A traffic-free slip road on the Plouay road, about 1 km from the centre of Guilligomarc'h, provides parking for several cars.
(S/E) At the end of this slip road, take the road down towards the villages of Kerandiagon and Kerlégan. The road first passes through the village of Kerlégan. At the end of the village, you can see a beautiful bread oven (see photo).
(1) Turn right onto the road leading to the village of Kerandiagon, avoiding the Moulin de Kerlégan. About 100 metres further on, turn left onto a narrow path that runs along the left bank of the Ruisseau de Kernevez and crosses it via a small wooden footbridge (currently in fairly poor condition). About 20 metres further on, it joins a wider path. Take this path up to the right and after 400 metres you will come to a wider road. Turn left onto this road to reach the Scorff.
(2) When you reach the river, take the path on the right, which follows the course of the Scorff more or less closely on the right bank. About 1 km further on, the path leaves the river behind. It leads to a passageway in an embankment with a rocky escarpment on the left.
(3) The path becomes less distinct and climbs steeply to join a farm track which leads to a field about a hundred metres further on. Follow the right-hand edge of this field for about 50 metres to rejoin the farm track that leads to the village of Stang ar C'haro. Cross the village and continue along the tarmac road to rejoin the river at Pont Kerlo about 600 metres further on.
(4) Turn left to cross the bridge. On your right, at the end of the bridge, climb over a safety barrier to find a path that follows the left bank of the Scorff for about 800 metres, separated from the neighbouring meadow by an electric cattle fence.
Note: In late spring, due to lack of maintenance, the path is overgrown with ferns, making it impassable. In this case, it is preferable to take the D2 road to (5). Please note that this road does not have a wide verge and is quite busy.
The description given here assumes that the path is passable and that you continue along the river.
So, about 800 m from the bridge, you leave the meadow via a footpath, then the trail branches off to the left, away from the river, and climbs in switchbacks towards the Sainte-Anne du Scorff chapel.
(5) At this fork, the path on the right does indeed lead to the chapel, but at the cost of a significant climb. (see practical information No. 1)
Note: taking the fork to the left leads to the D2 and, at about this point, on the other side of the road, a path leads directly to the Scorff (see practical information No. 2).
(6) Below the chapel, leave the Kermignan road on your right and pass in front of the Sainte-Anne fountain (see photo) to join the D2 and follow it to the right for about 600 metres.
(7) Take a wide path on the left that descends towards a small stream. Cross it and continue along a narrow path. At the first fork, take the path on the right and pass in front of a hut (see photos). The path veers eastwards to join a dirt road.
(8) Turn left. The road leads to a small tarmac road that crosses the village of Kerlidec (see photo).
(9) At this point, you can go directly to the Paou paper mill, which shortens the hike by 3 km, or turn left onto the road towards the village of Saint-Inifer.
(10) At this point, you can reach the Scorff River at the Oratory of Saint-Inifer, which shortens the hike by about 1.5 km. Otherwise, continue past the village of Saint-Inifer. The road reaches the village of Fanquigo.
(11) The road ends in a cul-de-sac in a small square. Turn right onto a path that starts behind a house and quickly joins the Scorff. Follow the river upstream for about 1.7 km, passing the Oratory of Saint-Inifer (a somewhat esoteric place) to reach the Moulin à Papier du Paou.
(12) Turn left onto the road leading to the bridge but do not cross it. Continue straight ahead, passing in front of the Moulin du Paou (see photo).
(13) Take a path on the left that quickly joins the left bank of the Scorff. About 500 m further on, you will arrive at the site of the old Moulin du Paou (see photo). Climb behind the mill, as the path between the mill and the Scorff is currently impassable. Reach the river a little further on by taking advantage of a gap in an embankment, then follow the course of the river for about 1.5 km towards the Moulin du Stang. 300 m before this mill, the path climbs towards a small road leading to the Stang footbridge.
(14) Cross the footbridge and go up a road leading to Guilligomarc'h. About 200 m further on, shortly after a sharp bend, you will come to the start of two paths on the left-hand side of the road. The first one is marked as private property.
(15) Take the second path marked by a yellow sign indicating the direction of the Kerlégan mill. It enters the Bois du Torrod. A little further on, take a gap in a bank and continue with the bank on your left. You are now on an old section ofthe GR®34e.
(16) Turn right, as the oldGR® route is now blocked (private property). 300 metres further on, the path reaches a cleared area. Walk along the right-hand side of this area. The path turns south-west and then west. It leads to a cultivated field, which it follows for about 100 metres before turning left.
After about 100 metres, there is another fork: turn right to cross a passage in an embankment and descend the path, which leads to the finish 300 metres further on (S/E).
