Plourivo walks
Family trail in the woods of Plourivo
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.
From Lancerf to the Trieux
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...
Along the Trieux via the Penhoat woods
Wander along the eastern bank of the Trieux through heathland, pine forests and magnificent viewpoints. You’ll be immersed in its unique historical and natural heritage: Château de la Roche-Jagu, flax drying sheds, steam railway line, Maison de l’Estuaire, and protected flora and fauna.
Around Paimpol via the footpaths
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.
The cross-country trails of Plourivo (Orange Trail)
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.
The three chapels of Plourivo (red route)
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.
Trieux Loop part 1 (Boucle du Trieux)
Loop along part of the Trieux river towards the sea and back through the countryside.
Walk through woods and salt meadows around Beauport Abbey
This walk takes you along beautiful sunken paths lined with embankment walls to the heights of Beauport Abbey, where you can discover the deciduous and coniferous woods that dominate the site. You then descend towards the abbey, which you can see from the reed bed accessible via a walkway on stilts. You then reach Cruckin Island via the dyke and salt meadows. From there, you have a superb view of Guilben Point, Saint-Riom Island and the Mez Goëlo Islands.
From Beauport Abbey to the village of Kerfot through the woods
A walk along the Ruisseau du Correc that will take you from Beauport Abbey to the village of Kerfot.
You will walk almost exclusively through woodland on wide paths.
Best undertaken between May and October, as some paths may be muddy in winter and early spring.
The Pointe de Loguivy de la Mer
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.
From Beauport Abbey to Pointe de Guilben
This is an easy hike. Running along the shore, it offers breathtaking views of Beauport and Paimpol bays.
Street art, the old town and the port of Paimpol
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
In the woods of Penhouat-Lancerf
A magnificent walk through a pine forest. After following the Trieux river and passing through a tunnel through the hill, we walk alongside the Trieux tourist railway line to admire the chimneys of the Château de la Roche Jagu in the distance and reach the Saint-Jean Chapel. Don't be alarmed by the sound of gunshots: there is a clay pigeon shooting range nearby.
From Traounez to Frynaudour in the Bois de Penhoat-Lancerf
A relatively easy hike, but with some elevation changes. Half of the route runs along the Trieux River, with higher sections offering views of Château de la Roche Jagu and even the Lézardrieux bridge in the distance.
Circular Pors Even in Ploubazlanec
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.).
From Paimpol to Loguivy de la Mer via Pointe de l'Arcouest
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.
On the banks of the Leff and Trieux rivers
A sometimes uneven walk through the undergrowth along two Breton rivers, offering a different view depending on the tide level.
Between land and river at Quemper-Guézennec
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.
Lézardrieux and the Trieux
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.
