The countryside, along the old, forgotten paths leading from Plascaërt Chapel

Park on the grass near the chapel.

(S/E) With your back to the chapel, set off along the road leading towards the D782 at the statue of the Virgin Mary.

(1) Cross the departmental road carefully , then walk alongside it on the right for about 50 metres. At the junction, turn left towards Ty Men, then turn right towards Pennanec’h, and continue along the road.

(2) At the bend in the road, take a dirt track on the right, towards Kervon (wooden sign). The start of the track may be muddy, as it is also the path cows use to get to the field. Continue straight along the track through the tall grass (this slightly tricky section isn’t very long).

(3) Pass through the village of Kervon, then, at the crossroads, turn right and carry on to Trégana Farm.

(4) Turn onto the path on the left, just before the farm, to go round it, and carry on to reach the Trégana Mill, hidden behind the bamboo plants lining the road.

(5) Carry on to the first house in Kerdavid.

(6) Leave the road and head down to the right towards the entrance to a field. Follow the magnificent old path which leads to the D782.

(7) Cross the road carefully, then walk alongside it for about 50 metres before turning left towards Kervuzaré. Walk through the hamlet, watched by magnificent horses in the fields, and arrive at Goarem Kerbuzaré.

(8) Take the path on the right, leading to Goarem Miné Hom. Then continue to the junction with the Greenway.

(9) Carry on straight ahead, taking the Voie Verte towards Rosporden (wooden signpost indicating Plascaër).

(10) Turn onto the path on the right (wooden sign pointing to Plascaër) and carry on until you reach another wooden sign.

(11) Turn onto this path on the right and continue along the dirt track, which may be muddy as it is used by cows. Go round the Pennarest farm, without entering it, but continuing along the path behind the gate.

(12) At the wooden signpost, turn onto the path on the right. A little further on, turn left, then right, then left again. The route ends at the rear of the chapel. You can access it via a few steps built into the wall on the left (S/E).

The route is marked in yellow and, in places, signposted on wooden signs as ‘Plascaër Chapel’.

There are numerous dirt and stony paths, which are very pleasant.

During the winter months, or after a prolonged spell of rain, you’ll need to wear good walking boots to cross the two sections that may be a little muddy.
