Loguivy-Plougras combines extensive woodland with traces of Breton history. In the Forêt Départemental de Beffou, hiking trails, mountain bike routes and trail-running circuits lead into nature; there is also a visible section of the Roman road and buildings from various periods. You can tailor your stay to trails, culture or both.

Forest trails and high points

The Forêt Départemental de Beffou covers more than 630 hectares and is considered the highest forest in Brittany. At 322 metres, Le Pavé is the highest point in the Trégor. From Le Pavé, the Tro Koad ar Markiz hiking trail runs for 5.2 kilometres. Route information may change; check locally before setting out.

The Forêt Départemental de Beffou also has a 10-kilometre mountain bike circuit and trail-running routes of 9.1, 20.4 and 33.6 kilometres. This range of distances helps you decide what kind of route to plan for your days. The shortest and longest trails differ considerably in length, so when planning, consider which distance you have in mind. Check these route details locally before setting out, too.

Another trace of the forest landscape is a 1.5-kilometre section of the Roman road from Carhaix to Yaudet. From Le Pavé, it runs in a straight line towards Loguivy-Plougras. This historic route adds another perspective to the modern trails: here, you can connect the history of the area’s transport routes with the landscape themes of your stay.

Megaliths and architectural history

The Allée couverte du Brohet is a collective tomb dating from the 3rd millennium BC. At 18 metres long, it is described as one of the longest covered megalithic structures in Brittany. It represents a very early period in the area’s history and differs markedly from the later chapels and churches. Together with the visible section of the Roman road, it offers two distinct ways to explore the past: a prehistoric tomb and a historic transport route.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame du Dresnay was built in the 16th century by the Quelen family of Dresnay. A decree dated 19 January 1955 listed its west façade, including the bell-gable tower, as well as a carved wooden rood-beam inside. The Chapelle Saint-Ivy tells a different architectural story: it was rebuilt between 1861 and 1864 using building components from its predecessor, a 16th-century structure demolished in 1857.

The Église paroissiale Saint-Emilion also dates from the 16th century. The Château et parc de Kerroué adds to the architectural picture as an example of what is known as the Breton Renaissance. The different periods—from the megalithic tomb and Roman road to the chapels, church and Renaissance ensemble—offer several distinct cultural highlights to consider when planning your trip.

Plan access and accommodation

The Allée couverte du Brohet and the visible section of the Roman road can be visited freely and independently all year round. Check access information locally before setting out. Access to the Chapelle Notre-Dame du Dresnay and the Église paroissiale Saint-Emilion is possible only by prior request to the town hall. These differences are useful to bear in mind when planning cultural visits into your days. Loguivy-Plougras is also close to the French N12 national road; this can serve as a general reference point for your journey. If you are looking for hotels in Loguivy-Plougras, first decide whether forest routes or historic sites will be the main focus of your stay.
