Prat walks

Although this walk uses a few tarmac roads, priority has been given here to forest paths and tracks open to farm machinery. In return, it offers magnificent scenery both around Poulloguer Pond and along the stream of the same name, with a very pleasant walk through the village of Coatascorn, a quintessential Trégor village with all its stone houses.

There is virtually no elevation gain on this walk in the Trégor forest. Just magnificent scenery, starting with paths through chestnut trees, then a walk along the banks of the Léguer, ending with a visit to the imposing ruins of Tonquédec Castle. At the end of the walk, don't forget to visit the village church.

There are two historic sites along this walk: Tonquédec Castle with its walls and restoration work, and the magnificent little Kerfons Chapel. All this is complemented by a relaxing walk along the Léguer river.

This walk through the heritage of Rospez is offered by the "heritage" group of the "Ro'Spered" association. The remarkable sites linked together are very diverse: parish church, chapels, fountain, crosses or calvaries, flax scutching machine, Bronze Age tumulus, restored wash house... crossroads of three Roman roads... A hike through the Rospez countryside, discovering the remains of a past dating back nearly three millennia...

There is virtually no elevation gain on this route, which follows small forest paths alongside a river and stream, allowing you to enjoy the sound of the water and the birdsong. There is no answer to the mystery of the menhirs when faced with this colossus weighing several tonnes, which has stood in this small clearing for over 5,000 years.

A refreshing walk through the woods and along the Léguer.

Pontrieux, a charming little town, serves as the starting point for this idyllic walk along the Trieux upstream. There used to be twenty-five mills between Pontrieux and Guingamp. Many of them still remain. Let’s set off to explore this river.

Forest paths and sunken lanes lead walkers along the "Sentier des Améthystes" (Amethyst Trail) alongside the Léguer and then the Saint-Éturien stream, before arriving at a centuries-old beech tree. The walk starts and ends at the Chapelle des Sept-Saints: a place of great significance for the friendship between Islam and Christianity.

A beautiful hike between Pédernec and Tréglamus on different types of paths. You will walk through the countryside, passing pretty hamlets and isolated farms, mainly on PR® or GR® trails. Between the views of the Ménez Bré summit and the wind farms, you will encounter no difficulty on the route, except for a few slightly damp sections, depending on the season, in the sunken paths.

This circular walk in the Pedernecoise countryside will take you to the summit of Ménez Bré, the highest point in Trégor at an altitude of 302 metres. At the foot of the Saint-Hervé Chapel, you will have a 360° view of the Guingamp region and the Pink Granite Coast to the Monts d'Arrée. Apart from the fairly steep climb to the summit, you will encounter no difficulty on this hike. Choose a sunny day to enjoy the most magnificent view possible.

During this walk, you will discover Tréguier with its Saint-Yves cathedral, narrow cobbled streets and stone houses, including that of Ernest Renan, a famous writer of the late 19th century. You will also enjoy the banks of the Guindy, a small river that flows into the Jaudy. As both rivers are subject to tidal influences, it is advisable to set off an hour before high tide to make the most of the scenery.

Downstream from Lannion, the Léguer is fed by several streams: the Porz al Lan, the Kerlouzouen and the Pontol. After following the Léguer, we invite you to explore these streams, which are part of the charm of this region. All that remains is to let your imagination take you back in time to when the various mills along the banks were still in operation, washing flax and hemp and, in some cases, grinding wheat.

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

After walking along the Bizien Mill Stream, you will come across the first routoirs. Then, after crossing the Rolland Mill, there is a whole route to explore the main routoirs of the Trégorrois region.

Whilst the level of the Léguer, as it flows through Lannion, is influenced by the tides, further upstream, thanks to several retaining walls, the flow is much more steady. Moreover, the entire area is protected as it serves as a water catchment area for the region. This route therefore offers an exploration of this coastal river, upstream of Lannion, with a return journey through the surrounding hills.

A circular route starting from the car park at Château de la Roche Jagu, allowing you to explore the château grounds (open all year round), the surrounding countryside and the banks of the Trieux, whilst enjoying beautiful views of the river. The duration and distance are approximate; it all depends on how long you fancy wandering around the grounds.

This short, easy walk takes you through the Louargat countryside to discover the two menhirs of Pergat, one of which is among the largest in Europe. You’ll follow the Ruisseau du Frout through its valley, which can be quite damp in places, before reaching the hamlet of Manaty. From there, you’ll head into the Koad Bré Forest at the foot of Ménez Bré before reaching Louargat via some lovely forest paths.

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.

This hike has three parts, each offering a different landscape. First, there is a long walk along the Trieux. This leads to the remarkable site of Frynaudour (confluence, blue viaduct, wreck). The trail then follows the banks of the Leff with a few slopes. Finally, a walk along sunken paths and small roads will take you to the Trieux.

This is a lovely, easy little walk in the countryside around Tréglamus. You will pass from one hamlet to another, travelling along a wide variety of paths (sunken, white, forest, grassy and a little tarmac) and landscapes (forests, stream banks, fields, pastures, etc.).

From Tréguier, the town of Ernest Renan and capital of Trégor with its Saint-Yves Cathedral, come and stroll along the Guindy. You will then discover the small Kélomad Chapel, rebuilt in the early 19th century, and walk along the old Nord-Trégor railway line.

The Trégor region boasts a rich religious heritage. This walk allows you to discover several examples, which, whilst not exceptional, are classic in their beauty and aesthetic appeal. This walk also allows you to enjoy the lush countryside and the Breton bocage. Moments of tranquillity and exertion are always welcome in this mild climate.

This walk, suitable for walkers of all ages, takes you through wooded, shaded areas along sunken paths as well as fields and meadows. It features three remarkable sites: the centuries-old beech tree, the Chapel of the Seven Saints and the Saint-Éturien stream, where the lucky ones may find amethyst crystals.

At high tide, the Léguer reaches its maximum level. The landscape is then truly beautiful, provided the sun is shining. The green of the trees is reflected among the boats on the blue water. At low tide, the landscape is different and the bottom of the Léguer, which is sometimes muddy, gives this coastal river a different appearance.

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 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.

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.

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.

The aim is to follow the course of the Saint-Éturien stream and then the Léguer river from Plouaret-Trégor station to Lannion station. Plan to return by train.

A pleasant route through the Pleudaniel countryside and along the Trieux, either overlooking it or running alongside it.Several beautiful wayside crosses mark this route, as well as two chapels.Discover a tide mill and oyster farming.

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.

A short hike to enjoy with the family. The sea and countryside are on the agenda.

The tour of the paper mill valley is a short hike through the forest that runs alongside the Léguer river and passes by the ruins of an old factory and a dam.

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.

Hike in the Louannec countryside, among cows and coconut fields, then along the coastal path and beach.

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.

To the south of Belle-Île-en-Terre, a forest hides many secrets. It comprises two parts separated by the Léguer river: to the east, the Coat an Hay State Forest (Le Bois du Jour) and to the west, the Coat an Noz State Forest (Le Bois de la Nuit). In the latter, with a 19th-century castle undergoing restoration and a former ironworks site (lead mine), the route follows wide paths that are sometimes poorly lit by daylight.

Three circular routes to suit everyone's needs, but all of them allow you to discover the Trégorrois region and the coast.

This walk in the Trégorrois region will take you first to Palud beach (Port l'Epine), then to the woods of Trévou-Tréguirec, before visiting the hinterland of Trélévern with its streams and lakes, and finally to the Vallée des Moulins along the Ruisseau de Dourdu. Finally, the coastal path runs along the cove of Perros, with Perros-Guirec filling the horizon to the west.

The hinterland of Perros-Guirec, with, at the end of the route, the footpath running alongside the Étang du Lenn.

What could be more unusual than a hike in the bed of an estuary? What could be more romantic than a walk up the bed of a rushing stream? What could be more relaxing than a stroll through the green countryside of Trégor? What could be more spectacular than a panoramic view of an estuary? You will discover all this during this walk, which we recommend you do at high tide with low or medium coefficients (below 80).

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.

While the GR®34 or "Sentier des Douaniers" is one of the best-known walks in the region, impressive with its piles of pink granite, some of which reach 20 metres in height, the Vallée des Traouïéros is more secret but remains a magical world with the Maison des Korrigans, the Auge du Lépreux, the Trou de l'Enfer and its caves. The route proposed here takes you "from pink to green" as close to nature as possible, with a touch of grey from the slate roofs of Breton houses. This is definitely a hike that will show you all the colours of the rainbow!

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.

Start with an urban walk to discover La Clarté and part of Perros-Guirec, then continue along the Pink Granite Coast via the Chemin des Douaniers and finish at Ploumanac'h, voted "France's favourite village" in 2015.
