Description of the walk

To reach the starting point, take the road to Meslien from Cléguer church for 1.5 km. Before a bridge over the Crano stream, there is a large square on the right (the old station) which can be used as a car park. This square is the starting point for our walk.

(S/E) Head towards the end of the square, passing the last entrance to a property on the left. This is where the old railway line begins.

(1) Follow the old railway line close to the Crano stream through the woods to Moulin du Moustoir, a pretty hamlet at the bottom of the valley. The path leads to a small tarmac road that ends here.

(2) Take the road on the left and go up to the crossroads. Turn left and continue for about 500 metres. Turn right at the crossroads.
.
(3) At the next crossroads, turn right towards Locmaria Grâce and its beautiful little chapel.

(4) At the end of the road, continue along the straight path that descends towards the Scorff.

(5) At the footbridge, without crossing it, take the path on the left that runs close to the river. After a little over a kilometre, the path moves away from the river and climbs into the woods.

(6) When the path descends to a road, take the path on the left which climbs steeply for 250 metres.

(7) Turn right, staying at roughly the same height. Before reaching a field, follow the path that turns left and leads to a sunken lane (not shown on the IGN map).

(8) Turn right and follow the path to the road from Meslin to Keraly.

(9) Follow the road to the left, then turn right at the triangular crossroads to reach the entrance to the hamlet of Keraly.

(10) Take the path on the right that descends the slope through the woods. You will arrive at the Cléguer road in Meslien, which you take on the left. Then turn right to cross the bridge and arrive at the old Cléguer station (S/E).

After the Roc'h mill, at Trou du Gaz, follow the Scorff river as closely as possible. The passage is a little tricky in winter as you have to cross puddles and climb a small embankment... The area is very wet for a few metres.

Very beautiful hike.
We were with our dog, who had a great time. There is a bit of road between points 2 and 3, but we didn't see any cars.
Once past the chapel, we were surprised to see a sign indicating private forest and a crossed-out dog symbol, but we decided to take the risk. We came across a few people who didn't seem to mind.
This hike is mostly shaded, so it's really great in hot weather.

The first part is well marked, but after the chapel it is difficult to find the right path between the private road and the private property. It is also difficult at the gas hole: the map indicates to go straight ahead, but there is a cross there. The end is a bit complicated, so we shortened the route.

A lovely walk at the beginning of July.
A very beautiful parish-specific to Brittany 3 km stretch at the start, where the old railway line has been rebuilt. It is very clean and suitable for walkers and cyclists.
The section along the river (the Scorff) is a little difficult, as it has not been cleared of fallen trees and the grass and ferns are very tall.
The section between 6 and 8 has become impassable. There are hundreds of fallen trees everywhere since the storm on 1 November 2023, so you can no longer see the small path and you get lost.
So, from number 6, it is better to take the small road that leads to number 9 and the hamlet of Keraly.

I found this hike very interesting with some beautiful discoveries. It was pleasant to do in early September during a heatwave.
Having done it twice in quick succession, I tried two different endings. I preferred passing by the castle.
I recommend following both the PDF and the GPS for greater assurance.

Thank you for suggesting this beautiful hike!

Hello. I haven't done this hike. But I know the route near my home well. I was testing your app. It seems fine to me.

A beautiful route between the Crano and Scorff valleys. A small mistake led us to take the "shortcut" that descends from the chapel to the Scorff, forcing us to make a round trip to the Moulin du Roch rather than the planned circular route, which would have allowed us to avoid passing through the same place again.
Both mills are set in magnificent natural surroundings, both valleys are very beautiful, and the few roads we had to walk on were quiet on this overcast Sunday.
We were delighted with this hike.

Good evening,
I am sorry, Sylviculture, that you had difficulty finding your way using my description and the IGN map in the downloadable PDF.
The Visorando website does not require the hikes it suggests to be marked. I discovered this one one day while trying to connect existing paths on IGN and OpenStreetMap and following fishermen's trails. Then I tried to follow the tracks in the forests. You yourself say that this hike is "very good". But it is not an official hike, so there are no signs, no yellow or red lines to mark the route. Only the route on the map or on your GPS and the description matter. The strength of the site is that it checks each new hike to ensure that the description is consistent and easy to read, but also that descriptions of unofficial hikes allow people like you to discover beautiful landscapes that are not official hiking trails. But in such cases, you should not expect to find signs, etc. You need to prepare in advance, set off with the description and not hesitate to consult the map.
Following your comments, I have made a few changes at the start of the hike to make the map and description easier to read. I would like to know if this is acceptable to you.
I wish you many more enjoyable hikes with the Visorando website.

It's a shame we don't know where to start. There are no signs. The old railway line offers two options: left or right. The Moustoir mill is nowhere to be found, but there is a sign for the Moulin de Meslien. Is it the same one? So we set off using a compass. The area is still beautiful at this time of year.

A very pleasant route, mainly along the water's edge and through the forest. The chapel was open; it is in very good condition and very original.
We got a little lost at the end, but it didn't matter as we were less than 300 metres from the finish.

Very beautiful landscapes, unfortunately the chapel was closed.
Beautiful paths with a slight incline.
Route identified on 20 June 2020 and completed as a group on 25 July 2020. Perfect both times.

A truly beautiful hike. We did it in good weather, and the whole route was a pleasure, discovering the vibrant natural surroundings along the Scorff river and passing through farms and villages. We were surprised to find a small chapel open halfway along the route. We got the impression that the whole of Locmaria Grâce has a history... surely that of a Breton manor house, where we saw a whole set of outbuildings still in very good condition.
Our journey time: 3 hours 25 minutes for 11.85 km (according to our smartwatch).
Of course, we took our time and wandered around a bit...
Although the route was very well signposted, you still need to pay attention to changes in direction.

Thank you for this beautiful hike.
