Description of the walk

_ Start_: Park in the market car park (the harbour and surrounding area are blue-zone zones).

(S/E) Go down to the harbour and turn right along the coast. Pass in front of the pier (possibility
of crossing the entrance to the gulf to Port Navalo or boarding for the tour of the gulf).

(1) Follow the footpath, then the road along the GR®34. Turn left in a one-way street to reach the coast. Walk along the beach and pick up the path again to reach an orientation table.

(3) Follow the coastal path. When you reach Kerlud, leave the path on the right to go into the hamlet (very beautiful longères) and arrive at the Dolmen de Kerlud.

(4) Continue on the GR®, skirting a group of houses and joining a road.

(5) At the second house, take a path to the right, cross the housing estate and a road, and arrive at the Megalithic Site.

(6) Continue towards the cemetery and join the D781.

A very beautiful, easy hike. Wait for better weather to enjoy it fully: the Pierres Plates dolmen is currently flooded.

Hello,
We didn't meet anyone except for a few cyclists and the people at a nearby campsite.

A very pleasant walk on flat terrain, which we did with our 4- and 7-year-old grandchildren without any problems (with a picnic break!). Views of the gulf, the ocean and Port-Navalo where we came from, megaliths along the way... everything to interest the children and make them want to walk. Highly recommended!

A pleasant route along the ocean. Fairly easy.
The return journey inland is more monotonous.

We set off from Kerhel and followed the route. We saw the menhirs and dolmens dotted along the path: Dolmen des pierres plates (inaccessible) tumulus de mané er hroueg (collapsed), dolmen de mané réthual, menhir de Brozon, then the nail...tumulus d'er grah, table des marchands and large broken menhir. A superb day out! 14kms. It's a shame the dolmens aren't better maintained!

It's very, very varied: seaside, of course, but also a peak for the view of Port Navalo and the dolmens. I would recommend

Tuesday, market day... So we set off from the megaliths car park a little way upstream. After that, no major difficulties, except that it must be more pleasant at high tide...
Thanks for the discovery.
