a few metres further on, take the coastal path on the right.

(4) At the end of the path, you come to a road which you turn right onto. After 200 m, turn right towards the Becquerel chapel.

(5) Pass the chapel (if you're lucky, you can visit the interior, but it's not often open) and the path climbs back up in front of the chapel. At the top of the hill there's a fork in the road, turn right along the edge of the wood.
This path leads back to Le Bono (in wet weather, some passages can be muddy). At the exit, turn left, then left again (follow the coastal path).

(6) After 100 m, there's a track on the right which takes you back to Le Bono. Follow the streets back to the car park (alongside the football stadium) (S/E).

A very nice walk, not to mention the discovery of the town of Le Bono, which I loved. The chapel is magnificent

Easy walk. Fair weather forecast.
On the other hand, the chapel section to Le Bono: a very damp, soggy sunken path over a large section: feet in water and mud. Just to warn you not to do it in trainers at this time of year.

A very nice, easy trail (for the first 5 km) except for 200 m after the chapel, which is very muddy (in April).
After the chapel turn right, but not the boards, wooden signs marked Le Bono.
Suggestion: In wet weather, after the chapel take the boards and return via the mill as on the outward journey. The expected 1km return through the village offers little of interest.

A very pleasant walk. Magnificent views and local history. Done in November, a bit muddy in places (but I was warned!). I extended the loop to reach Kerdréan. I can definitely recommend it.
I made a video of this walk: https://youtu.be/R_a2KCz4J50
Thank you very much.

It's not easy to find your way around after the chapel. There were 2 possible paths to the right.
Nice walk along the Bono river though.

Hello, your comment doesn't fit in with your rating. If the route is pleasant, why the interest in "good"? As for the description and reliability, could you tell me what's wrong. It was never intended that the routes should be described in both directions.
Sincerely
