Trail running friendly

One of the main stops within the Broceliande forest. Several points of interest await: the Golden Tree, the Fairy mirror pond, the Lovers Stone and Merlin's seat.

The trail is short and can be done in either direction. The trail has signs along the way for you to learn about the various Celtic and Arthurian legends and their connections to the forest. Run the path where Lancelot fought Morgan le Fay and freed the forest from her enchantments!

Lots of heather in the second section of the trail.
