Azincourt walks

A beautiful hike along the Henry V trail around the plain where the Battle of Agincourt took place in 1415.

A succession of small roads and paths for a day in the great outdoors.The icing on the cake: a good elevation gain with a superb climb in the Bois de Fressin. For very experienced hikers, I highly recommend the alternative route described in the practical information section.

The old marked trail around Ambricourt is unfortunately poorly maintained or not maintained at all. We have been walking it for 25 years and have encountered difficulties every time (poor signage, paths buried under nettles or difficult to walk on).The start at Teneur allows you to pass (twice) in front of the superb limestone hillside of Teneur. Deer are often visible in or around the Bois de Crépy The path is in very poor condition between points (2) and (6). If possible, avoid the period between mid-June and mid-August. The passage after point (3) will be easier if the field is not too far into the growing season or has already been harvested.

A long route with virtually no roads, based on three short hiking trails: the Maury, the Têtards and the Fréniaux.It is best to walk this route during a dry period, as the paths can be quite rough in wet weather.Three-quarters of the walk takes place on the edge of or within the woods.

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.

The source of the Lys, the Lugy Mill and a beautiful route on the plateau (beautiful views).This hike can be more difficult in wet weather as some of the paths are regularly ploughed.There is some tarmac, but only on small roads. Please note: the path leading up into the Lugy woods after the (5) can be very difficult in wet weather.

A beautiful circular route north of Bergueneuse with pretty paths and good climbs. Get your calves ready and let's go! Please note that in wet weather, some paths become difficult (between (1) and (2), between (5) and (6) in particular), which significantly increases the journey time.

A pleasant short hike on good paths. Beautiful views of the Ternois. Hike modified in April 2023 because theGRP® route has changed.

More than 22 km of trails for a nature trail with some nice climbs and descents. Sharpen your calves!Beautiful views, woods and, if you're lucky, a few wild animals. At least, the ones that the hunters don't slaughter, as we recently freed two roe deer caught in snares (fox traps, but any animal can get caught there, and it's legal!).

Another lovely route in the Ternois hills. Few roads and, in good weather, beautiful panoramic views.If you're lucky, you may also spot some deer (a herd of six at the end of February 2019).

A short but very hilly route (carto-explorer even gives 230m elevation gain) around the village of Eps, unjustly excluded by the marked trails. Beautiful views.Best done on a sunny day - it's magical!

A short but fairly strenuous route with a steep hill and some very grassy paths. On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.

Three nice climbs and a long stroll on the plateau for a walk in the countryside. A very hilly first part, then a long route on the heights before descending to Reclinghem with a magnificent view. The icing on the cake is a little extra circular that brings the elevation gain to over 300 m.

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.

A short walk in the Artois region, particularly pleasant in autumn.

It's a route that will delight altitude enthusiasts (Carto exploreur and the Visorando app suggest it's as high as 500m). What's more, the views are stunning. Route slightly modified in November 2019. All trails are very good as of May 14, 2020 (even if some are very grassy).

A short walk that takes you up to the ridge before descending and going along the Puits sans Fond stream. More pleasant in dry weather, as some paths can be very wet.

This route was inspired by the "Contour des bois" trail suggested by the 7 Vallées Tourist Office. I removed a few tarmac sections and added a few paths. Get ready for a day in the great outdoors.

From the Lys Valley to Noir Mont and discovery of the hidden valley of Maisnil. The route is almost entirely off-road, either on good grassy paths or vaguely paved paths. Do not look for markings, as there are none.

A short, undulating route offering beautiful views.
