Plouha is home to the highest cliffs in Brittany. You can explore them on theGR®®34. Very close to the village centre, starting from the town centre, the first half of this short route follows beautiful sunken paths typical of the Goëlo region and then passes through a few villages with lovely stone houses. Along the route, there are several granite wayside crosses.

Leave the village of Plouha and head for Saint-Jean Chapel along the country lanes. These are tarmac-surfaced, except for a short stretch which is a farm track but is easily passable.

This short hike follows the coastal path (GR®34) and allows you to discover the incredible story of the Shelburn Network. This organisation, rooted in the Plouhatine community, enabled 144 people to escape to England in 1944. 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.

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.

A walk through the countryside for the whole family. Follow the white signs. Just outside Plourivoù, the trail winds through the fields, across the meadows, and along the green pastures. This walk takes you along country lanes. You’ll cross the Plourivoù countryside through green valleys, following the streams of Canon and Quinic. Around the3 km mark, on the left, you’ll see the Saint-Ambroise chapel. Do feel free to leave the circular route to explore it. Parts of the route can be muddy at certain times of the year, particularly before and after the Allée des Chevreuils. Large puddles will force you to walk along the embankments. At the Georges Kerbellec rest area, you can take the Pont Min botanical trail for a 1.5 km detour.

Explore the Plourivo countryside, with its charming little valleys through the woodland in a quiet part of the village.

Starting from the heights of the village of Qemper-Guézennec, a long descent through the fields will take you to the Trieux. Then, from the port of Goas Vilinic, following the towpath for almost two kilometres, you will reach the confluence of the Leff and the Trieux, spanned by a blue viaduct.

This walk takes you through deciduous and coniferous woods where you can take the time to enjoy the cool air. You will also walk along farm tracks and past crops. After a few sections of road, which are nevertheless peaceful, you will return to the undergrowth and the coolness of the stream. This first part is fairly easy going. Then you will walk along the Leff river, with a few more technical sections, and the final climb will bring you to an unexpected finish. You will discover another part of the commune, not far from the Penhoat-Lancerf massif.

A walk between the sea and the forest offering a wide variety of geographical and historical points of interest: a route along the Trieux beach, a stop at Traounez Manor (a key location in the Seznec affair) and, to finish, the blue Frynaudour viaduct. A circular walk, returning by TER.

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.

In Breton, "glaz" refers to a colour found in natural elements, between blue, green and grey. It accompanies us on this route. The grey of the granite houses at the start and the mudflats at low tide. The blue-green of the bay, depending on the weather and the tides, which can be admired from the Kerroc'h tower. After Paimpol, the seaside town, comes Paimpol, the vegetable garden. The green-grey of the cabbage and artichoke fields. The little paths take us back to the old town where we can stroll, refresh ourselves or enjoy a crêpe.

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.

A short route through the countryside from Paimpol to Plounez, a former commune now part of this port made famous by Pierre Loti’s novel “The Fisherman of Iceland”.Beautiful views of the Trieux downstream from Lézardrieux, not to mention the lovely Chapel of Notre-Dame de Kergrist.The route crosses the railway line of the “La Vapeur du Trieux” tourist train in two places.

This typical Goëlo landscape perfectly blends land and sea. From the heights of its rich agricultural land (cauliflowers, artichokes, potatoes, etc.), you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of the Trieux estuary with the port and the Lézardrieux bridge, then you’ll walk close to the water between the (6) and the (7).

From the port of Paimpol, once famous as the departure point for the Grand Cod Fishery with the Terre-Neuvas, and now known for its "Sailors' Songs" festival, we set off for Pointe de l'Arcouest, where the pier for the Île de Bréhat is located, and then on to Loguivy-de-la-Mer. We leave the shores of the English Channel for the mouth of the Trieux. Finally, after crossing the Pointe, we return to Paimpol to explore its pedestrianised streets.

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!

During the Meeting of Styles (MOS), 82 international graffiti artists spent three days showcasing their talents on the walls of a block of flats, a secondary school and a shop. This route allows you to discover their work. It also passes through part of Paimpol’s old town, skirts the harbour and leads to Paimpol beach and its seawater swimming pool: Tossen beach. The return to the starting point follows the bay and takes you through the locks

After leaving the town of Paimpol, you’ll head down through the fields to the mouth of the Trieux, opposite the port of Lézardrieux. A walk along the edge of what is effectively a lake at high tide awaits you at the Ledano. Finally, a long climb through the Plounez countryside will take you back to Paimpol. This route combines the agricultural and coastal landscapes typical of this corner of the Goëlo.

The magnificent Penhoat-Lancerf pine forest and the majestic banks of the Trieux are the two main attractions of this hike. In addition to the Lancerf Chapel, this hike allows you to discover the Maison de l'Estuaire. This is infamous because, in 1924, the Traou-Nez site belonged to Pierre Quemeneur and Guillaume Seznec had agreed to buy it: this is where one of the very first episodes of the Seznec Affair took place...

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.

The three chapels of Plourivo are finally united in a single hike! Lancerf overlooks the Trieux, Saint-Ambroise has its miraculous fountain, and Saint-Jean is nestled in the hamlet of Penhoat. Three chapels, three different environments. A modest heritage, but one worth discovering. Hike along the edges of fields, farm tracks and pine woods. Finish your tour by sitting down at a picnic table facing the Trieux, just across the railway line. The setting is peaceful and relaxing.

From the small tourist harbour at Lézardieux, come and explore the Trieux estuary, which is navigable as far as Pontrieux. Here you’ll find the lights that guide night-time navigation on the river, as well as an unobstructed view towards the Île de Bréhat. On the return journey inland, two small chapels line the route.

Lézardrieux is situated on the left bank of the Trieux estuary, which, together with the Jaudy, forms the Pleubian peninsula. This extends into the English Channel via the Sillon de Talbert. Furthermore, with the town of Tréguier to the west, Pontrieux to the south and Paimpol to the east, Lézardrieux is the ideal base from which to explore this part of the Trégor region, close to the Île de Bréhat. This route allows you to discover the Trieux with its lighthouses as well as the Chapel of Kermaria.

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.

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.
