Start from the church square.
No signposting
(S/E) From the church car park, leave the church on your left, walk down Rue de l’Aber-Ildut and pass the school on your right. Shortly afterwards, a sign that is difficult to see when walking in this direction (look for a thick rope serving as a handrail) indicates the way to a viewpoint offering a fine view of the aber to the west.
Retrace your steps and continue along the path. Walk past the old town hall and follow the low wall along the edge of the estuary.
At the mini-market, keep left to reach a small obelisk, a replica of the one in the Place de la Concorde, whose base was built using granite from Lanildut.
(1) Take the steps on the left to go round an old granite house, then head back up to the road. Follow it to the left on the pavement alongside the houses until you reach the junction with theGR® 34.
GR® 34: red and white markings
(2) Turn left into a cul-de-sac which continues along the path bordering Anse du Styvel. Take a flight of steps to reach the top of the marina.
Here, there are two options:
- follow theGR® which goes round the harbour buildings, shops and eco-museum on the right
- or head down to the seaweed harbour (marked route). Take care as this is a working area.
The two routes meet at the coastal path.
(3) Take the coastal path towards the mouth of the Aber-Ildut. Look out for a rock on your left known as the “Rocher du Crapaud” and, on your right, the harbour entrance light and the area where seaweed-laden trailers are gathered.
Continue along the path, passing the Lanildut battery – comprising a sentry box, a guardhouse and a brand-new cannon – and arrive at the Cleguer nature reserve, where you’ll find old quarries.
(4) Turn right onto the path and join the D27 at the sign marking the entrance to Melon. Follow this road to the left along the small harbour to the Pub O'Porsmeur.
YellowPR® signposting
(5) Turn right onto the small road to Leurvéan, ignoring the turnings to the right and left. Continue along the Ty Ru path, which veers to the left. At the road junction (PR®), continue straight ahead due north, following sign No. 28, and reach the hamlet of Kergoz on the right.
(6) At the entrance to the hamlet, turn left onto a lovely shaded path which further on winds its way between boulders, one of which is topped by a small cross. At the crossroads, turn right towards Saint-Ourzal Chapel and its fountain, an ideal spot for a break.
Off the marked trail
(7) On leaving the fenced area of land on the north-east side, turn right and you will soon spot a signpost bearing the markings VTT 9, 12, 15 and a horseshoe 3. Turn left, despite a Yellow Cross, onto a discreet sunken path which gradually widens to lead onto a dirt track, near a signpost marked VTT 8, 13, 14 and a horseshoe 3. The path corresponding to the route on the map back to Kergoz no longer exists.
Turn left and follow this wide dirt track. At a signpost, look for a path through a field leading to a superb dolmen. Retrace your steps and continue to a T-junction where a sign points to the Poulyot dolmen.
(8) Turn right, then right again onto the road towards Mezdoun Braz (Mesdoun), where a sign points to two menhirs in a field. Continue straight on, ignoring Mezdoun Bihan (Mesdoun) on your right, and at the next junction, turn left. Now follow the sign for “Camping le Tromeur” to reach its entrance.
(9) Opposite the entrance, at the sign saying “Bourg à 500 m”, turn left onto a wide path that runs alongside the campsite. Gradually, this path becomes narrower and steeply sloping. Watch out for exposed rocks, which can be slippery in wet weather. Follow the small access road to the houses in the hamlet of Tromeur and cross a road marked as prone to flooding. Here we are once again on a former quarry site (information panel).
(10) Turn left towards the Saint-Gildas Chapel. Climb the steps to reach it, then continue on to Rue Rumorvan.
GR® 34, red and white markings
Follow this one-way street leading towards the church. Just before the church, on the left, note the beautiful17th-century Manoir de Rumorvan, part of which, ‘La Maison du Garde’, has been converted into a luxury rental property. When you arrive opposite the church, the car park is on the left (S/E).
