(S/E) With your back to the car park, head towards the bridge and take the first path on the left, which begins with a flight of steps. Follow this grassy path up to the D67.
(1) Cross with care and take the small road opposite (stone cross reinforced with an iron crossbar). Ignore a path on the right and the entrance gate to the Manoir de Keruzou on the left, and continue until you reach a small roundabout.
(2) Continue straight ahead, then turn right at a small car park. Follow a concrete path and pass a basketball court. At the end of the path, turn right and follow the path downwards between a residential area on the right and a wood on the left. You’ll come out onto the D67 near three large boulders blocking the entrance to the path.

Walk along the ria, past a wash house, and reach Impasse Coz Castel on the right. Walk past the old iodine extraction plant, which used seaweed and dates from 1830, and emerge opposite the police station.
(4) Follow the road to the right for about 40 metres and turn right onto Rue de Poul Konk to continue walking alongside the old factory. Join the D789 (Route de Brest).
(5) Cross carefully at the pedestrian crossing and, just opposite a Renault garage, follow Venelle de Streat Hir to the left. At the end, turn right into Venelle de Streat Hir, which runs past the care home. First turn right then left, walk along the car park to reach Sainte-Croix Church.

GR®34markings (white and red).
Walk along the harbour towards the east, noting two houses with external staircases, the Maison des Seigneurs overlooking the ria, and a few old houses, known as ‘English’ houses, dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. Continue along the ria to the footbridge.

(10) Cross the tarmac road to continue along the path overlooking the small Porz Pabu beach. Carry on until you reach the Fort de l’Îlette. This islet, home to an old 18th-century battery, is accessible at low tide but the crossing is quite rough (check the tide times carefully).
(11) The path continues (beautiful view of Blancs Sablons beach). When you reach the tarmac road, head down to the left to reach the car park and walk past it.
GR®34markings (white and red).
(9) Walk past it and take the GR®34 on the left, which runs alongside the marram grass plantations bordering the beach. Walk past the Redoute car park and continue along this path along Blancs Sablons beach (ignore all the paths branching off to the right).

No markings.
(15) Start the climb which passes near the old mill, now converted into a house, and reach the 16th-century Notre-Dame-du-Val or Traon Chapel, a pleasant spot featuring a garden laid out by a team of volunteers. Continue the climb and, at the next three-way junction, turn right. Pass by the dairy farm of Métairie, where you can see an old dovecote, and continue, noting an old wayside cross with its altar of repose in the bend.
(16) Arrive at the village of Trébabu and its parish church, rebuilt in 1787, and take the time to visit the cemetery, where you’ll notice the coats-of-arms on the tombs of several noble families.
Yellow markings, rare and very faint.
Leave this pretty little village with its flowers behind and head back up the road towards the D67. Note a small, well-maintained wash house on the right.
No markings.
(17) After the sign marking the exit from the village, turn right at the Stop sign and take a cycle path that runs alongside the D67 towards Le Conquet. Just before the end of this path, you can see a manor farm on the left, flanked by a tall square defensive tower.
(1) At the end of the cycle path (cross on the left), turn right (signposted ‘Syndicat des Eaux de Kermorvan’) and follow the wide, tree-lined path. It ends with a flight of concrete steps before joining a road. Cross carefully and follow it for 50 m to reach the car park (S/E).
