Parking is available on the village green, in front of the main façade of Tonquédec Church.
(S/E) Opposite the church, leave the communal field on the left, taking the Route du Château.
After 100 metres, turn right onto Rue de la Fontaine Saint-Gildas.
At the bend, carry on straight ahead along the path, then turn left at the junction. The path leads back onto Route du Château at a crossroads (D113).
(1) Cross straight ahead and immediately take a path on the left.Please note that it is barely visible and requires you to cross the ditch and then the embankment. It runs alongside the D113 for a few metres before veering away from it; furthermore, it does not appear on maps.
The path crosses a stream (barely visible in summer) several times before joining a track which you should follow to the left.
Then, after 100 metres, take a farm track to the right and, at its end, turn left. This track passes through Kergastel and leads to Kerbabu.
(2) At Kerbabu, turn right towards Penn ar Guer, then continue along the path
(3) Turn left onto a path that does not appear on maps. It becomes a track and then takes a sharp bend to the left. At this bend, take the track on the right, heading west then south-west, before reaching the Kerrivoalan road. Turn right towards the chapel.
(4) Continue along this track, which becomes a footpath as it climbs. Pass under a high-voltage power line and, once you reach the track, turn left. The track makes a U-turn to the right, running alongside the Léguer; cross the river at Kergrist Mill via the two footbridges.
(5) Continue along this path, which climbs and ends at the entrance to Kergrist Castle.
(6) Leave the castle gates behind you and take the main driveway. After a slight bend to the left, take a small path on the right (hard to spot as there are logs lining the path). When you reach Kernalegenn, turn right.
(7) Carry on along the road to the right and follow it round a bend to the left. Ignore a farm track on the right and, at the junction, turn right and continue along this rather winding road.
(8) Turn right and follow the forest track, which is not shown on maps. Cross the D113 and continue along the track directly opposite; it makes a wide U-turn to the right to run alongside the departmental road.
(9) Turn left to cross the bridge. On the left, amongst the trees, you can see the ruins of the tower of Tonquédec Castle. Continue along the road; there is a footpath on the left-hand verge.
(10) Pass the entrance to Tonquédec Castle on your left (private property) and carry on along the road. After 300 metres, you’ll see a hairpin bend on the left. Take this path and head northwards. It climbs quite steeply until it reaches a road. At the crossroads, turn right and you’ll reach a road.
Turn right. Follow this road to the crossroads.
(11) At the wayside cross, turn right. Return to the crossroads (1) and follow the same route as on the way there. Before the stop sign at the junction with the D113, take the path on the left. At the Fork in the road, turn right and continue straight on along the road. Join the D113 to return to the car park on the village green (S/E).
