Scrignac walks

On this walk, you’ll follow a short section of the Voie Verte No. 7 (La Vélodyssée ) before heading into the northern part of the Huelgoat Forest and passing through several hamlets in the Monts d’Arrée.

A walk through the Huelgoat State Forest, following in the footsteps of roe deer, which you may frequently spot if you remain quiet and keep a look-out. A roe deer’s footprint can be recognised by its inverted heart shape.

This walk will first take you along a quiet road through the surrounding hills with beautiful views, then along forest paths on the banks of the Aulne, in the shade of the trees and with lovely opportunities to dip your feet in the water.

A hike in the heart of the Huelgoat forest, rich in legends but away from the tourist trails. A typical Central Brittany landscape awaits you with forests, hills, valleys, rivers, houses, calvaries and Breton churches.

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.

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.

Starting from the village of Huelgoat, skirting the lake and following the winding banks of the River Fao, this walk will take you on a journey of discovery through hamlets and heritage sites steeped in history and ancient traditions.

The walk is mainly in the Forest of Huelgoat, starting from Lake Huelgoat with little elevation gain. Points of interest: the Devil's Cave, the Virgin's Household, the Trembling Rock, the Red Bridge, Artus' Cave, the Menhir of the Boar Pond, the Boar Pond, the viewpoint, Artus' Camp.

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.

Guerlesquin, a small town full of character, was known in the 11th century for its fairs. From the 17th century, beautiful buildings remain in the town centre: the Présidial, the Market Halls and the Church. The town is close to the Étang du Guic, where two fine sandy beaches await walkers.After walking around the lake, we explore the nearby forest, moving in turn from Finistère into Côtes-d’Armor before returning to Finistère. Indeed, it is the river ‘Le Guic’ that forms the departmental boundary.

Here is a walk that takes you on a journey of discovery through the Plouyé countryside, with several chapels dotted along the route.

This walk takes you through the valleys and over the peaks of La Feuillée, once the seat of a very important commandery of the Order of the Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem.

On the border between Léon and Cornouaille, at the foot of the Roc'h mountain range (Roc'h Trédudon, Roc'h Trévézel), the iconic backbone of the Monts d'Arrée, La Feuillée, Brittany's highest village, is well worth a visit.

Near Lake Saint-Michel, a short walk around Brennilis to explore the village and a Neolithic site.

A short walk along the Étang du Moulin Neuf, with opportunities to spot birds and, if you’re lucky, otters.

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.

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

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.
