Gorges de Corong 5kms
Meet at parking for Menhir de
Quélénec, east of Locarn on D20
A walk that is short in distance but long
on beautiful scenery from the deep wooded gorge with its river
and granite chaos to the far-reaching views from the moorland
return route. The descent and ascent are reasonably gradual.
NB The path involves crossing the large
boulders of the chaos – care will be required.

Around the Château de
Tonquédec 9.5kms
Meet in parking by the chateau –
follow signs from village of Tonquedec on the D31 (SE of
Lannion). If the centre of the village is still blocked, follow
deviation signs.
This is a very special walk, with fine
natural scenery including a stretch along the wide River
Léguer, and much interesting architecture along the way.
There are one or two short climbs, but it is a fairly
straightforward route. The chateau itself, which dates from the
13th century originally, is not currently open to the public,
but a short visit may be possible after the walk.

Morlaix Town Walk and Tea at Manoir Coat
Amour
Meet by Tourist Office at foot of viaduct.
Morlaix lies at the confluence of two
rivers and spreads over three hills. This walk takes in many
aspects of the town’s past, from the once prosperous port
area and impressive viaduct to the medieval heart with its
unique ‘pondalez’ houses, the former castle site
and ancient quarter of St-Mathieu. We then visit the Manoir de
Coat d’Amour for tea in the magnificent gardens and a
brief tour.
