Lanrodec walks

The Bois d'Avaugour and Meur offer a mix of gravel tracks and footpaths. The Tro Vras route follows the western circular loop, featuring beautiful paths through heathland, along the Avaugour (which reveals its beauty in winter, when the vegetation clears) and forest tracks. The transition to the eastern circular loop is challenging (with mud in winter) but offers sections passing by some very beautiful trees. The eastern circular loop, pleasant at the start, is less interesting on the return leg, except for the last three kilometres of descent, initially amongst tree stumps in a fir forest.

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).

You won’t see any charcoal burners. However, as you enjoy this gentle walk, which can be done in any season, you’ll be able to imagine their lives in this forest of majestic trees. There’s no need to worry about getting lost – the route is clearly signposted.

Just a stone’s throw from Guingamp, explore the south-western countryside of Ploumagoar, starting from Saint-Hernin. From wild valleys to country lanes, make your way to the right bank of the Trieux, where the river is still somewhat torrential, then visit the Kerlosquer Viaduct, which bears a passing resemblance to the ‘Bridge on the River Kwai’. Then enjoy the centre of Saint-Hernin with its beautifully restored heritage.You’ll have no trouble at all on this route, which combines all sorts of paths and offers you, by turns, lovely shelter beneath the canopy of trees and completely unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.

This easy circular trail runs around Ploumagoar, winding through the countryside and valleys of small streams, the pretty Bois de Kergré with its contemporary statues and its well-maintained path, ideal for strolling and relaxing. Between these two natural areas, a few more "urban" paths will take you to Sait-Hernin with its picnic area located next to the spring, the wash house and the recently renovated bread oven.

Starting from the Notre-Dame-de-l'Isle Chapel, walk through the countryside towards Leff. A relatively easy walk which, as you pass through woodland and along rivers and streams, will allow you to discover the typical Breton countryside.

A circular route starting from Pabu, the majority of which is within the municipality of Saint-Agathon. It has been accredited by the French Hiking Federation.

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 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.

Just a stone’s throw from the Goëlo coast, this walk through time will introduce you to a rich and varied heritage. As you make your way through woods along narrow, winding and sometimes damp paths, you’ll learn about the history of the watercourses that have always been so important to the local people. This route, which is circular in nature and covers the north and south of the town, will take you from the 15th-century Chapel of Notre-Dame de la Cour to Saint-Oswald’s Church, on to the ponds, and then to the Sentier des Trois Fontaines.

Forest paths, often damp; intriguing and mysterious woodland that surely conceals ancient tales; secluded meadows; a fountain. This is a walk in the heart of nature that passes very close to the site of the old Cour, which has not yet revealed all its secrets, and a little further on, ‘la Maison de la Terre’, an educational centre dedicated to environmental protection. The completely flat and very accessible route will take you to the Chapel of Pabu in the neighbouring commune of Tréguidel and back via the Bois de la Salle, ending at the Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Cour.

An easy circular walk, featuring numerous footbridges, within the Champ de Tir nature reserve in Plouisy. This circular walk forms part of a longer route starting from the village of Plouisy, which has been accredited by the French Hiking Federation.

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.

Set apart from the main roads, the village centre and its church, the chapel and its shops, lies the ‘village’ of Trévenais, which is home to nearly half of Lantic’s population. This route invites you to walk around it, without actually entering the centre. Featuring a few steep ascents and descents, narrow and winding paths, wooded sunken lanes and local tracks, this circular route will introduce you to the legend of the Chaise menhir, the history of the Fontaine aux Moines and the origins of the village’s ponds. A lovely circular route that partly overlooks the meandering course of the River Ic in the heart of the Lantic countryside.

A lovely walk through the countryside and along the coast. Stop off at the lovely Palus Beach for a refreshing swim and a delicious, energising crêpe!

A walk through the Pludual countryside: chapels, woods, fields, orchards, wash houses, fountains, etc. – there’s plenty of variety to be found everywhere.

A short walk through the Pludual countryside, crossing a wetland known as Le Lan. A pleasant family walk.

Apart from a few unavoidable sections on tarmac roads, most of the walk follows farm tracks, sometimes through woodland. The reward for this approach route is the walk along Palus Beach, followed by theGR®34 trail. A somewhat steep route offering views of the cliffs at Plouha and the Pointe de Bec de Vir.

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

A short walk that allows you to discover the village of Tréveneuc and its coastline via the customs officers' path.
