(S/E) from the Kerscuntec dovecote car park in Combrit.
Marked with yellowPR®® signs and, in places,GR®®34.
Head towards the dovecote (yellow markings). At the small road, turn left then turn right onto the long bridle path (photo) which crosses the polder and leads to the customs officers’ path, behind the dune.
(1) Turn right and follow the path. In places, designated access points allow you to reach the top of the dune for a panoramic view. Please stick to these access points as the dune was severely damaged by the storms of winter 2013–2014.
(2) Carry on and, after the road that branches off to the right, turn at a right angle onto a small path that runs alongside a pasture. Continue, cross a small wooden bridge and you’ll reach the fence surrounding the tennis court of the former Treustel holiday village.
(3) Turn left, walk alongside the tennis courts and join a road. Turn left and follow this road, which passes near the centre of Kerloch Gwen, until you reach a Fork in the road.
(4) Take the left-hand fork and continue along this road. Cross the D144 – which leads to Île Tudy – with care and continue straight ahead.
(5) Turn right (GR®®34signposted) and continue to the D144, which you must cross again with the same caution.
Leave theGR®®34and follow the small road straight ahead to the next junction, where you turn right.
(6) After 200 m, take the path on the left, Hent Leoc. This path rejoins the small road leading to the Chapel of Notre Dame de la Clarté. The washhouse and fountain are on the right, near the Saint-Vennec farm (guesthouse). An ideal spot for a break.
(7) Walk round the chapel and cross the small road to take the path opposite, Hent Kergroaz. When you rejoin Rue de la Clarté, continue straight on along Route de Kergulan.
(8) At the ‘50’ speed limit sign, turn left onto a small path marked by a bench. Follow this path, which turns right into the woodland. You’ll reach a wider track and arrive at the Leisure Centre, situated on your right at the place known as Le Créac’h on the map. Look out for a small fountain on your left. Carry on past the sewage treatment plant. Carry on heading south-east, ignoring the paths on both the right and left.
(9) At the gravel road near Gorréquer Farm, turn right and follow this road. Pass this converted farm (Tourist Office annexe) and reach a gate on the left.
(10) Turn left onto a wide path heading south-east and follow it, ignoring the paths on both the right and left.
(11) At the crossroads, before the bridle path, turn left and head due north. At the road, opposite Kerscuntec Farm (guesthouse), turn left to retrace your steps along the route you took on the way out.
Turn right opposite the dovecote and return to the large car park (S/E).
