Circular route to Maël-Pestivien via Le Loc'h and La Chaire des Druides

The starting point is at the cemetery car park.

(S/E) With your back to the cemetery, turn right towards the village, pass the town hall, church and school and arrive at the crossroads opposite the school.

(1) Take the road on the right at the corner of the electrical transformer and turn left after the houses. Continue along this pretty country lane and cross a stream.

(2) Continue straight ahead and join a larger white road, which you follow to the left for about 200 metres until you reach a crossroads at an elevation of 265 metres.

(3) Turn right to reach the hamlet of Saint-Isidore and its pretty chapel. Turn left onto the forest path running alongside its enclosure and, at the next crossroads with a path, turn right until you reach a junction with the D28 at an elevation of 283 metres.

(4) Cross the road carefully and continue straight ahead on the forest path. At the next junction, cross a road, continue straight ahead on this path and you will reach the D20.

(5) Cross it carefully to reach the hamlet of Kermorvan and the four-way crossroads.

(6) Take the right fork and go downhill, then veer slightly left onto the path, which quickly becomes overgrown with grass. Continue on to reach the Kergroaz Vihan farm and the junction with the D20.

(7) Turn left onto this road and descend carefully to reach Milin ar Loc'h and its beautiful chapel, which is well worth a visit. You will come to a fork in the road.

(8) Leave the D20 and take the D123 on the left. At the end of a right-hand bend, look for a white path on your left.

(9) Take this path and further on, cross the Ruisseau de l'Étang du Loc'h stream via a small bridge.

(10) Then climb up to the hamlet of Kerléon.

(11) At the intersection, take the road on the left and leave the hamlet. At the next crossroads, take the road on the right towards Kerrolland. Continue to the crossroads.

(12) Turn right and immediately look for the Roch Du Dolmen on the edge of a hedge on your right. Cross the fence to see it. Continue on your way. At Cosquériou, turn left onto a path between the hedges and descend to the Dour Vern stream.

(13) Cross the stream, ignore the crossroads, climb up to a tarmac road and arrive at the site of the Chaire des Druides.

(14) Follow the sign on the right, going around the house. Visit the megalithic site and rejoin the road, turning right. Cross Kerohou and, at the junction with the D50, turn left until you reach the junction at elevation 262.

(15) Continue straight ahead. From there, walk very carefullyalong the road to reach the cemetery car park (S/E).
