Belle-Isle-en-Terre walks

To the south of Belle-Île-en-Terre, a forest hides many secrets. It comprises two parts separated by the Léguer river: to the east, the Coat an Hay State Forest (Le Bois du Jour) and to the west, the Coat an Noz State Forest (Le Bois de la Nuit). In the latter, with a 19th-century castle undergoing restoration and a former ironworks site (lead mine), the route follows wide paths that are sometimes poorly lit by daylight.

The tour of the paper mill valley is a short hike through the forest that runs alongside the Léguer river and passes by the ruins of an old factory and a dam.

The Breton heritage is rich in monuments and landscapes. This walk in the forest, which, when linked to another circuit, allows you to discover part of this rich heritage, includes old ironworks, manor houses, a castle and chapels.

This short, easy walk takes you through the Louargat countryside to discover the two menhirs of Pergat, one of which is among the largest in Europe. You’ll follow the Ruisseau du Frout through its valley, which can be quite damp in places, before reaching the hamlet of Manaty. From there, you’ll head into the Koad Bré Forest at the foot of Ménez Bré before reaching Louargat via some lovely forest paths.

This easy, short walk takes you through the countryside around the village of Plougonver. You will follow pretty forest and farm tracks, passing through typical hamlets. You will discover magnificent landscapes, particularly after Kermaçonnet as you head towards Ménez Kerespers. In the village, you can also visit the Museum of Old Trades (free admission) next to the entrance to the famous Menou biscuit factory.

This walk, suitable for walkers of all ages, takes you through wooded, shaded areas along sunken paths as well as fields and meadows. It features three remarkable sites: the centuries-old beech tree, the Chapel of the Seven Saints and the Saint-Éturien stream, where the lucky ones may find amethyst crystals.

The Beffrou Departmental Forest is a beautiful 611-hectare area! During this hike, which includes a few challenging climbs, you will only see tarmac when crossing roads. A pond, a covered walkway, a high point offering a view of the Monts d'Arrée and a chance to discover the local flora and fauna: here, everything grows in peace and tranquillity.

The aim is to follow the course of the Saint-Éturien stream and then the Léguer river from Plouaret-Trégor station to Lannion station. Plan to return by train.

Forest paths and sunken lanes lead walkers along the "Sentier des Améthystes" (Amethyst Trail) alongside the Léguer and then the Saint-Éturien stream, before arriving at a centuries-old beech tree. The walk starts and ends at the Chapelle des Sept-Saints: a place of great significance for the friendship between Islam and Christianity.

This is a lovely, easy little walk in the countryside around Tréglamus. You will pass from one hamlet to another, travelling along a wide variety of paths (sunken, white, forest, grassy and a little tarmac) and landscapes (forests, stream banks, fields, pastures, etc.).

A beautiful hike between Pédernec and Tréglamus on different types of paths. You will walk through the countryside, passing pretty hamlets and isolated farms, mainly on PR® or GR® trails. Between the views of the Ménez Bré summit and the wind farms, you will encounter no difficulty on the route, except for a few slightly damp sections, depending on the season, in the sunken paths.

This circular walk in the Pedernecoise countryside will take you to the summit of Ménez Bré, the highest point in Trégor at an altitude of 302 metres. At the foot of the Saint-Hervé Chapel, you will have a 360° view of the Guingamp region and the Pink Granite Coast to the Monts d'Arrée. Apart from the fairly steep climb to the summit, you will encounter no difficulty on this hike. Choose a sunny day to enjoy the most magnificent view possible.

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

There is virtually no elevation gain on this walk in the Trégor forest. Just magnificent scenery, starting with paths through chestnut trees, then a walk along the banks of the Léguer, ending with a visit to the imposing ruins of Tonquédec Castle. At the end of the walk, don't forget to visit the village church.

There are two historic sites along this walk: Tonquédec Castle with its walls and restoration work, and the magnificent little Kerfons Chapel. All this is complemented by a relaxing walk along the Léguer river.

The Bay of Saint-Michel-en-Grève is one of the most beautiful in Trégor, despite the major cleaning problems caused by the presence of green algae. At low tide, the sea recedes so far that it is barely visible. At high tide, the waves break on the coastal road.

This circular route starting from Toul ar Villin will take you to the Port of Locquémeau and Pointe de Séhar via rural paths in the bocage countryside around Trédrez-Locquémeau. Take the time to stroll around the harbour and walk around Pointe de Séhar. If the tide allows, venture onto the sharp rocks and climb up to the place known as "Le Château". The return journey is via the GR® 34 coastal path, passing through Beg an Evned, the cliffs of Trédrez and Beg ar Forn. There are no particular difficulties on this excursion between land and sea, except for the hilly terrain of the coastline.
