Saint-Pol-de-Léon walks

Route from Roscoff to the Sainte-Anne islet following the GR®34, with beautiful viewpoints.

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.

With alternating fine white sandy beaches, rugged rocky coastlines and green landscapes, the island of Léon enjoys a microclimate where early potatoes are the main crop, grown in soil fertilised by seaweed.

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.

Discover the Finistère region of Trégor and the Bay of Morlaix, protected by Vauban with the Château du Taureau. Discover that here too you are in oyster country. You will also see the Barnénez peninsula, famous for its spectacular cairns: stone tombs dating from the Neolithic period (around 4,000 BC).

Hike along the GR®34 at the eastern entrance to Morlaix Bay. Not particularly difficult, but there are a few tricky descents and ascents. The trail passes by some magnificent properties and offers breathtaking views of Morlaix Bay. Best done in both directions, at different times of day and at different times of the tide.

Roc'h ar Feunteun, Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel, a line of jagged ridges. In the heart of the Armorique Regional Nature Park, the Monts d'Arrée rise up in a landscape of moors, heather and gorse.

Before or after a refreshing dip in the sea at the large beach of Goas Lagorn, this is a very short loop with a slight elevation gain, exploring the old path once used by seaweed harvesters. Reed beds, ferns, pine undergrowth, sunken paths, rocky outcrops and superb views of the sea await you!

With its rich church and parish enclosure, Pencran stretches across the hill south of Landerneau and then plunges down into green rural valleys. The first part of this trail leaves the village and passes through residential neighbourhoods facing Landerneau. It then joins the countryside, following paths through the woods and farm tracks. In addition to the parish enclosure, you will discover the bucolic atmosphere of a tree-lined canalised stream and the surprising Fontaine de la Vierge (Virgin's Fountain), set in a small, well-preserved sanctuary.

An easy coastal walk. A short return trip toward the center of the island leads to a viewpoint and a superb covered walkway.

Nestled in a green valley, this commune has all the charm of the mountain countryside, with its sunken lanes, hedgerows, streams and rugged terrain.

Does the Rivière d'Argent (Silver River), which glitters beneath the canopy of trees, owe its name to its bright sparkle in the twilight, or is it the nuggets that have escaped from the old mine that give it such a luminous appearance? The walk, which follows the mine's supply channel and then the turbulent course of the river, may provide the answer. It appears that the route is no longer passable between points 4 and 6. If you venture there, please confirm this on the comments page.

In the heart of the Huelgoat Forest, this woodland setting hides a wealth of heritage treasures. The Mine Canal will take you to the old silver-lead mine and then on to the most iconic sites in this legendary forest.
