Via the Chapelle de la Trinité and the Plozévet wind turbines

Start: Chapelle de la Trinité in Plozévet, in the Trinité district, 1 km north-west of the village centre. The chapel is signposted.

(S/E) With your back to the car park, head towards the cross then take the path between the trees to reach the imposing chapel. Note the door on the right and its ornamentation. Walk round the chapel in a clockwise direction to get a better sense of its size.

Follow the small road that runs alongside a beautiful property and leads to a junction opposite a new-generation transformer.

Turn left and continue along the small road that runs alongside fields.

(1) At the bend, turn right onto a path leading towards a house on the right, then veer left to enter the woods. The path through the woods, marked by a few mountain bike signposts, is somewhat winding as several tracks criss-cross each other, and this woodland is also a popular spot for mountain bikers. Keep heading north-west, with sections along the edge of a slope.

You’ll come out onto a road opposite the white gate of house No. 12 (Ménez Guen on the map). Take this road to the right for about a hundred metres.

(2) Turn left onto the disused road verge, which is bordered by a lawn with a picnic table. Cross the road you were previously following and continue, following the signs for Trologot and Lamarzin (50 km/h speed limit sign). Pass a road on your left and, at the hamlet of Trologot, note an old well still in use in the bend, next to the sign for a rural lodge on the left.

At the “Give Way” sign, follow the road to the right. In May, the roadside was particularly full of flowers. You will reach a cluster of houses.

Markings:^GR®® (white and red) +^PR®® yellow (very old and sparse)

(3) Opposite the 30 km/h speed limit sign, turn left onto the uphill farm track. The wind turbines are in view. At the mountain bike marker post, turn right onto a grassy path that runs alongside a wetland (potentially muddy in winter). You’ll emerge at a meadow.

(4) At the junction with a wide path, leave the path to the hamlet of Kerziouret on your right and continue north-east, still skirting a wetland area. Ignore all paths branching off to the right or left and emerge onto a small road.

(5) Turn left and follow this small road towards the hamlet of Kerveillérec (signposted at the farm).

(6) Just after this, at a rusty drum used to support a fence, turn right onto the wide track leading up towards the group of four wind turbines at Plozévet. At the top, turn right.

Ignore the paths on the left, pass by the wind turbines and continue straight on between fields and meadows.

(7) At a four-way junction (power pylon on the left near a copse of trees), turn right towards the hamlet of Kermenguy, the highest point in the commune.

(8) At the first small road, head up towards this large hamlet, an old village currently undergoing restoration. Turn left into the^{first narrow lane}, then take the next one almost opposite and turn right. Continue straight on to leave the hamlet. This route is only a guide as several paths are possible. Head downhill past the last houses.

(9) Turn left onto the path used by livestock and turn right at the bottom to rejoin the path taken on the way out. Turn left and retrace the route taken on the way out in the opposite direction.

(3) Cross the road and follow the small road opposite. Ignore the first left and continue slightly uphill on the road that turns left. Looking back, there is a view of the wind farm shared by three parishes. Continue to the next junction.

Then turn right, then immediately left, and continue straight on heading due south. Leave the small road from the outward journey on your right and continue alongside a beautiful property on your right.

(10) Turn right onto the road, then take a discreet passageway between the houses on the right to emerge opposite the cross. The car park is on the left (S/E).

Some sections may be muddy in winter.

A route full of flowers in May: a beautiful variety of wildflowers, including two species of orchid.

Chapelle de la Trinité (open from mid-July to the end of August, except on Tuesdays)

Led by Compagnie du Vent, France’s leading wind energy company, the project involves the installation of wind turbines in the municipalities of Plozévet, Mahalon and Guiler-sur-Goyen.
