Description of the walk

Park near the Plouha Tourist Office: there are plenty of parking spaces nearby, particularly around the church.

(S/E) Head towards the church and walk round it on the right-hand side. At the junction, take Rue du Bois du Chat, which is opposite, and continue until you reach a four-way junction.

(1) Take Rue de la Croix Blanche, which is opposite. The Calvary known as the ‘White Cross’ is further on, set against a house on the left-hand side.

(2) At the Fork in the road just beyond the Calvary, take the left-hand path. Further on, the path turns right and leads onto a road at a place called Kertanguy. Follow the road to the right for about 300 metres.

(3) Then turn left to quickly reach the Chapel of Saint John (information board on site). Retrace your steps.

(3) Continue along the road to the left. Pass a road on your left and turn left immediately at the foot of a wayside cross. At the next junction, turn right and continue to the next junction (wash house).

(4) Turn left and pass the hamlet of Scanv. Carry on straight ahead along Rue Théodore Botrel and ignore Rue Jules Ferry on the right.

(5) Take the next right, Rue du Loc. Keep going straight on and ignore the side streets. You’ll come out onto Rue Georges Clemenceau; follow it to the right for about a hundred metres.

(6) Turn left into Rue Kerilis. Cross Rue Jean-Louis Hamon and continue along Rue du Chamoine Dagorn. Turn right into Rue Jeanne d’Arc to reach the Tourist Office (S/E).

The ride is nice, but there are too many paved roads.
There's quite a lot of traffic.

It was a quiet route when I took it (outside the tourist season).
It makes for a short walk starting from the town centre, even in wet weather.
