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.

Description of the walk

Departure from the square in front of the church in Œuf-en-Ternois.

(S/E) From the square, follow Rue de l'Église eastwards, stay on this road and leave the village until you reach the junction with the D101.

(1) At the water tower, follow the D101 on the left for 300 metres, keeping to the left in single file, and take the grassy path on the left. At the end of the path, turn left onto the road and re-enter the village.

(2) At the sports field, continue straight ahead, pass in front of a reservoir and at the crossroads, follow the road on the left for 300 m until the next crossroads.

(3) At the cross, turn right onto the D105, pass a second cross, continue downhill and then uphill to the next crossroads, ignoring the side streets.

(4) Turn left onto the path after the road on the right. At the end of the path, turn left and then left again towards Bois Robert.

(5) At the woods, take the path on the right and climb a short 200 m.

(6) At the top of the path, turn right and follow the path for about 1,300 metres.

(7) At the junction with the D110, take the hairpin bend to the left heading east, enter the village and you will find yourself in front of the church (S/E).

Notes

At (5), it is not uncommon for the road to be flooded in very wet weather, so if you are taking a group there, it is best to check the conditions beforehand.
Good footwear is recommended.
Don't forget to bring something to drink.

Hello, hike completed at the end of June 2024. We would like to point out that there is very tall grass on the trail before point 7 along the woods, due to the rainy spring. Please be careful of any holes that may be hidden by this grass.

The route is done in the morning, when it's sunny, so bring a hat. There's quite a bit of tarmac, and no particular difficulties except perhaps the "climb" at level 5 at the entrance to the woods. Not very busy on this Sunday morning.
Thank you for sharing.

It's a lovely walk that combines different landscapes: village, forest and countryside. The only downside is that it's not signposted at all in the village, so we had a bit of trouble finding our way around, which was a shame as we wasted a bit of time.

A pleasant route, with quite a lot of tarmac. At this time of year, watch out for hunters (a good hunter sees movement, takes aim and shoots. A bad hunter....................).
Point 4: I think it would be a good idea to indicate to turn left just after the road that goes off to the right. (Because if you follow the AFR path on the left, hikers automatically look for markings that don't exist).

Thank you Boui62 for this lovely little trail.
