Description of the walk

Pointe du Millier car park.

Markings: Yellow

(S/E) With your back to the car park, take the steps down to the coastal path.

GR®34 White and Red + Markings: Yellow (on signposts)

(1) At the first fork, turn right and follow the coastal path which climbs towards the Millier lighthouse (not a very easy pass)

(2) With your back to the building, continue along the coastal path towards the east, descend towards a cove and leave the coastal path and theGR®34.

Markings: Yellow

(3) Turn right to follow a path along a stream leading to the Moulin de Kériolet. This section has been re-routed and the purple route on the map is no longer valid.
Come to a T-junction and turn right to reach the mill (open to visitors).

No markings

(4) With your back to the mill, head into the rocky terrain to climb towards a large rock known as
the Barque de Saint-Conogan (a granite boulder, possibly a menhir that was never erected).

Signposting: Yellow

Continue through the moorland and heather and turn right to follow a wide path towards Lillouren Farm.

(6) Go round the farm and continue along the small path that leads out opposite Saint-Conogan Chapel and its fountain (a lovely grassy enclosure for a short break).

(7) As you leave the enclosure, turn right and follow the small road for about 600 m. Pass the village of Kersquivit on your left. On the right, note the large Lescogan farm with its extensive facilities.

(8) At the signpost, turn right onto a path that runs between fields and continues to the right through a small wood along a grassy track (follow the yellow markings carefully). After crossing a stream (potentially wet crossing), the path climbs up the edge of a field to reach the Allée Couverte de Kerbalannec.

(9) Continue south to reach the village of Kerbalannec Vraz and walk through it. Continue to a signpost.

(10) Turn right onto a path, follow it to carefully cross the D407 (Route de la Pointe du Millier) and continue straight ahead.

(11) At the first junction, turn right and continue until the next road, where you turn left.

__No signposting

(2) At the signpost, let thePR®® branch off to the right and continue along the road, ignoring the roads on the right. Pass the village of Pors Péron and continue towards the beach. Follow this road as it descends.

GR®34 White and Red.

(14) At the beach, head up to the right onto the coastal path.

(14) Follow it to the right, heading north-east towards Pointe du Millier. As you come within sight of the headland, a signposted path on the right allows you to climb the steps back up to the starting car park (S/E).

Hello, first of all, thank you for the suggested hiking ideas. This suggestion is great, but perhaps a little more detail in the route description would be helpful. The path to the mill is not accessible at this time of year, so we pass east of the site without seeing it. Still, it was a wonderful discovery to learn about the Keriolet mill. Kind regards.

The section on the GR34 is magnificent.
At this time of year, there are very few people, even though it's a bank holiday.
The countryside part of the circuit, with its korrigans, is really very pleasant and on this part I didn't meet anyone.
🙏👍

It is no longer possible to reach the mill by the same route, so you have to retrace your steps after the visit.
There is a very wet area in winter near the covered walkway
The Gr 34 section is really very beautiful

Beautiful views of the coast and a visit to the kériolet mill. Interesting and pleasant route.
We cut off the route at number 12 and then followed the yellow signs back to the car park.
The coastal path is not always easy and it is also impressive. You'll need good walking shoes.

This message is to let you know that between points 1 and 2 it is no longer possible to go through the Keriolet mill watercourse to reach the Saint-Conogan barque, following a decree issued by the Beuzec-Cap-Sizun town hall. The path at this point is in very poor condition. A bypass and new signposting have been installed on the right bank of the Ruisseau de Keriolet.

Yours faithfully
Jean-Pierre

A very pretty walk with some beautiful sites (mill, chapel, covered walkway and, of course, the magnificent coastline). Coastal path a little dangerous, good shoes essential.
One small problem at the start, when you leave the coastal path, is that the yellow markings for the mill are not visible.

The route is done by running in the countryside and walking along the coastal path at the end. Be sure to follow the instructions to reach Pors Peron at the end....

Thank you for this beautiful itinerary

A walk in the Breton sunshine.
The route is reliable and the interest of this walk is unquestionable (the mill is not to be missed, the beach is unusual, the coastal path offers breathtaking panoramas).
There are very few tarmac roads and a lot of walking in the forest or on the coastal path, which makes this walk even more interesting.
I would recommend it to well-equipped hikers of all levels (trainers are not enough, good walking boots with crampons are essential in my opinion).
