From Plouaret to Lannion along the Léguer

Departure from Plouaret Trégor SNCF station (car park for motorists).

(S) Leave the station or car park, cross the road and head east (right). Then take the first left, Rue Joliot Curie. At the end of the street (playground), turn right to reach Rue du Stade. Follow this street to the left for a few metres.

(1) Turn right onto the path just before the Saint-Éturien stream (^GR®®34B, red and white markings). Follow the stream on your left and cross a small bridge. Walk between two streams (only one is shown on the IGN map) before crossing a private garden on the right for about 10 metres. Continue to the street.

(2) Leave the^GR®® and take a sunken path on the left. Continue downhill, following a garden on your left. Go around Kergoguen by going uphill and take a grassy path on the right (Maison Ker Yvonne on the left). The path climbs and enters the woods. Join the^GR®®, follow it to the left for a few metres and then leave it immediately on the left. Cross a road and reach Moulin Neuf (Milin Névez on the map).

(3) Cross the hamlet. After the last buildings, turn right onto a small path and cross the stream. After following the stream for a few metres, turn right and climb up to reach the railway line.

(4) Just before the railway line, turn left into Rue Pierre Even (follow the red and white^GR®® signs). Shortly after the cemetery on the right beyond the railway line, turn left onto the path downhill towards the stream.

(5) Then turn right (east) and follow the stream on your left (green and yellow markings; let the^GR®® cross the stream). Then cross the stream via the first bridge and you will come to a three-way junction.

(6) Then descend to the right (small gate with green and yellow markings). Follow the stream on your right. Pass a second gate and a few pine trees on your right before crossing the D74. Cross the stream via the bridge and immediately turn left onto the GR®^®. Go around the Kerbiquet mill and continue to follow the stream. The path climbs slightly away from it, then descends and rejoins it. Leave Île aux Moines (picnic table) on your left and continue along the path, which climbs and then descends.

(7) At the fork, turn left, take the footbridge and look for a sign pointing towards Lannion. Begin a steep climb and follow the^GR®® which leads to Prat Morvan, which you cross to the right. The small road then turns into a downhill path, then becomes a road again when you reach Le Rest.

(8) At the crossroads, turn right, cross the hamlet of Rest and continue along the path opposite, which descends to the road at Moulin de Kergueffiou.

(9) Follow the^GR®® on the left towards Les 7 Saints (sign) and walk along the Léguer on your right. Turn left and move away from the Léguer (there are two parallel paths that join further on). Stay on the marked path that winds its way above the Léguer and ignore the adjacent paths.

(10) As the first path shown on the map does not exist, head west until you reach the end of the village. Just as you leave Traou Léguer, don't miss the path that branches off to the right. Continue along a small road (D74) that leads to the Kerhuellan fork.

(11) Leave the road and follow the^GR®® which climbs to the right. Return to the D74, follow it to the right and cross the Léguer. After the bridge, take the first path on the left. Stay on this path, further on you will come to the right bank of the Léguer and leave it.

(12) At a fork, turn left along the Léguer. The path along the river ends at the Coz Coat property and climbs up to the right. Join the^GR®® and follow it uphill to the left.

(13) Before reaching the top, turn left with the^GR®® and follow a high-voltage power line. Then descend towards the D30. Follow it to the left until you reach the middle of a large bend to the right opposite the entrance to the Coz Coat property.

(14) Then follow the^GR®® which branches off to the right into the woods.

(15) Back at the edge of the Léguer, facing the Moulin du Losser on the other bank, leave the^GR®® and follow it on your left. The path may be collapsed in places on the bank, but it is passable. It then joins a large path coming from the right (not shown on the map), which you follow along the river.

(16) Go around a small house on the left and cross the Léguer on a footbridge. Immediately turn right onto the beautiful path that runs alongside the river and follow it until you reach the D113.

(17) Cross the Léguer again and climb up to Tonquédec Castle (which can be visited, depending on how much time you have and the train timetable).

(18) Leave the entrance to Tonquédec Castle on your left (private property) and continue along the road. After 300 m, you will see a hairpin bend on your left. Take this road and head north.
At the crossroads, turn right and continue until you reach a road. Turn left.

(19) At a place called L'Estang, turn onto the path on the left. Follow the Léguer river through the woods and turn left at the fork.

(20) At the sign, climb up to the right for about 150 m and follow the^{GR®® trail} that branches off to the left. Follow the Léguer river and join a road. Follow it to the left until you reach Kerguignou (red house on the left).

(21) Cross the Léguer again to the left. Follow the small road uphill.

(22) Before the bend to the left, take the path on the right, just after the clearing. Enter the woods and descend towards the river, which you follow to the left. Stay as close as possible to the Léguer; the tiny path is more pleasant and offers a few small pebble beaches. Pass a pumping station on your left and take the access path that leads to a bridge.

(23) Cross the Léguer again. After the bridge, take the main path on the left. Follow this main path and ignore the road that branches off to the right. Pass under a high-voltage power line and you will immediately come to a crossroads.

(24) Continue straight ahead.

(25) Pass a skate park. Turn left, then right, and follow the campsite to reach a footbridge.

(26) Turn left and cross the Léguer river. Ignore the first road on the right leading to bungalows; instead, take the small passageway that joins the road towards Lannion (Rue Saint-Christophe); turn right. At the end of this street, turn left, cross the roundabout and you will find Lannion station on your left (S/E).

- Park in the car park at Plouaret-Trégor station and return from Lannion by train.
