Description of the walk

_ Start _: From Port du Diben (harbor).

Waymarkers GR® White and Red + Yellow

(S/E) From Port du Diben (harbor), take the coastal path West to Plage du Port Blanc (beach).

(1) Continue along the beach to Pointe Annalouesten, where you can take time to admire the panoramic view over Morlaix Bay.

(2) Just before Plage du Guerzit (beach), the circuit leaves the coast and climbs to the left through a pine forest.

Yellow waymarker

Cross the D46 road and follow it to the right for a few meters, then turn left onto the road leading to the village of Bourhiol. Continue along Rue du Pouldu (road).

(3) Fork left into Rue de Kerhamon, leave the right-hand road immediately and continue straight on to the next intersection.

(4) Turn right into Rue de Kervérot (road) and right again into the cul-de-sac where you'll see the Kervérot wash-house. Follow the path upwards to reach Keravéec by the small road.

(5) Turn left and, after the wash-house, go down a sunken track that joins Rue des Prairies just before the seafront.

A pleasant walk, with one short section that wasn't too easy, but overall a superb view. What's more, it was a superb sunny day.

A pleasant walk. Beautiful views of the river Morlaix and the Chateau du Taureau.
We continued to the pointe de Pérhérel and returned overland.
The only negative point was that the return journey was on tarmac.

A pretty and pleasant walk.
A few points of clarification: at point 2, before the Guerzit beach, don't take the first path up to the left, which is blocked 100m further on by a "Private" barrier, but take the second path, which is an uphill path with wooden steps.
At point 4, after the wash-house, the path does indeed go up and at the fork in the road follow the wall to the left... so don't go right!

Very nice walk. I did it with two children aged 4 and 6. The inland section should be done with boots or waterproof shoes at this time of year. Water flows down the path that leads up from the first washhouse and there is often mud (even on the coast).

At the end of the route, the last sloping path is quite hard to see: the yellow line has faded and the washhouse is a little way down, overgrown with weeds and shrubs. But we eventually found ...
