Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite Quéven Cemetery.

(S/E) Head towards the roundabout and go round it on the right, using the pedestrian crossing. Continue along Rue du 7ème Bataillon FFI until you reach the junction. Cross at the pedestrian crossing and follow the Greenway path opposite. This path runs alongside the D6 and leaves it at the wayside cross. You’ll reach the access path to a housing estate on your left.

(1) Turn onto this small path, then walk through the housing estate to the roundabout. Go round the roundabout on the right to take the small road opposite, above Kerroc’h. At the end of this small road, follow the dirt track on the right. Walk between two fairways to reach a T-junction.

(2) Turn right and walk through the hamlet of Kerrousseau.

(3) As you leave the hamlet, turn left onto the “Ruisseau du Moulin de Kerrousseau” trail, as shown on a sign. From there, follow the yellow-marked trail.

(4) After crossing over the stream, turn right and then immediately take the small (rather steep) path on the left which leads uphill towards a pretty little housing estate. Follow the yellow markings on the trees carefully, as they are somewhat faint.

(5) Before you reach the end of the housing estate, take the dirt track on the left and follow it to the end (see yellow markings).

(6) Turn left, following the sign. Walk through the hamlet of Kergusténen. As you leave the hamlet, follow the path – still marked in yellow – cross a stream and you’ll arrive at the riding centre.

(7) When you reach the riding centre, head up the path on the left. At the top of the hill running alongside the golf course (very steep slope), take the track on the left. You’ll come back to the roundabout you passed at the start of the route.
Retrace your steps, passing through the housing estate.

(1) Return to the Voie Verte to get back to the cemetery car park (A/D).

I quite like this walk, which I’ve done several times. I didn’t really see the point of the first 1.5 kilometres, apart from being able to park there. You might as well start near the 16th hole on the golf course.

Hello,

I’d like to share our thoughts on the walk we did yesterday.
Based on the directions provided, we got lost halfway through the route; luckily, we met a couple who put us back on the right track, and we also ended up going back and forth a few times as we couldn’t find our way – as proof, we ended up walking 8 km 200.
This route is simply a walk through the woods with very little to catch the eye.
Kind regards
Mr and Mrs FRANCOIS

Hello
The yellow markings on the route are barely visible or have faded in places.
Furthermore, point 4 is problematic; there is no bridge and the route is very confusing after that; it’s hard to find your way. There is a risk of confusion with the Gestel footpath.
