January 2008
Forêt de Beffou
North of Callac (22) on D11
6.5kms / 2hours
Forest walking to find an alley grave, one
of the longest in Brittany.
Park by the D119 near junction with D11
 | ||
1. Opposite the end of the D119, enter
the forest and bear right to a display of cross-sections of
forest trees. Continue past this and bear left up the path.
2. At a track bear right and follow it
across a Roman road. Continue across another broad track and
past a lake on the left. Climb to a junction of tracks and bear
left.
3. After a few hundred metres, take the
alley of birch trees on the right, signed ‘Allée
Couverte 300m’. Continue ahead from the end of the avenue
on a path winding through the trees, soon arriving at the alley
grave (photo).
4. Retrace your steps back along the
avenue and turn right on the track. Follow this down, ignoring
other tracks joining, until a T-junction with another broad
track.
5. Turn left here and follow the track up
to the junction where you crossed earlier. Turn right here and
follow the track back to the Roman road.
6. Cross and continue ahead. Do not fork
left down the path that you came up earlier, but continue on
the track until a reconstruction of a cobbler’s cabin
(sabottier)
7. Turn left here to return to the D11 /
D119 junction.
