Lanloup walks

The Kergolo is a small coastal river that flows into Anse de Bréhec, a pretty sandy beach and a small heritage harbour. Its course and that of its tributaries are dotted with numerous fountains and wash houses. As you explore the Kergolo basin, which has been inhabited for a long time, you’ll discover a wealth of architecture, including manor houses, religious buildings and traditional homes, often restored and set in lovely gardens. Alternate routes to shorten or extend the route are available.

Starting from the Chapelle Saint-Samson, take the famous Shelburn network aviators’ path to reach Brehec Beach.

This short hike follows the coastal path (GR®34) and allows you to discover the incredible story of the Shelburn Network.

You will follow in the footsteps of the airmen who travelled these paths in the dark nights of the occupation.

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.

Plouha is home to the highest cliffs in Brittany. They can be seen from theGR®34.

Along the way, you will see several granite wayside crosses.

From the Chapel of La Trinité, the route quickly reaches the cliffs. It then follows theGR®34along a fairly rugged section, but with unobstructed views (from Bréhat to Saint-Quay) and numerous possible stopping points. At the lowest point, the beaches of Port Moguer and Gwin zegal are particularly enjoyable. You leave theGR®34before reaching Palus beach, and old sunken paths lead back to small roads that pass through pretty villages to return to the starting point.

Plouézec is known to local hikers for the many steps onthe GR®34 trailthat crosses the commune. This route avoids almost all of them and allows you to discover, without too much effort, the beautiful views of Paimpol Bay, the built heritage (Saint-Riom Chapel, wash houses, fountains, stone houses), and the fields of flowers and vegetables. The route mostly follows sunken lanes, farm tracks and footpaths. In short: a short route, the most peaceful you can do in this area of famous Paimpol cliffs, and where you won't get bored because the route crosses very varied areas.

This hike is worth doing in any season, given the rich heritage you will encounter. It is even better in spring and summer when the coastline is particularly flowery (agapanthus, hydrangeas, etc.).

This hike offers fabulous scenery from start to finish, with some particularly remarkable viewpoints. Requires two vehicles, one in the small car park at the start of Kerpalud, the other at the port of Loguivy de la Mer. Otherwise, return via country roads and an additional 4 km. The path is accessible in all seasons but requires a good level of fitness due to the five climbs involved.

A long walk from port to port around Ploubazlanec, the bustle of Paimpol harbour, the peaceful tranquillity of Loguivy, the departure for Bréhat from the Arcouest pier and the oyster beds at Porz Even.
