Camping Milin Kerhe

For more nature-based activities, you can wade out into the river to fish for salmon or trout, venture up into the treetops at the Indian Forest adventure park 40 minutes away or saddle up for a ride from one of the stables within a half-hour drive. Leave the river behind for a bit and take the half-hour drive to the coast for a different set of watery views: there are fab sandy beaches at Plage Bonaparte and around Plougrescant, and some gorgeous sights to be seen along the Pink Granite Coast (perhaps best viewed on a coastal stroll from the little town of Ploumanac’h, 50 minutes away). For town time, stick by the coast for the cobbled streets and seafood restaurants of Paimpol and Treguier or head downstream to Pontrieux for boat trips to see the medieval buildings. Also by the river are the fortified mansion and gardens of Château de la Roche-Jagu (25 minutes from the site).
