Chapels of Briec and the Ménez-Roc'h-Meur site

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback.
A few hikers had already mentioned the problem to me, but I didn’t have any specific details.
This confirms a conversation I had with a local resident about this person.
I will note this in the description and try to find out more from the relevant local council.
Kind regards

Hello.
As for the viewpoint, we went to the gate of the property.
It is no longer possible to walk along the hedge to reach the viewpoint. The owner has closed off this access.
We saw him; he was weeding his garden and, when we asked, he told us that, having been attacked, he no longer wished to let people through, either onto his property or outside it, given that it is also his home.
So let’s allow this gentleman to manage his property, which is understandable. It’s a shame about the viewpoint.

Sorry for that outburst.
This confirms what I said in a previous message.
A local resident I met during one of my walks in the area hinted that the owner was “in a changeable mood”.

When I have a moment, I’ll try to find out more from Landrévarzec Town Hall.

Best regards

I can confirm that access to the viewpoint is still prohibited in December 2020. There is a padlocked gate at the start of the path that runs alongside the property… What a shame
This walk is accessible during the winter months.
Thank you, Mr FLOC'H, for your routes

Thank you for your feedback.
I’ll see how I can clarify my description.

"Access to the viewpoint is blocked by a padlocked gate at the start of the path running alongside the property… What a shame"
I understand your disappointment.
I have accessed this viewpoint several times via the path along the wall without any problems.
On one occasion, the owner was even there and let us cross his property for easier access: lucky us.
A local resident I met during one of my walks in the area suggested that the owner was "in a changeable mood".

Yet this site is marked on a brown sign as a heritage site.

Kind regards

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion.

Neither Visorando nor the author is responsible for signposting. Signposting is often included in the description where it exists on the ground, but otherwise, the description and map are intended to be sufficient for navigation.
Visorando does not mark out the suggested walks.

If signposting is essential for you, Visorando provides, in addition to the description and the IGN 1:25,000 map, a virtual signposting tool: a GPS app.

This tool, offered free of charge by Visorando, allows you to verify waypoints and thus resolve any doubts regarding navigation.

Kind regards

We went on this hike recently. We found almost no signposting. We got lost near Lanvivan... . There were some interesting chapels, including a visit to the Chapel of Saint Sebastian. There were a few too many roads, albeit quiet ones. Access to the viewpoint was blocked by a padlocked gate at the start of the path running alongside the property... A shame

A lovely walk. The route leads to Ménez-Roc'h-Meur, where the view is superb on a clear day. The sign pointing towards the viewpoint disappears just before you need to turn off to reach the property. You must continue right to the end of the driveway and, just before the entrance to the property, turn right into a small lane.
Thank you for this walk

I was a bit surprised by the comment.
The description clearly stated: “This route follows mainly quiet country lanes.”
The aim of the walk was indeed to explore the heritage and a natural site.
It seems we missed the point.

too much tarmac

Hello,

Thank you for your comment.

Indeed, this is a recurring problem. In fact, the sign pointing the way to the site (viewpoint) is no longer visible when you need to turn off to reach the property.
According to information gathered on site, the owner is a bit of a ‘wild one’
Twice, he was there and let us through his gate.
In that case, the view of the site itself and the landscape is superb.

Sorry you didn’t happen to visit on a “good day”.
Enjoy your walks...

A lovely walk, mainly along quiet country lanes. The landscape varies greatly, from idyllic countryside to somewhat gloomy woods or rugged peaks, and the chapels are certainly worth a visit. My only minor regret is that the path to the Menez-Roc'h-Meur viewpoint is hard to find and, more importantly, is blocked by a private property wall that leaves only a tiny glimpse of the surrounding landscape.
