Kerpert walks

A beautiful circular route around the Kerné Uhel pond along the left bank of the Blavet, then along the river in the Chaos de Toul Goulic. The return trip along a pretty stream will take you back to the hydroelectric dam, then along the right bank, around the Goz-ar Hand peninsula before reaching the bridge and the car park. You will also have the pleasure of seeing many birds of all kinds and lots of remarkable trees.

This circular walk around Maël-Pestivien will take you to several megalithic sites such as the Roch Du Dolmen and the Chaire des Druides, as well as a few local heritage monuments such as the Saint-Isidore and Loc'h chapels. You will walk along various paths, including farm tracks, white roads, forest trails and tarmac roads.

A walk almost entirely in the forest with sections along sunken paths. This route leads to a disused quarry that is now a pond (see photo).

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.

A short circular walk to discover the covered alleys listed as Historic Monuments, then the Daoulas Gorges in a somewhat wild rocky environment. A complete change of scenery guaranteed. As a bonus, and for a short 1 km detour, I suggest you visit the ruins of Notre-Dame de Bon Repos Abbey.

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 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.

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".

A beautiful route that initially follows the edge of Lake Guerlédan via theGR® 341, then climbs up to the Butte de Malvran, which overlooks the surrounding area.

This easy, short walk takes you through the countryside around the village of Plougonver. You will follow pretty forest and farm tracks, passing through typical hamlets. You will discover magnificent landscapes, particularly after Kermaçonnet as you head towards Ménez Kerespers. In the village, you can also visit the Museum of Old Trades (free admission) next to the entrance to the famous Menou biscuit factory.

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.).

Hike on the south side of Lake Guerlédan, starting from the church of Saint-Aignan in the commune of the same name. A rather bucolic route dotted with a few farms. The route runs along the shores of the lake and through the forest surrounding it. The landscapes are therefore very varied. Numerous paths allow you to diversify the route.

A pretty, bucolic circular route through the Breton countryside, around the Glomel ponds and along the Nantes-Brest Canal. This route combines waterways, locks, woods and villages, ideal for a change of scenery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Departure from the Church of Saint-Yon in the village of Locuon in the commune of Ploërdut, in search of the springs of the Aër, a stream that takes its source from several small brooks that feed it and which will be discovered throughout this country walk. The trail is signposted and suggested by the Pays du Roy Morvan Tourist Office. Very often wet and muddy in winter, you'll need to be well equipped to complete this trail, or to enjoy it from mid-April to September when the weather is milder. Don't miss the Chapelle de Notre Dame de la Fosse at the end of the tour.

This hike will take you through the Rigole d'Hilvern on good paths. In the Middle Ages, according to legend, Saint-Caradec belonged to the Viscounty of Rohan. A smallpox epidemic occurred between 1865 and 1870, claiming 45 lives. Then, in 1902, a typhoid fever epidemic broke out in the region.
