(S/E) From the car park at Porz-Louz beach (or Porslous) (glass recycling bin), head up the road to the left towards the hamlet of Porslous, leaving the coastal path on your left and ignoring the first road on your right leading to Porslous.
(1) At the information sign for Telgruc-sur-Mer, turn right towards Porslous and Lanjulite.
PR® route, marked in yellow (mainly by signposts at junctions; yellow markings may be faint in some sections).
At the end of the hamlet, at the first signpost, turn left and follow this small, uphill road. Pass the Kergoualc’h farm and arrive at a crossroads.
(2) Take the farm track straight ahead, then turn right off it onto a wide grassy track. Continue along this track for about 900 m and turn right onto a stony track to reach a small road.
(3) Turn left at a right angle onto this road, which continues to climb; ignore a track on the right leading to the hamlet of Elfen (shown on the map). At the Stop sign, turn right again at a right angle, for about 100 m, then take the road on the left and follow it to the D887 at Croas Séméno, crossing a car park (pottery shops and second-hand goods).
(4) Cross the D887 carefully, take the path on the left which goes round the Point Vert shop and arrive at the old Carhaix–Camaret railway line. Follow this lovely path for about 2 km until you reach the old Telgruc station on your left. You’ll notice occasional water drainage structures here and there, indicating that the old railway line ran slightly higher than the path you’re following
(5) Cross a small road and continue along the railway line.
Alternative route to the church (see Practical Information)
(7) After the next road crossing, near the hamlet of Lintan, keep left to rejoin the path – initially grassy and running alongside fields – then the railway line (the purple line onthe PR®® map is somewhat imprecise). Continue until you reach the hamlet of Pen ar Run, where a sign points to an imposing dolmen 20 metres to the left.
(8) Retrace your steps, leaving the hamlet behind you; continue to the left and take a first turn right then left at the road to carry on along the stony path that runs to the left of the Kerguestoc property. At the next junction, turn right downhill and follow the path which veers left at the bottom of the slope.
(9) After about 800 metres, you’ll reach a crossroads marked by two signposts.
Follow the sign for Pont de Launay (200 m) to the right. Walk to the bridge and cross it.
(10) At the end of the bridge, head down to the right along a barely visible path leading to the River Aber, from where you can get a full view of this two-level bridge: the upper level for the railway and the lower level for farm machinery. Head back up onto the bridge and continue to the crossroads.
(9) Turn right, walk alongside an orchard, then turn left at a right angle to begin a climb up a path that is initially grassy, then stony and rutted. Follow the small road as it continues until it joins the D887.
(11) Cross the D887 carefully, then take the disused road on the left near the Hascoet garage. Near a bus shelter, turn right, following the sign for ‘Ty ar C’hant – lodge’, walk alongside a small pond on your left – where three artificial ducks are always on display – and follow the wide path that winds through the countryside, climbing steadily towards the houses of Douar an Abad. The final climb, after a right-angle bend, is steeper.
(12) Turn right and follow the road for a few metres; at the three-way junction, turn left onto Rue Kleguer Bihan.
(13) Turn left at a right angle onto a steep climb (signposted ‘Tour de Telgruc Traez Beleg’). The markings are rather sparse here. Cut across a first path, then a second, and carry on straight ahead, ignoring the yellow markings as severalPR®® routes converge here. Walk past a campsite on your left and continue down a fairly steep slope.
(14) Turn left and then follow the signs for “Chemin de la Plage”, which takes you through a network of narrow streets.
(15) Leave the beach path along the stream on your right and head up the slope opposite towards the Moulin du Luzéoc, visible on the hilltop (a ruined mill shown on the map), then turn left to reach it. Head back down the small road that leads to the hamlet of Le Ped, where you turn right to reach the large Trez Bellec beach (Plage du Curé). The picnic tables are the perfect spot for a break overlooking this beautiful beach.
GR® 34, marked in white and red (relatively inconspicuous on the coastal path)
(16) Follow the low wall running alongside the beach or, at low tide, walk along this beach, which is about 1 km long. You’ll reach the water sports centre, which also serves as a stopover lodge.
(17) Turn right onto the coastal path (distance marker sign), follow this path lined with blackthorn and gorse (in bloom in April) and continue towards Pointe du Bellec (views of Île de l’Aber and, behind it, Morgat). Follow this narrow path as it heads east. It overlooks a jagged coastline and several coves. You are now in wild rabbit territory, so watch out for the burrows dotted here and there.
(18) The path joins a short stretch of road; follow it for a few metres. At the ‘dead end’ sign written in several languages, turn right to go round a large estate and continue along the path further back from the cliff. Descend to the bottom of a small valley where a stream flows.
(19) Cross this small stream with ease and head back up the other side of the coastal path. Go round a few large estates and you’ll reach the small road you took at the start. Turn right and head down to the car park (S/E).
