Car park at Baie des Trépassés beach.
(S/E) At the far end of the car park, facing the sea, head right along the top of the pebble beach.
GR®® 34: red and white markings
(1) Join the coastal path and follow it as far as Pointe de Castel Meur. Be sure to stay on the marked route for safety reasons and to protect the vegetation.
Head towards the cove that shelters the little Port du Vorlen and join its access road. Follow it to the left.
(2) Leave the road onto a stony path overlooking several small islets jutting out from the cliff. Continue down into a small valley and then climb back up towards the fountain just before the Chapel of Saint-They, standing alone at the far end of this landscape of barren moorland and heather.
Walk round it and take the opportunity to visit it if it is open.
(3) On leaving the enclosure, head slightly to the left for a round trip to the Saint-Mathieu Fountain, built in the 18th century.
Head off to the right, towards Pointe du Van to the north-west (with views of Pointe du Raz and its semaphore to the south and Cap de la Chèvre to the north-west). Be sure to stay on the path so as not to damage this fragile site.
(4) Continue along theGR®® which heads south-east towards the next headland, Castel Meur, which looms ahead. The path alternates between stony and earthy sections amongst the tall ferns, overlooking the very rugged coastline.
The succession of ascents and descents requires a degree of caution.
(5) Descend to the bottom of the valley leading up to Pointe de Castel Meur, then climb back up to reach the access path to this headland.
Leave theGR®® for a moment for a round trip to the tip of the headland, which offers a breathtaking view of the rugged coastline of Nord Cap-Sizun. Please note that this path is poorly maintained and the vegetation is quickly reclaiming the area.
On the way back, turn left and continue to the next junction, about 50 m away.
PR®: yellow markings (in the opposite direction to the route)
(6) Let theGR®® continue eastwards and turn right onto a small path leading to a car park. Continue along a track that leads to the D7.
Cross it (take care, especially in summer) and follow it to the right for a few metres.
(7) At the signpost, turn left onto the small road leading to the hamlet of Kerléodin, which you’ll leave on your left. Continue along a stony track that descends towards the Chapel of Saint-Tugdual and its fountain.
(8) Turn right towards the hamlet of Trouzent, then turn almost immediately onto a small path on the right. Follow this path, marked in yellow, which passes through wooded areas. Turn right at the first fork, then left again at the three-way junction. It turns left to pass through the village of Kertanguy. Cross the D607 and continue straight ahead along a small road towards Kerguioc’h.
(9) Go round the hamlet, where you can see an imposing old house and a closed well topped with a cross, and follow the path which descends southwards and joins the D607.
(10) Follow it to the right past the car park for motorhomes and then past the hotel to find the car park on the right (S/E).
