A stroll through the Pludual countryside: chapels, woods, fields, orchards, wash houses, fountains, etc. There is variety everywhere.

A short walk through the Pludual countryside, crossing a wetland known as Le Lan. A pleasant family walk.

Plouha is home to the highest cliffs in Brittany. They can be seen from theGR®34. Starting from the town centre, this short route takes you along beautiful sunken lanes typical of the Goëlo region for the first half of the route, then through several villages with beautiful stone houses. Along the way, you will see several granite wayside crosses.

This rural route in Goëlo, along a hilly route, half of which is in the woods, offers the chance to discover elements of heritage of great historical interest, such as the Saint-Jacques Chapel and the Lanleff Temple.Please note that from Crec'h Lanleff onwards, the route is not signposted, so it is essential to use the Visorando app with its GPS pin. This walk is best done between May and October as the route can be very muddy.

Starting from the Chapelle Saint-Samson, take the famous Shelburn network aviators’ path to reach Brehec Beach.

The Kergolo is a small coastal river that flows into Anse de Bréhec, a pretty sandy beach and a small heritage harbour. Its course and that of its tributaries are dotted with numerous fountains and wash houses. As you explore the Kergolo basin, which has been inhabited for a long time, you’ll discover a wealth of architecture, including manor houses, religious buildings and traditional homes, often restored and set in lovely gardens. Alternate routes to shorten or extend the route are available.

From the Chapel of La Trinité, the route quickly reaches the cliffs. It then follows theGR®34along a fairly rugged section, but with unobstructed views (from Bréhat to Saint-Quay) and numerous possible stopping points. At the lowest point, the beaches of Port Moguer and Gwin zegal are particularly enjoyable. You leave theGR®34before reaching Palus beach, and old sunken paths lead back to small roads that pass through pretty villages to return to the starting point.

This short hike follows the coastal path (GR®34) and allows you to discover the incredible story of the Shelburn Network. This organisation, rooted in the Plouhatine community, enabled 144 people to escape to England in 1944. You will follow in the footsteps of the airmen who travelled these paths in the dark nights of the occupation.

Apart from a few unavoidable sections on tarmac roads, most of the walk follows farm tracks, sometimes through woodland. The reward for this approach route is the walk along Palus Beach, followed by theGR®34 trail. A somewhat steep route offering views of the cliffs at Plouha and the Pointe de Bec de Vir.

A lovely walk through the countryside and along the coast. Stop off at the lovely Palus Beach for a refreshing swim and a delicious, energising crêpe!

Starting from the Notre-Dame-de-l'Isle Chapel, walk through the countryside towards Leff. A relatively easy walk which, as you pass through woodland and along rivers and streams, will allow you to discover the typical Breton countryside.

A hike that begins with a gentle climb on a tarmac road, allowing you to warm up before following the GR®34, which is more rugged. The last third of the hike offers breathtaking views of the sea as you pass by Pointe de Plouha (the highest cliff in Brittany). Like any circular, it can also be done in the opposite direction, thus avoiding a descent down stairs that may be considered problematic. In this case, you will need to make a significant effort from the outset.

This walk, which is of modest length and difficulty, will allow you to appreciate the richness of the seascape and the hinterland of the well-known site of Bréhec. After passing a cliff overlooking the beach, you’ll reach the picturesque village of Lanloup, and then a long, gently sloping walk will take you back to the starting point.

A lovely hike starting from Palus Beach, which will take you along the customs officers' path to the Port of Gwin Zégal with its distinctive mooring posts, which are almost unique in the region. The passage through Pointe de Plouha and Le Pommier offers magnificent views of the coast and the highest coastal cliffs in Brittany. The return journey is along rural roads through various typical hamlets and beautiful forest paths.

This hike can be split into two parts: a 9 km loop to the north-west, which includes Bonaparte Beach, and a second 6.5 km loop to the south, which offers views of Pointe de Plouha. Both loops follow theGR®34coastal path and include some ascents and descents that may be difficult for inexperienced hikers.

This route was used for the first edition of the 24h du Sport de Plouha. Starting from the superb Plage du Palus, it runs alongside Le Corzic and climbs gently up an old sunken path to Pointe de Plouha. From there, the view is magnificent. You then descend back to Palus via theGR®34.

This route was used for the second edition of the Plouha 24-hour sports event. Starting from the superb Palus beach, it leads to Keregal Chapel and ends along the small coastal river of Plouhatin, the Corzic, which takes us back to the sea. The route is mainly through woodland.

From the coastal road overlooking Bréhec harbour to Pointe de Minard, this route offers breathtaking views of Saint-Brieuc Bay throughout. Once you reach Pointe de Minard, you’ll see Paimpol Bay and the Île de Bréhat. The return journey is along the road with virtually no change in elevation.

A short walk that allows you to discover the village of Tréveneuc and its coastline via the customs officers' path.

From Port Goret, follow the coastal path along the heights of the Goëlo coast. From the top of the steep cliff, breathe in the sea mist and the scents of unspoilt nature. Nestled between land and sea, the heart of the village, with its recent developments, retains its old-world charm. As you walk along the route, its old stones echo a calm and serene way of life, woven with local tales and legends.

There are exceptional panoramic views along this section of theGR®34long-distance hiking trail, with the Anse de Paimpol, the panorama stretching from Beauport Abbey in the west to Paimpol and Ploubazlanec to Île de Bréhat, Roc'h du Chenel du Dénau, Grand Mez and Petit Mez de Goëlo, ending at Pointe de Plouézec in the east. To the south is Pointe de Minard, which marks the entrance to the Bay of Saint-Brieuc.

Plouézec is known to local hikers for the many steps onthe GR®34 trailthat crosses the commune. This route avoids almost all of them and allows you to discover, without too much effort, the beautiful views of Paimpol Bay, the built heritage (Saint-Riom Chapel, wash houses, fountains, stone houses), and the fields of flowers and vegetables. The route mostly follows sunken lanes, farm tracks and footpaths. In short: a short route, the most peaceful you can do in this area of famous Paimpol cliffs, and where you won't get bored because the route crosses very varied areas.

This section ofthe GR®34connects the Moulin de Craca on the heights of Plouézec to Beauport Abbey. To return to your starting point, take the road back, which offers views of Paimpol Bay and Bréhat Island. Once you have climbed back up to the plateau and passed Sainte-Barbe Chapel, follow the small, flat roads back to the mill.

This lovely circular walk offers beautiful views of Paimpol Cove and its rocks, then at Pointe de Minard, a stunning view of the Plouha cliffs. You can admire the beautifully restored Craca Mill, the pretty Port de Port Lazo where you can stroll along the beach and, further on, enjoy free access to the statue park. The famous Porz Donan steps will take you to Pointe de Minard. The return journey will take you from hamlet to hamlet along paths that are often agricultural and through very wild valleys.

The western part of Saint-Brieuc Bay on the Goëlo coast is known for its cliffs, which are among the highest in Brittany at Plouha (104 m). This coastline begins at Pointe de Plouézec and continues to Pointe de Minard.This loop allows you to walk along theGR®® 34 between these two impressive points, then continues through the valley of the Porz Donan stream and on to the small Saint-Riom chapel.

A walk through the countryside for the whole family. Follow the white signs. Just outside Plourivoù, the trail winds through the fields, across the meadows, and along the green pastures. This walk takes you along country lanes. You’ll cross the Plourivoù countryside through green valleys, following the streams of Canon and Quinic. Around the3 km mark, on the left, you’ll see the Saint-Ambroise chapel. Do feel free to leave the circular route to explore it. Parts of the route can be muddy at certain times of the year, particularly before and after the Allée des Chevreuils. Large puddles will force you to walk along the embankments.
