Walk from Saint-Ronan to Plozévet

From the D784 between Landudec and Plozévet, when you can see the water tower, take the road leading towards it. Ignore a road on the left, turn onto a track signposted ‘Chapelle Saint-Ronan’ and you’ll reach a dirt car park.

Signposted with orange and red arrow signs

(S/E) From the car park, near the sign marking the route, head left along a lovely avenue of deciduous trees dotted with fitness circuit stations. Cross the access road to a farm and continue straight on, following the fitness circuit. Ignore a path branching off to the left and you’ll reach an open area with interactive information boards.

(1) Leave the orange-signposted trail on your right and turn left to begin a descent towards a footbridge crossing a wetland area.

(2) Cross the wetland and head straight up the slope opposite (no path shown on the map, but there is a sign marked ‘Landudec’). Turn right, cross a small road leading to the Domaine de Kerlosquet and follow the path as it winds through the woods to go round this property. You’ll come out onto the road to the left of the property.

(3) Leave the road and carry on straight ahead to rejoin the outbound route. At the sign for Plozévet, turn left to head back down and cross the footbridge.

(2) Turn left to follow the narrow path overlooking the wetland between Landudec and Plozévet. This section, on the edge of an older woodland, is the wildest part of the route. Climb a flight of steps, continue along a lovely straight stretch and you’ll come to the double signposting again.

Carry on to reach the hamlet of Trébrévan. Take a short detour to the right to admire the imposing stone well.

(4) Resume the route by following a long straight stretch along a farm track, running alongside the fenced-off area marking the perimeter of the water catchment zone. You’ll reach a gate near the car park.

No signposting

Turn left (signpost) towards the idyllic site of the little Saint-Ronan Chapel, which dates from 1720 and was restored in 1979. Around the chapel, you’ll find oval-shaped stones (evidence of an ancient ritual?). Also on the site is the sarcophagus where Saint Ronan is said to have been buried, as well as the beautiful votive fountain, 150 metres further down. Benches provide a place to rest in this leafy spot.

Follow the route back in the opposite direction to the car park (S/E).

Several signposts with a map help you find your way around.
Picnic table at the car park.
Fitness stations along the first part of the route.
