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 de la randonnée

_ 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).
