(S/E) Small car park on the RD148, near the old Moulin de Fescal.
Cross the main road and head up towards the hamlet of Téneurien. Continue along a sunken track that runs alongside the woods, then joins a small road.
(1) Turn right as you leave the woods, then head towards Fescal Castle along a lovely forest path (not shown on the IGN map).
(2) After the farm buildings, turn right, then leave the road to the left at the corner of the château. The path crosses a small valley via a dyke. At its foot lie the remains of what must have been an old watermill. Take the path on the right which climbs towards Fescal Goff. Reach the hamlet by turning left towards the stream, which you cross via a makeshift footbridge. Then climb up towards a farm track, and turn right when you reach it.
(3) As you enter the village, walk between the two rows of houses that make it up, then cut right between the first two buildings to go downhill, between the houses. As you pass, note the spires of the dormer windows on the houses to the left.
Once out of the hamlet, take the path on the left twice, and head towards Kerligo. Follow the road leading to the hamlet for two hundred metres, then turn left towards Kerdoré and pass through this hamlet as well.
(4) Cross the RD148 again and continue straight on towards Kerhuel. At the first junction, take the path on the right which leads out between the first houses. Turn left then right and follow the road. At the right-hand bend, turn left towards Carado.
(5) Opposite the thatched cottage, turn left, then right 150m further on, to go round the properties. Turn left at the second path and go straight on until you reach the junction with a tarmac road. Make a left-right zigzag to reach La Falaise.
(6) At the first house, take the path leading off to the right along the edge of the woods. These woods cover the steep slope of the Vilaine riverbank. When the vegetation is dormant, the path offers beautiful views of the river and the opposite bank, which is also wooded and steep. At the next crossroads, turn left and follow the red and white markings ofthe GR®39. You can follow these markings right to the end. Descend into a small valley, then climb back up to the outskirts of Kergerbé. Turn left to reach another viewpoint overlooking the Vilaine.
(7) From this viewpoint, you can see two confluences with streams flowing down from the plateau, forming small mooring spots. The one on the opposite bank is Port-ès-Gerbes.
Continue along the path at the edge of the woods, then, after turning left again, head down the slope which will take you to the water’s edge.
(8) Return to the starting point, following a lovely track that marks the boundary between the wooded part of the hillside and the wet meadows at the bottom of the valley. The closer you get to the end, the less well-maintained these meadows become, giving way to wild willow groves. Arrive at the car park along the RD148 (S/E).
