Morlaix walks

An urban walk allowing you to explore the town and some of the artworks on the Morlaix Art Tour. There’s a bit of a climb towards the end to reach the Collège du Château and the station, but nothing too difficult.

After crossing a residential area via shaded paths, don’t be put off by a short stretch of tarmac running parallel to the main road. After Bot-Balan, the route consists solely of forest paths along the river. After the Chapel of La Salette, a magnificent covered walkway will take you back to the start.

Explore the narrow streets and traditional houses of Morlaix, then follow the Morlaix-Carhaix greenway and the Jarlot and Tromorgant valleys.

A walk to discover Morlaix. Along this route, you’ll find a few churches and chapels, including the beautiful Saint-Mélaine Church, some stunning murals, the viaduct, a lovely wash house and a few fountains, numerous medieval half-timbered houses, picturesque narrow streets, alleyways and stairways (which involve quite a bit of climbing), the former tobacco factory, the former monastic quarters on the town’s hillside, but also plenty of car parks and traffic – even right in the town centre – and the regrettable absence of the River Morlaix, which has been covered over by a car park upstream of the harbour.

This hike allows you to discover the Morlaix river and bay from the heights of Locquénolé. Splendid views await you.

Mathurine was a young girl who spent her holidays in Locquénolé in 1925, regularly sending postcards to her parents depicting various places in the village, accompanied by a short story. The village has devised this short walk taking in the sites shown on these postcards. It is marked by information boards. You’ll discover a beautiful church, a wash house and some remarkable trees.

This walk was created for guests at the Ferme de Croaz Men (Croaz Men on maps). However, part of the route described here, which bypasses the farm, is accessible to everyone starting from Garlan. It is a short circular route that takes you past a wash house, a few pretty houses with their hydrangeas, and crosses the River Dourduff. Guests at Croas Men, see this link.

A picturesque walk through woods and fields with panoramic views of Morlaix Bay.

This route allows you to discover the banks and estuary of the Penzé. Beautiful views of Morlaix Bay await you. Magnificent views of Saint-Pol-de-Léon, the Port of Roscoff, Callot Island and Carantec.

An easy route starting from the village of Henvic, taking in paths lined with crops and lovely wooded trails. Beautiful views over Morlaix Bay and the Trégor region of Finistère. The route is suitable for mountain bikes.

The coastal path in the commune of Carantec, a circular route starting from Henvic.

Starting from the village of Henvic, this circular route will take you to the foot of the railway viaduct on the Morlaix–Roscoff line, passing through fields and along the banks of the Penzé.

A walk along theGR® 34 around the Barnenez Cairn. The view is magnificent all along the way and the path is very easy to walk on in this area.

Barnenez is best known for the cairn that dominates the headland and stands out in the landscape. It is also a peninsula that you can walk around. Whether you walk along the Anse de Térenez or the Morlaix River, at high or low tide, you will find yourself in a multifaceted place, with the majestic site of the entrance to the Morlaix River and its iconic monuments as a backdrop.

A gateway into Finistère via the Monts d’Arrée: the small medieval town of Plougonven, with its parish enclosure, lies close to the Gaspern forest. At the southern end of this route, two menhirs stand alone in a field.

The Carantec headland, between the estuaries of the Penzé and the Rivière de Morlaix, extends to Île Callot. This walk, which should be started at low tide and when the tidal range is low, takes you around the whole island before following the north coast of Carantec, from beach to beach. At the end of the route, you can also explore the Claude-Goude Arboretum Park.

A charming little stroll on Callot Island in Northern Brittany. Pleasant beaches and a beautiful granite chapel, perched on a hill, enhance the walk. The island is home to a few houses, but above all a superb little chapel, visible from afar because it's perched on a hillock. The granite chapel is open to visitors. The walk is enhanced by beautiful beaches, as the northern part of the island is rather wild.
