Driving a few miles farther upriver, we take
a few minutes to check out this castle ruins. According to an informational sign
at the top of the road,, "Le
Roc'h Morvan" is a feudal fortress perched atop a rock overlooking
the Elorn River. Such a prominent location was a perfect place for such a
fortress. In the 11th century the Viscount of Cornouaille Morvan gave his name
to the castle erected on the site. (Also see
