Suggested Outings:
Beautiful walks across the farm and in its vicinity. Country lanes and woodlands and the vast rolling hillsides beyond, past megalithic stones and at Kerpert through dreamy tunnel walks in hardwood forests that conjure up the land of Arthurian legend.
There is a great little museum in Saint Connan – Etang Neuf to commemorate the local Resistance during WWII with a lovely cafe to visit next to the lake.
Not far away near Saint Pever you will find extensive and well sign-posted forest walks.
15 mins drive away is the beautiful market town of Quintin with its two chateaux, market day on Tuesdays, its supermarkets, petrol stations, shops, banks and post office. There is also a bus that connects you to Saint Brieuc and the SNCF network if needed.
Visit the historic “Abbaye de Bon-Repos” and the fascinating “Forges des Salles“, the site of an early industrial community forging metal for local use. You can walk along the Nantes and Brest canal and check out the craft market on Sunday mornings.
1/2h to the south towards Rostrenen at at Saint Roch you can follow the river Blavet on an ice age rock cascade of boulders and clear pools in deep forest.
1/2 h drive to the west are the lake of Kerné Uhel, the glacial erratics (Gorge de Toul Goulic) and the alternative village of Tremargat. 1h drive to the west lie the Monts d’Aree with the town of Huelgoat and the Valley of the Saints, unexpectedly a hillside, of fascinating old and new stone sculptures, helping to revitalise this ancient Breton craft.
There is also the choice of north coast beaches within 3/4 h drive.
The farm Kerolivier, 22480 Canihuel is easy to find with GPS, fabulously off the beaten track in rural Cotes D’Armor, central Brittany, 500m up the road from the neighbouring Manoir Kerolivier of Saint Gilles Pligeaux. Please contact us, if you require assistance with directions.
