Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the cemetery in Quéven.

(S/E) Head towards the roundabout and go around it on the right using the pedestrian crossing. Continue to the next crossroads. Cross at the pedestrian crossing and take the Voie Verte path opposite, which runs alongside the D6.

(1) Cross the road to rejoin the path opposite. Cross the bridge over the Scave and walk along the right-hand side of the Pont-Scorff Animal Park.

(2) Turn left and cross the D6 with caution. Pass Kerrousseau and turn left onto a path that runs alongside a small stretch of water formed by the river.

(3) Turn left and follow the Scave to a small road near the Moulin Neuf dam.

(4) Cross the road and take the small path opposite that goes uphill. Continue to the Pont du Verger bridge.

(5) Turn left to cross the bridge and then left again immediately afterwards to follow the Scave on the other bank.

(6) At Moulin Neuf, follow the road to the right for a few dozen metres, then turn left onto the path. Shortly afterwards, turn right away from the river to climb up to the Sainte-Flamine Chapel.

(7) Continue along the path that descends towards a tributary of the Scave. Once you reach the stream, turn right to follow it and then cross it via a footbridge.

(8) Immediately turn left to rejoin the Scave. Walk along the stretch of water you saw on the way out, turn right and walk about 50 metres.

(9) Turn left to walk along a meadow, then turn right onto the path to reach the road leading to Kerrousseau at a housing estate.

(10) Cross the road and take the path opposite, slightly to the left. You will arrive at the Kerroc'h roundabout.

(11) Ignore the first exit and take the small path on the right, which joins Rue du Général Delestraint further on. Continue to the right, turn left into Rue de Kerdelan, then take a path on the right that crosses a housing estate and eventually leads to Rue de Kermainguy.

Turn left onto this street, then left again onto Rue Alain Lesage to reach the cemetery car park (S/E).

A lovely walk through the countryside and forest, perfect for stretching your legs when you come to spend a few days in the region.
Don't miss the spring and its two intact 19th-century wash houses at point 8 after the bridge, or the tumulus without a cover but with clearly visible corridors and circular rooms 100 metres to the right of point 11.
