Colembert walks

Lovely family outing in the Desvroise countryside, on small paved country roads.Passes close to streams, forests, villages and farms.

A very nice walk, with no difficulties, through fields, a stretch of forest, the Bois de Beaulieu, where there used to be an abbey, and the discovery of the Stinkal quarry site: very careful during the week when there is a lot of lorry traffic. Unfortunately, you used to be able to take a small path along the railway line, which you took on the site of the quarries. Access to this path is now strictly forbidden, which means that you have to finish your walk on the tarmac from the quarries. This in no way detracts from the charm of the start of the walk.

Enjoy varied landscapes in the heart of the Samer countryside, with nature, local heritage and a bucolic atmosphere.

A friendly walk to discover Samer's heritage: its iconic sites, typical landscapes and local treasures, combining nature and history. The route is easily accessible for people with pushchairs and/or pets.

The village of Bazinghen, from the top of which you can see the seven church spires of the neighbouring villages, offers a unique walk through the Boulogne countryside and its marshes.

A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.

During this route, walkers will pass through the Tournehem National Forest, which covers 988 hectares. They will see old windmills and the Hem valley.This is a signposted trail maintained by the Pays de Saint-Omer Urban Community.

A lovely walk through woods and hedged farmland to the pretty Chapelle Saint-Louis. It's a signposted trail run by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.

The Holque trail, starting from Audembert, is an ideal way to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Deux-Caps countryside.

A beautiful walk taking you through several natural environments: dunes, forests, beaches and cliffs.

A pleasant hike starting from Bezinghem and passing near Zoteux, Course and the centre of Doudeauville. Much of the route is on well-maintained paths. It alternates between countryside and small villages, as well as crossing Doudeauville on a road that runs pleasantly alongside the Course. The hills add a reasonable amount of elevation to this family hike.

A loop from the old fort of Ambleteuse to Cap Gris Nez: go along the cliffs by the sea and return inland via the remains of blockhouses.

This path takes you to one of the four villages of the Pays du Brédenarde, Nortkerque, which can be translated as ‘church of the North’. Geologically, the former Pays du Brédenarde consists of a layer of clay resting on chalk that overlooks the coastal plain. It is a landscape of hedgerows, fruit trees and livestock farming. In the past, the Brédenarde also included the municipalities of Audruicq, Zutkerque and Polincove. (4) Please note: the footbridge no longer exists; access is impossible until further notice (see practical information).

This easy circuit will take you to Mont de Couple, at an altitude of 163 metres, which offers a panoramic view of the pretty town of Wissant and the Gris-Nez and Blanc-Nez lighthouses. It uses some sections of the GR®128 and 145 trails.

A mix of surprising landscapes: a faux medieval castle, a forest of deciduous and coniferous trees, then you come out at the top of a dune overlooking the beach. Most of the walk is in the shade and there is a beach for picnics.

Walk from Wissant, through fields and hamlets, to discover the coast and hinterland between Wissant and Cap Blanc-Nez. There are lovely views from the various hills along the way.

Located in a protected natural area, the Fartz trail, dotted with bird observatories, lets you discover all the flora and fauna of Wissant bay.

Surrounded by the two capes of Gris Nez and Blanc Nez, the bay of Wissant offers beautiful panoramic views along its kilometres of dunes.

A long route with very little tarmac and a superb climb. There are also a few long straight stretches through the fields that will delight many! Late July 2020: - the section between points 6 and 7 is in excellent condition. - at point 13, after the copse, you cross a maize field for about fifty metres (the path is clearly marked) before finding the track.

South of Audruicq, discover Brédenarde, a land of hedgerows, hedges and fruit trees. Starting from Zutkerque or Polincove, take the Dame aux Loups trail, named in honour of Baroness de Draëck. You can admire her castle, the first hills of Artois and follow the winding course of the Hem, the river of mills.

A very pretty tour around the villages of Beussent, Montcavrel and Enquin-sur-Baillon. Very varied landscapes with small roads and farm tracks. An easy but challenging hike. You will have the chance to see different aspects of the Course valley, with its cress farms still in operation. Pleasant picnic stop in Enquin sur Baillon (shaded table) or Beussent, near the river. The departure point is Enquinehaut because the descent to the Course is splendid. You will see pretty lost valleys.

An invigorating seaside walk to the heights of Sangatte, via the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez. A walk combining nature and culture, in a place that has been awarded the Grand Site de France label since 2011. Numerous relics of the Second World War bear witness to the past, amid breathtaking scenery.

Start on the country side, across a field with Cap Blanc Nez in the distance behind you and the English cliffs on your right, in fine weather. Halfway along, take a break on the beach. Return to the top of the cliffs, where you'll appreciate all the notches and the panoramic view of Cap Gris Nez.26/06/2023 The hike has been modified because the passage is forbidden by the hole at Quette and the crossing of the Châtelet stream cannot be made anymore via the dunes.

A very pleasant walk with magnificent views of Wissant beach, Cap Gris Nez, Cap Blanc Nez and the English coastline.

A magnificent hike to admire the ballet of ferries and ships of all kinds in the Strait of Dover. In good weather, you can admire the English coastline... Don't forget to take a look at the remains of the first shaft dug for the Channel Tunnel, work on which began in 1875 under Napoleon III. Access to the Mont d'Hubert car park, the starting point for this hike, is now prohibited, so you must start from the car park at the bottom of the Cap Blanc Nez obelisk.

The cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez rise 130 m above the sea. From the Dover Patrol Monument erected at the top of the headland, there is a breathtaking view of Cap Gris Nez and Wissant Bay on one side, Calais on the other, with the English coast opposite.

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.

Easy hike in two loops, discovering the Baie de la Canche and its nature reserve, through dune woods with lovely views over the bay and Le Touquet in the first part, then through marshes and the bay, with access to the beach. Return through a wild cherry wood.
