A walk through the Ternois countryside, between woodland and open countryside, taking you to the headwaters of the Ternoise and the woods of Saint-Pol and Saint-Michel, where, with a bit of luck and if you keep quiet, you might spot some roe deer.

Bois Robert in Œuf-en-Ternois
A short walk around and through a village in the Ternois region called Oeuf-en-Ternois. The walk through the village is interesting and the paths are very pleasant. At the Bois Robert crossroads, you may, like me, encounter a few deer.
Le Moulin Blanc at the start of Brias
A beautiful route starting from Brias with its church and castle towards the Moulin Blanc plain, the village of Valhuon and the Bois d'Antigneul, where it is not uncommon to encounter a few deer. This route is marked in yellow for the most part and is fairly easy to follow and without difficulty.

Please note: the path is closed during the hunting season.
Le Pronay and its “cathedral”
Le Pronay, a hamlet of Ramecourt with its ‘Cathedral’ (3), so named by one of our members: it is in fact a chapel. You’ll reach it by crossing the Bois de Pronay. For the return journey, follow a section of the old railway line from Saint-Pol to Frévent and, to finish, you’ll pass in front of Sains Castle.
A largely shaded walk.

A pleasant walk starting from Boubers-sur-Canche, with its castle and St Leger’s Church, which, passing through La Canche, leads to the Vacquerie-le-Boucq plateau, skirting the Bois Madame, then descends along the Bois des Avents back to Boubers-sur-Canche.

Superb views over the plain and its villages.It’s best to do this walk in dry weather, as the paths can be difficult when wet.
The Maronnes Hills
A lovely hike in the Ternois region starting from the charming village of Humières with its castle and cave.
You’ll be walking mainly on paths and trails that can get muddy in wet weather, but the scenery quickly makes you forget that.
In the footsteps of Charles V, starting from Vieil-Hesdin
Following in the footsteps of Charles V (1500–1558) from Vieil-Hesdin, you’ll pass an old convent and cross the River Canche. The path will take you up to the heights of Le Quesnoy-en-Artois, and the return journey is all downhill via the Chemin des Morts.

A short walk around Fressin with a few climbs through lovely scenery. Head up through the Fressin woods, cross the Planquette, and walk across the plateau where you’ll find great photo opportunities of Fressin Castle – a castle you’ll get to see up close on the way back.The path is well signposted in yellow. Some might say there’s no point in detailing signposted paths, but for me it’s important to share them with the community.
The humpback bridge at the start of Équirre
Starting from Équirre Castle, which was reduced by half following a fire, this walk takes you to the small village of Prédefin and back via the Lisbourg plain. The paths taken by the GRP® Tour du Ternois Nord are partly cultivated between points (8) and (9), but don't hesitate to cross them as they are often used by farmers.
