The Ménez-Hom ( Breton Menez C'homm ) is an extinct volcano made of weather-resistant quartzite. At 330 m it is the highest mountain in Brittany outside of the Monts d'Arrée massif and part of the Armorique Regional Nature Park . Many Celtic legends entwine around the mountain .
The Col du Ménez-Hom is located southeast of the mountain and, at 210 m, is the pass on the road running south below the mountain. The Menez Lié dolmen is located on the south-western slopes of the Ménez-Hom.
