_Access__: Leave Quimper via the D39 (north) and, at the Ty Pont Kerroué roundabout, take the Voie Romaine straight ahead for about 3.5 km. At the Garsabic junction, turn left (signposted ‘Chapelle de Menfouest’) and continue for about 1 km. Park on the left opposite the chapel.
(S/E) Walk up the road, with the chapel on your left, and after about a hundred metres, turn right onto the Allée de Menfouest and follow this lane. Just before the tarmac road ends at a house, turn right onto a wide grassy path lined with a hedge of laurel. The path turns left and begins a long descent with a few slightly muddy sections. Continue to the River Steïr.
Carry on along a track that sometimes runs alongside the river and then veers away from it. You’ll come to a crossroads.
(1) Carry on straight ahead and pass under the railway bridge on the Quimper–Landerneau TER line. Follow the left bank of the Steïr along the edge of a meadow until you reach a footbridge to cross a small stream.
(2) Carry on along the river and note an old oak tree that has seen many a flood. You’ll reach a rustic footbridge made of two electricity poles, with a rope attached as a safety measure. This allows you to cross the river to see the Trogour waterfall on the opposite bank. Unfortunately, a fallen tree partially obscures the stream flowing from the waterfall. If you’re not sure-footed, don’t risk it.
(3) On the way back, turn right and follow the track as it moves slightly away from the river, which is lined with a lovely row of poplars. You’ll come to another railway bridge and pass underneath it. Leave the riverbank and take the path that begins to climb. Pass an old, rusty gate and reach a crossroads.
Ignore the path on the left, turn right and begin a steep climb along a wide track that cuts through this wooded area. At the end, you’ll reach a road.
(4) Turn left and follow the road leading to the 16th-century Manoir de Kergadou, which is barely visible behind its high walls. Walk round to the back (where it’s more visible), then take the access road to Kerbars Farm on the left and arrive at the farm entrance (private road). Note two ponds and a fountain on your right, which are difficult to make out amongst the vegetation.
(5) Turn back towards the manor’s boundary wall and follow the small road to the left which goes round it.
(4) Retrace your steps along the route you took on the way there, going down and then back up the stream.
(1) After passing under the railway bridge, head back up the path you took on the way there. You’ll come out onto Allée de Menfouest and, at the road, turn left to return to the car park near Menfouest Chapel (S/E).
