Hollow ways and villages in Plouha

Plouha is home to the highest cliffs in Brittany. They can be seen from theGR®34. Starting from the town centre, this short route takes you along beautiful sunken lanes typical of the Goëlo region for the first half of the route, then through several villages with beautiful stone houses. Along the way, you will see several granite wayside crosses.

Car park behind the Hermine village hall.

(S/E) Go down the stairs in the right-hand corner of the car park (with your back to the village hall), cross the playground and turn left to walk along the tennis courts on Rue Amiral Ronarc'h.

Cross carefully and follow the road to the left until you reach the Point Vert shop.

(3) At the first houses, just after a large grassy area, turn right into another sunken lane. Cross a stream, walk along a grassy area beside a brook, and at the end of the embankment, turn right at a right angle into athird sunken lane. Leave a small road on your left and continue along afourth sunken lane which climbs up a grassy path to the left and becomes a farm track.

(6) Continue straight ahead along a sunken lane, which may be wet. Join a road at Vieux Lizandré and continue, first turning right then left to rejoin the road you left earlier. Turn left, continue left on the D84 and pass under the high-voltage power line again. At Kergroas, at the two stone crosses, turn right towards Kerrohan to rejoin the circular junction.

(3) Continue straight ahead.

(2) Turn left and continue to the Magasin Point Vert.

(1) Take the small road on the left which initially runs alongside the Plouha bypass before turning away from it.

(7) Turn right at the stop sign and, at the Plouha sign, take the path on the left, cross Rue de Pen Ker and continue to the sports hall. Turn right to join the Plouha bypass, cross at the pedestrian crossing and follow the road on the left for about 30 metres.

Notes

  • Plouha: a small town with a good selection of shops near the start of the route. On Wednesdays, there is a lovely market, but this can lead to congestion in the car park, especially in summer.
  • Take care when crossing the Plouha bypass, especially on the way there, as there is no protected crossing.
  • Local "Vieux Métiers, Vieux Outils" (Old Crafts, Old Tools) museum. It is closed off by a small low chain that does not prevent pedestrians from passing.
  • Lizandré Castle is private property and access is prohibited.

The term "village" refers to groups of houses, localities or hamlets.

A very beautiful short hike. In three stages: sunken paths, farm tracks and then the GR34. Steep and sloping. Muddy because it rained the day before. You need to be in good physical shape and wear sturdy shoes!

Excellent and accurate description. The southern part is the most interesting. You have to wade a little at point 3 along the stream.
