Belle-Isle-en-Terre walks
In the forest of Coat an Noz
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.
Tour of the paper mill valley in Plounévez-Moëdec
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.
La Forêt de Coat an Noz à partir de Loc-Envel

The Pergat Menhirs and the Koad Bré Wood

From there, you’ll head into the Koad Bré Forest at the foot of Ménez Bré before reaching Louargat via some lovely forest paths.

From Vieux-Marché to Sept-Saints
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.
Walk in the Beffrou Forest
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.
From Plouaret to Lannion along the Léguer
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.
Les Sept-Saints and the Léguer Valley
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.
Circular route in Tréglamus, from Kermadec to the Kermoda Cross

Circular between Kernévez Jaudy and Tréglamus
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.

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.
Tonquédec Forest
A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.
From Tonquédec to the castle ruins via 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.
Tonquédec Castle and Kerfons Chapel
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.
Reach the heights of Saint-Michel-en-Grève to admire the bay.
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.
Circular route from Saint-Michel-en-Grève to Locquémeau
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.
