Description of the walk

Depart from the car park opposite the town hall.

(S/E) From the car park, head towards Saint-Pierre Church, enter the enclosure and go around it on the left. On the north side, note a small three-bay ossuary dating from 1743, which was built in the old cemetery that surrounded the church. Go down the stairs on the east side and join the pedestrian crossing on the D10.
Cross with extreme caution, go through the cemetery car park and take the old road that passes over the former Brest - Saint-Pol de Léon railway line. Follow this road, which turns right, and join the GR®34 at the Manoir de Saint-Jacques (17th century), visible from the road.

GR®34 markings: White and red + Way of St James: Blue and yellow

(1) Take the stairs down to the left onto the coastal path that runs along the Rivière Le Guillec cove. On the right, you will see the old watermill, which has been restored as a dwelling (known as Palud), and join the road that passes between the Manoir de Kerlan (15th-16th century) on the left and the old seigneurial mill of Kerlan (16th century) on the right. Note the new wooden wheel that was installed in 2018.
Turn right onto the coastal path bordering fields planted with artichokes or cauliflowers, depending on the season. We are in the heart of the vegetable-growing area known as the "Golden Belt". Continue along this path bordering the ria until you reach a small pebble beach where a road ends with a parking space reserved for disabled people.

No markings

(2) Leave theGR®® 34 and go up the small road to a crossroads opposite the boundary wall of the woods of Kérouzéré Castle. Turn right and carefully follow the road that runs along the wall as it climbs. Pass the Coat an Tour farm on your right and arrive at the corner of the wall.

(3) Turn left onto the path that continues along the wall of the woods at the edge of the fields. Turn left, still following the wall, ignore the path leading to the Vereuri farm and arrive at a three-way junction. Turn left towards the castle entrance gate (view of the castle, access to the park has been subject to a charge since 2025)

(4) Turn right, cross the road at the stop sign and continue straight ahead, following the sign for Kersaliou. Pass the dead-end road leading to a farm (sign) on your left and follow the small road to the right. Pass an old cross on its double granite base and the entrance to the Kersaliou property.

(6) Turn right onto the old railway line and you will come to a small road which you follow to the left. Cross the D10 carefully and continue straight ahead along Rue de La Croix.

(7) Turn left onto Rue des Déportés, which slopes downwards. Leave Rue des Lavoirs on your left and continue along the road that climbs back up towards the town centre (sports hall on your right). At the last crossroads, note the Christianised menhir on your left bearing the republican inscription "RF" in memory of 1789 to 1889. Return to the car park on your left (S/E).

Thank you for your opinion and clarification.
I will update the description accordingly.
It's a shame because the tour of the castle, which has been available for a long time, was very enjoyable.

Nice tour, but it is no longer possible to visit the castle for free. For opening hours and prices if you wish to visit, please refer to the castle's website.
