Route de l'Aulne via Pont Pol

In the village of Lennon, park in Place de l'Église.

(S/E) With your back to the church, turn right opposite a beautiful stone house, cross the road and take Route de Kergoniou. At the small roundabout, turn right onto the road that descends gently (signposted Kerzidré Kermagon).

(1) At a place called Kerzidré, the road turns left, leaving the large Kerlosquer farm on your right. Continue on to reach the partly abandoned hamlet of Kermargon.

(2) At the entrance to the hamlet, turn left onto a fairly steep, unpaved path through the woodland. Follow this lovely sunken path down to the towpath, where you turn right.

(3) Turn left to follow the towpath upstream. Pass lock No. 22 at Prad Pourrig and continue to Pont-Pol (a humpback bridge dating from 1824).

(4) At the bridge, leave the Aulne and, at the crossroads, cross the D72 with care and head towards Kerbiriou and Kerbiliget. Follow this road and pass the turn-off for Kerbiriou. 

(5) At the bend in the road, take a path on the left leading to Stéraon and follow it to a small road.

(6) At Stéraon, head up to the right along the small road, continuing until you reach the Lennon–Châteauneuf-du-Faou road; follow this for about 100 m until you come to a path on the right.

(7) Take this track through the fields, ignore the fork to the right and continue straight on to reach Meilh an Dug (old mill).

(8) Cross the footbridge over the River Stêr Goanez, follow the stream and turn left then right to reach the Ty Lagadec road. Follow this road straight on until you reach a bend where you turn right for about 200 m until you reach the start of a path.

(9) Turn right onto this path, which runs between fields, then turns left at a right angle and rejoins the road you left earlier. Follow this road to the right for about 300 m until you reach another path.

(10) Turn left at a right angle, then right and left again to reach the hamlet of Goazkoliou. Cross the hamlet and continue along its access road to the crossroads by the sewage treatment plant.

(11) Turn right, ignore the turn-off to Kerizel and continue straight on to reach the village of Lennon and its car park near the church (S/E).

Toilets at the start near the town hall.

Picnic tables at the start and at Pont Pol (4).
