Leave the car park on the left, following the path along the Anse de Combrit. Pass through a gate, go down a small flight of steps and cross a stream via two successive footbridges.
(1) At the first Kerveur Izella signpost, turn left, ignoring the crossed-outGR®® and PR®® symbols.
Unmarked
Follow this ascending path lined with scolopendrum ferns to reach the hamlet of Kerveur. Continue along a road and, at the crossroads, take the road on the right. Lined with beautiful trees, it leads to the hamlet of Lestremeur. Turn right into the grassy area to walk around the beautiful dovecote.
(2) Then rejoin the small road.

Opposite the Manoir de Lestremeur, turn right then left at the first junction. Follow this small road lined with tall beech trees for about 800 m, heading north.
Walk past a large equestrian centre on your left and ignore all the roads on your right.
(3) Turn left into a wooded area and follow this very well-marked path. Walk along a fitness trail and look out for occasional signs, remnants of an old botanical trail.

(5) Turn left and continue to reach the fording point of the Ruisseau du Roudaou (a path has been laid out on the right). Continue along the stony path, leaving a road on your left that leads to a farm, and reach the GAEC Firmin at the hamlet of Au Guili.
(6) Turn left, then left again at a road. Head down towards Étang du Corroac'h and note a pretty, recently restored thatched cottage on your left. At the pond, you can head down to the right for about 100m to enjoy the view and perhaps take a break by the water’s edge.
Alternative route available (see practical information).
(7) Retrace your steps, turn right, cross the embankment and join the old Quimper-Pont-L'Abbé railway line.
(8) Follow it to the left for about 1.5 km. Pass under the D785, then under another bridge and walk alongside a go-kart track situated on higher ground (not visible but recognisable by the noise). Pass the first level crossing and its gatekeeper’s house.
(9) At the junction with a small road, leave the greenway and follow this road which runs alongside the greenway. It joins another road and leads to a roundabout.
GR®®34HWhite and Red markings
Turn left to go under the D785, cross the next road with extreme caution and head for the carpool area on the left.
(10) On the right, look out for a discreet sign indicating the Pen Ar Menez Fountain. Walk down for 50 m to see the fountain, then walk back up and head towards the far end of the car park.
Go through a gap on the left which takes you back to the road. At the bend, ignore the road on the right towards Pen Ar Menez and carry on. At the three-way junction, turn right towards Kerlosquet. Just before the farm, a muddy patch can be bypassed via the field on the right. Follow this path which turns right, becomes more enclosed and runs alongside horse pastures.
Join the access road to Pen Lan and note a beautiful old house on the left. Walk down the road to reach the D20.
(11) Cross with care, turn left, walk behind the crash barrier (view of Anse de Combrit) and reach the car park (S/E).
