Description of the walk

(S/E) Departure: Saint-Joseph Chapel.
Go down the road towards the village of Lambrat (wash house), continue left towards Kervoélic and pass the hamlet.

(1) Cross the stream and the thatched cottages and follow the road that turns left and climbs towards Guenvez.

(2) At the fork, turn left and start the long straight stretch that climbs gradually. Pass the hamlet of Quillianet and arrive at the access road to the hamlet of Kerenguy (no sign).

(3) Turn left, then right at the first house to go around the hamlet. At the exit of the hamlet, between a large chestnut tree and a row of cypress trees, find a path on the left that descends into the woods towards the menhir about a hundred metres away.

(4) Go back up to the road and turn left. You will come to a T-junction opposite a small house (signposted Ty Pont). Turn right and go up to the next junction. Cross the first road and continue. Leave the village of Béchal on your left.

(5) At the next three-way junction, before a bridge over the Pont-Labbé river, turn left and continue towards Le Moulin Neuf.

(6) After about 600 m, leave the road and turn left onto a path that climbs towards Trévan.

(7) At the edge of the village, turn right and follow the road for 50 metres. Leave the road and take a path on the left that leads to Kernébret.

(8) Return to the road on the left to reach Kergagen, which you will pass on your left. Continue, passing a small road on your right that leads to Kerlouanet.

(9) At the next three-way junction, turn left towards Kerdalaè.

(10) After Kerdalaè, turn right and continue straight ahead. At the end of the road, turn right onto the path and then right again near Lambrat to take a path to a road.

(11) Turn left at the road and continue to the chapel where you started (S/E).

This route mainly follows quiet minor roads and paths between fields.
The Saint-Joseph Chapel, the starting and finishing point, is a pleasant spot for a break.

Worth a visit

Saint Joseph's Chapel

Kerenguy menhir. The area around this menhir has been cleared to remove the vegetation that was hiding it.

Plounéour-Lanvern and its chapels of Languivoa and Lanvern, witnesses to the Papier Timbré revolts in Brittany (1675).

Lots of small country roads, but unfortunately paved and with some traffic. It's a shame to go round and round a field with no purpose other than to lengthen the route. A walk for the sake of walking, with no interest. Good weather for hiking.

Thank you for this review.
I have slightly clarified the description before Ty Pont and added the discovery of a menhir that I was not aware of when I created this walk.

Kind regards

Pretty chapel, pretty mills along the Pont-L'Abbé river.
Very few or no footpaths. Hiking on small country roads.
Interesting for a stroll but too much tarmac for a hike.
Before Ty Pont, the directions are unclear...
Overall, I'm satisfied with discovering roads and hamlets I didn't know about.

Hello,
Route completed in the rain. This may explain why
difficulty we had finding our bearings.
