Bourbriac walks

The Bois d'Avaugour and Meur offer a mix of paved paths and trails. The Tro Vras circuit follows the western loop with beautiful trails through moorland, along the Avaugour (which reveals its beauty in winter when the vegetation allows it to be seen) and forest paths. The transition to the eastern loop is challenging (with mud in winter) but offers views of some very beautiful trees. The eastern loop, pleasant at first, is less interesting on the way back, except for the last three kilometres, which descend between tree stumps. The extension with the loop along the Avaugour first follows an unmaintained trail and becomes difficult in summer with tall grass and brambles.

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.

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.

This is a magnificent route through the Breton countryside, with everything we love: short steep climbs, sunken paths, undergrowth and a sublime riverside.

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.

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

A walk starting from the small and charming village of La Méaugon, through the woods on wide paths accessible all year round. You will have a constant view of the Gouet reservoir with viewpoints offering multiple photo opportunities.

A sometimes uneven walk through the undergrowth along two Breton rivers, offering a different view depending on the tide level.

Historically dedicated to Marc Faucon (a pioneer of hiking in the Côtes d'Armor), this hike will allow nature lovers to explore the foothills of the Gouët and the wooded hills of the surrounding countryside.

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.

This hike has three parts, each offering a different landscape. First, there is a long walk along the Trieux. This leads to the remarkable site of Frynaudour (confluence, blue viaduct, wreck). The trail then follows the banks of the Leff with a few slopes. Finally, a walk along sunken paths and small roads will take you to the Trieux.

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

A relaxing walk around the dam lake. The path along the banks is beautifully maintained. The artificial reservoir was created by building a dam at the end of the 19th century to supply the Canal de Nantes à Brest during periods of water shortage. A gauge shows that the water level at the dam can reach 14 metres.

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.

This walk takes you through deciduous and coniferous woods where you can take the time to enjoy the cool air. You will also walk along farm tracks and past crops. After a few sections of road, which are nevertheless peaceful, you will return to the undergrowth and the coolness of the stream. This first part is fairly easy going. Then you will walk along the Leff river, with a few more technical sections, and the final climb will bring you to an unexpected finish. You will discover another part of the commune, not far from the Penhoat-Lancerf massif.

Take a short loop around Bon Repos Abbey by following the towpath of the Nantes-Brest canal to the Bellevue lock. The hike continues on theGR®34trail, which runs along the shores of Lake Guerlédan before venturing into the countryside and returning to the abbey.

A magnificent walk through a pine forest. After following the Trieux river and passing through a tunnel through the hill, we walk alongside the Trieux tourist railway line to admire the chimneys of the Château de la Roche Jagu in the distance and reach the Saint-Jean Chapel. Don't be alarmed by the sound of gunshots: there is a clay pigeon shooting range nearby.

This hike was completed and written during the summer of 2015, an exceptional period when the lake was drained for dam maintenance.We invite hikers to do this walk in spring, when the colours and scents are at their best, with the clear waters of the lake as a backdrop. Since 2024, major work has been underway between points 3 and 4 with a view to building a free Himalayan footbridge for crossing the Blavet, which cuts the complete tour of the lake in two. This will still be possible for the most experienced walkers. (See note in "Practical information".

This walk takes you along rural paths. You will cross the Plourivoù countryside through green valleys, following the Canon and Quinic streams. At around the3 km mark, on the left, you will see the Saint-Ambroise chapel. Feel free to leave the loop to explore it. Parts of the circuit may be muddy at certain times of the year, especially before and after the Allée des Chevreuils. At the Georges Kerbellec rest area, you can take the Pont Min botanical trail for a 1.5 km detour.

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

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.

The three chapels of Plourivo are finally united in a single hike! Lancerf overlooks the Trieux, Saint-Ambroise has its miraculous fountain, and Saint-Jean is nestled in the hamlet of Penhoat. Three chapels, three different environments. A modest heritage, but one worth discovering. Hike along the edges of fields, farm tracks and pine woods. Finish your tour by sitting down at a picnic table facing the Trieux, just across the railway line. The setting is peaceful and relaxing.

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.

A pleasant route through the Pleudaniel countryside and along the Trieux, either overlooking it or running alongside it.Several beautiful wayside crosses mark this route, as well as two chapels.Discover a tide mill and oyster farming.

During this walk, you will discover Tréguier with its Saint-Yves cathedral, narrow cobbled streets and stone houses, including that of Ernest Renan, a famous writer of the late 19th century. You will also enjoy the banks of the Guindy, a small river that flows into the Jaudy. As both rivers are subject to tidal influences, it is advisable to set off an hour before high tide to make the most of the scenery.

Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.

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.

In the footsteps of the Toileux: 19th-century linen manufacturers; a journey back in time with the Cromlec'h de Lorette (an ancient covered burial passage) ending with the Rigole d'Hilvern: a man-made stream dug to feed the Nantes-Brest Canal - a little-known aspect of Brittany.

This walk takes you along beautiful sunken paths lined with embankment walls to the heights of Beauport Abbey, where you can discover the deciduous and coniferous woods that dominate the site. You then descend towards the abbey, which you can see from the reed bed accessible via a walkway on stilts. You then reach Cruckin Island via the dyke and salt meadows. From there, you have a superb view of Guilben Point, Saint-Riom Island and the Mez Goëlo Islands.

This is an easy hike. Running along the shore, it offers breathtaking views of Beauport and Paimpol bays.

At high tide, the Léguer reaches its maximum level. The landscape is then truly beautiful, provided the sun is shining. The green of the trees is reflected among the boats on the blue water. At low tide, the landscape is different and the bottom of the Léguer, which is sometimes muddy, gives this coastal river a different appearance.

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. Currently being revised

Walking through a pine forest, you will follow the Léguer river in its tidal section, so the landscape is more pleasant at high tide.You will walk to the Pointe du Yaudet to discover the mouth of the Léguer and then the Baie de la Vierge.On the way back, after following the small meanders of the river (the Yaudet), you will pass not far from the Château de Kerninon (private property, not open to visitors) and descend towards the Léguer.

The hike takes place largely along the coast, offering numerous and varied views. The second part of the hike crosses a beautiful bocage landscape.
