From Buhulien, the banks of the Léguer between Lannion and Kerfons

Walking around the Coat Azur forest means discovering all these hamlets which, in the Middle Ages, lived off the coastal river – hence the many castles that line its banks: Coatfrec, Tonquédec, Kergrist
Today, the largest of these continue to grow, bringing together the homes of people who work in Lannion.

Notes

(7) At the Buhulien Mill, look out for a wide path on the left. This is the towpath which, running alongside the river, leads to Lannion. At this point, you cross theGR®34A, which comes from the path on the right and follows the towpath.

On the hill near the Buhulien Mill stand the ruins of Coatfrec Castle, which once protected this waterway. Listed as a historic monument since 1927, it is currently being restored but can only be visited during Heritage Days.

We love the paths through the woods – we have a great time there!!! Well, OK, at the moment you have to watch out for the mud, because
we’ve had loads of rain, so the paths are very muddy and slippery in places – you’ll need
good walking boots. Have a lovely walk. Edith
