Tour of the marshes at Beuvry
A walk through ponds, canals and marshes, where you'll be surrounded by water in the commune of Beuvry.
Passing by the Beuvry mill
This walk starting from Labourse takes you through Parc de la Loisne and past the Beuvry mill, all along good paths and with a touch of town life and a bit of history. In 2008, following archaeological excavations, two sites dating from the Iron Age and the Gallo-Roman period were uncovered.
Loisne Park via Verquigneul
This beautiful walk, starting from Labourse, takes you through Leo Lagrange Park. Then a short detour through Verquigneul, before reaching Loisne Park and the slag heap, all along good paths and tracks.
Les Chantiers in Beuvry
A beautiful walk along the banks of the Canal d'Aire in La Bassée. An invitation to stroll through remarkable landscapes such as the Marais de l'Avoué and the Prévôté de Gorre. The British military cemetery in Gorre is a reminder of the Great War.
La catorive à Béthune
Venez découvrir Béthune avec ses anciens canaux, au départ, puis son port de plaisance, sans oublier le centre ville avec son beffroi.
Et un, et deux, et trois terrils
Bien sûr, ce ne sont pas les plus hauts terrils de la région, mais les deux terrils de Verquin sont restés très sauvages et, sur celui de Labourse, il y a assez d'espace et de sentiers pour varier l'itinéraire. Ce parcours en 8 peut facilement être scindé en deux boucles de 6 à 8 km. C'est un parcours assez compliqué que j'ai détaillé au maximum. Néanmoins, je recommande d'utiliser l'application surtout sur les terrils : celui de Labourse possède un grand nombre de sentiers et on peut facilement modifier le parcours.
Voyettes and paths of the Béthunois
A short country walk in the middle of the Béthune-Nœux-Bruay conurbation.
Around Noeux-les-Mines
This hike across fields will take you through the villages of Barlin and Houchin. On the way back, you will see the ski slope created in 1996 and built on a former slag heap.
In the4th century, Noeux was called Vitris. The village was destroyed by the Normans in 882. The main activities at that time were agriculture, milling, sugar refining and brewing.
Mining began in 1850. The last mine was closed in 1968.
Les deux terrils de Nœux-les-Mines
Semi-urban route. After a stroll through the fields, you pass by the two slag heaps of Nœux. This hike can be made difficult by bad weather, especially when descending the slag heap on ski trail no. 2, where the stairs are quite impressive. The ascent of slag heap no. 1 is not too difficult and the summit offers a panoramic view of the region. Only the end, in the town, may lack appeal, but the streets in this area are not very busy.
From Nœux to the Bouvigny antenna
The route is fairly straightforward overall (the area is well signposted).
This hike presents no difficulties other than its length and the condition of the paths when wet.
December 2024: I changed the end from (13). It is longer, but more pleasant.
The Val de Loisne
A short route through the Nœux countryside. It crosses several marked trails and the paths are in good condition. It is a semi-urban route and therefore follows a few roads that may be busy.
La Houchinel from Houchin
This hike from Houchin will allow you to discover another side of the mining basin without much difficulty along beautiful trails.
A bit of history: the pit, 12 mining companies from Noeux-les-Mines. Mining began in 1939 and was halted in 1940 with the German occupation and never resumed.
