Difficult
Departure from Aumerval (Pas-de-Calais)
A very pleasant nature trail in dry weather, but becomes more challenging in wet weather: grassy sections (a good test for your shoes, deep ruts, muddy sections).
Warning: October 2024. While it's relatively easy to get through the ruts, the last part of the path out of the wood (before point 9) is in a terrible state. The path has been broken up by machinery and you can only pass along the sides, which are themselves very difficult. It's very slippery and sometimes you have to change sides, which is a real challenge. This used to be a signposted mountain bike trail, is it still?

This circular hike offers a superb hike that combines mining history, nature and redevelopment. You will take an old mining railway line (a former railway line used to transport coal) that crosses the Bois des Dames to take you to the Chartreuse des Dames in Gosnay.

Departure from Vendin-lès-Béthune (Pas-de-Calais)
A short, unpretentious route with no significant elevation gain in the Béthune countryside. A mix of footpaths, farm tracks and small roads to keep you going for a good half-day.

Departure from Camblain-Châtelain (Pas-de-Calais)
From Camblain, the route quickly climbs as you make your way to Floringhem. The descent to Pernes follows a very beautiful path. I have recently altered the route through Pernes, using different side lanes. It is after Marest that things get a bit tricky, with sections of the path that can be quite muddy (though the paths have improved considerably in recent times). The return route goes via Mont Duquenne.

Moderate
Departure from Lapugnoy (Pas-de-Calais)
A lovely walk that takes you through the Bois des Dames State Forest, with its rich biodiversity and a good climb, returning via Labeuvrière and passing over the slag heap. A bit of mining history: in 1920, many Polish workers arrived in Lapugnoy, where they were forced to build the barracks to house themselves.
Val de Clarence and Bois de Roquelaure

Difficult
Departure from Lapugnoy (Pas-de-Calais)
A patchwork of the various marked trails in the area for a long stroll, ending at the Bois de Roquelaure. It is a highly urbanised area, but you still feel as though you are in the countryside.
La Creuse de Boyaval

-417 ft
5h 05
Difficult
Departure from Sains-lès-Pernes (Pas-de-Calais)
In the Ternois, after a loop on the small roads of Sains-les-Pernes, head towards Fiefs, before descending to Boyaval via a wild hollow and returning to Sains-les-Pernes via the Chemin Vert, which would benefit from regular maintenance.
It is best to walk this route in dry weather, as some sections are difficult.
This is a difficult route because the paths are tricky and you need to be careful not to miss the entrances to some of the trails.
