Brélidy walks

A very pleasant walk through the forest with a few slightly challenging sections, but these should not put off beginners as they are more than made up for by the lovely views of the local rivers, far from the noise of the town. It ends with the panoramic view from the oppidum.

Although this walk uses a few tarmac roads, priority has been given here to forest paths and tracks open to farm machinery. In return, it offers magnificent scenery both around Poulloguer Pond and along the stream of the same name, with a very pleasant walk through the village of Coatascorn, a quintessential Trégor village with all its stone houses.

Pontrieux, a charming little town, serves as the starting point for this idyllic walk along the Trieux upstream. There used to be twenty-five mills between Pontrieux and Guingamp. Many of them still remain. Let’s set off to explore this river.

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

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.

This easy hike will allow you to discover the countryside around Plouisy, the village and the surrounding wild valleys. You can also enjoy the beauty of the Moulin de Kernabas (or Kernabat, depending on the map and signposts!) or the grounds of the Cours Sainte-Anne and Kernabas Castle or Saint-Antoine Chapel. At the starting point, you will find a picnic area with tables and sports equipment, perfect for ending a beautiful day in the great outdoors.

A walk through the Hengoat countryside: a peaceful, quiet route with no particular difficulty. You can take the time to listen, hear and admire the birds! The route is well signposted; the blue markings were put in place by volunteers from the Glad war dro Hengoad association (Hengoat heritage). A map of the route is available outside the town hall at the start of the walk.

A circular route starting from the car park at Château de la Roche Jagu, allowing you to explore the château grounds (open all year round), the surrounding countryside and the banks of the Trieux, whilst enjoying beautiful views of the river. The duration and distance are approximate; it all depends on how long you fancy wandering around the grounds.

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.

Starting from the heights of the village of Qemper-Guézennec, a long descent through the fields will take you to the Trieux. Then, from the port of Goas Vilinic, following the towpath for almost two kilometres, you will reach the confluence of the Leff and the Trieux, spanned by a blue viaduct.

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

A walking route that runs partly alongside the Trieux and offers views of two old mills once used for flax scutching. This route, of which I am one of the authors, was created by the municipality of Pabu and accredited by the French Hiking Federation. Trail marked in yellow.

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.

Wander along the eastern bank of the Trieux through heathland, pine forests and magnificent viewpoints. You’ll be immersed in its unique historical and natural heritage: Château de la Roche-Jagu, flax drying sheds, the steam railway line, the Maison de l’Estuaire, and protected flora and fauna.

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.).

This walk starts in the town of Guingamp and leads to the Kerhé mill, which has now been converted into a campsite. Most of the route is covered by dirt tracks situated equally between the parishes of Plouisy and Pabu. This route includes sections that are very muddy in winter and spring. Best undertaken between May and October to enjoy it to the full.

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.

A relatively easy hike, but with some elevation changes. Half of the route runs along the Trieux River, with higher sections offering views of Château de la Roche Jagu and even the Lézardrieux bridge in the distance.

The magnificent Penhoat-Lancerf pine forest and the majestic banks of the Trieux are the two main attractions of this hike. In addition to the Lancerf Chapel, this hike allows you to discover the Maison de l'Estuaire. This is infamous because, in 1924, the Traou-Nez site belonged to Pierre Quemeneur and Guillaume Seznec had agreed to buy it: this is where one of the very first episodes of the Seznec Affair took place...

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 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.
