Starting point: Anse de Penfoul car park, along the D27 between Argenton and Landunvez.
Red and white markings
(S/E) Set off west-south-west along a path that runs parallel to the road (towards Argenton). At a fork, head down to the right. Walk along a small beach and climb back up on the other side.
(1) At the top, turn right. Follow the coastal path, passing several hairpin bends and going straight on at a junction.
(2) At a junction, carry on straight ahead along the coastal path, passing the base of some boulders on the left. Continue to the tip of a headland, which is also topped by boulders (Beg an Tour). Turn left and continue with the sea on your right. As you reach a small beach, go through a gap in a low wall and turn right.
(3) At the Gwen Trez car park, turn right and follow a small tarmac road which soon gives way to a path. At a fork in the road (wooden barrier), veer right onto a narrower path that runs closer to the sea. Walk round the tip of Pointe de Beg ar Garo. Pass by the base of the boulders on your right and arrive at the Saint-Gonvel car park.
Unmarked
(4) Turn left onto a small road heading towards the dolmen. At the corner of No. 18, turn left onto a path between two fences and head towards the dolmen.
(5) Retrace your steps to the small road and follow it to the left; you’ll find the chapel after about a hundred metres. Retrace your steps along the small road back to the car park.
Red and white markings
(4) Then turn left and, as you come out of the bend, leave the road and take a path on the right, which starts at the foot of a 30 km/h speed limit sign. At the next junction, carry on straight ahead and follow the coastal path, passing by the foot of the houses on the left-hand side.
(6) Then head down to the right onto a small beach (the signposted path is closed further on due to earthworks). Walk along the beach, crossing a stream that runs perpendicular to it, and head back up the other side. Continue along Rue des Amiraux, rejoin the signposted route and reach the port of Argenton.
Unmarked
(7) Turn immediately right towards the Argenton slipway, then climb the hill on the right, topped by a memorial stone, for a beautiful view of the harbour, the slipway and the bay.
(8) Retrace your steps back to Rue des Amiraux.
Red and white markings
(7) Turn left and follow the outward route in the opposite direction to the Saint-Gonvel car park.
(4) Go through the barrier and turn right (sign pointing to the seaweed kilns). After about a hundred metres, at a Fork in the road, there are two options:
- Turn left and stay as close to the sea as possible to walk around the Beg ar Garo headland again (option marked on the map).
- Turn right and then right again at the following junctions, following a wide path, to take a route around the headland.
(3) At the Gwen Trez car park, turn left. After about a hundred metres, you have the same two options as before:
- Turn left and stay as close to the sea as possible to walk round the tip of Beg an Tour again (the route marked on the map).
- Turn right to take a shortcut around this route.
(2) Continue south-east along the coastal path.
(1) Head down to the left onto the beach at Penfoul Cove, then climb back up the other side and return to the car park (S/E).
