Coyecques walks
Hills and valleys in Coyecques
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.
From Reclinghem to Mont d'Erny
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.
Around Bomy
A short walk in the Artois region, particularly pleasant in autumn.
An uphill battle
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).
Back to the Elnes hillside
This place is so beautiful that it deserves a second route.Another good climb with 2 nice climbs and a maximum of paths and trails.
Difficult in dry weather and very difficult in wet weather.
The Surgeon hills
A short, undulating route offering beautiful views.
From Turkey to Fond Breton (in less than 10 km!)
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.
Le Puits sans Fond stream
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.
Circuit d'Ecques par les landes
Leave Ecques via the same route, then take a long, flat walk through the fields to reach Heuringhem. Continue across the moors of Blendecques, Rietz de l'Église and Bibrou before reaching Quiestède via Les Bruyères. Return via the Bois d'Ecques.
The route is relatively flat, but there are a few wet areas (more depending on the weather). During hunting season, avoid Sundays, as some communal woods are rented to hunting clubs!
Route modified and improved in September 2024 to avoid the D 190.
The pond trail in Mametz
A short 6 km walk to discover the Étangs de la Sauvagine de Mametz and the Étangs de Rebecques.
The upper Lys valley
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.
Yellow River Trail
A short walk around the La Coupole blockhouse, where forest and magnificent ponds come together.
The Wavrans Valley
The Wavrans-sur-l'Aa nature reserve consists of two hillsides separated by a dry valley, Mont Carrière and Montagne d'Elnes. The chalky slopes of the reserve are steep and unusual for the region. They were also "sculpted" by the bombs of the Second World War.
Le Puits sans Fond depuis Febvin-Palfart
C’est un parcours en pleine nature. Sur les hauteurs, le randonneur apercevra l’Audomarois, les Monts des Flandres et le bassin minier. C'est un sentier balisé de la Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.
Walk through the Artois Heights
A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.
On the ridges around Bergueneuse
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!).
The humpback bridge at the start of Équirre
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.
From La Nave to Puits Sans Fond
Numerous trails for a walk that stretches between mountains and valleys.This hike is a great way to spend a day outdoors.
At the end of December 2019, after the rains, the paths became very difficult and particularly slippery (even on the flat sections!), both on the normal route and on the alternative route. Under these conditions, the walk can be classified as very difficult.
The Créquy Woods
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.
Circular North loop of Bergueneuse
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.
Hugo Trail in Racquinghem
This route will take you through several different types of landscape: the Plateau des Landes regional nature reserve, the plain and the Neuffossé Canal. The latter separates the Pas-de-Calais department from the Nord department.
It is a marked trail maintained by the Pays de Saint-Omer Urban Community.
Henry V Trail in Azincourt
A beautiful hike along the Henry V trail around the plain where the Battle of Agincourt took place in 1415.
The Fontinettes boat elevator
The Sentier des Fontinettes invites you to discover the often overlooked natural riches of Arques: from the Étang de Beauséjour to the Étang de Malhôve, via the Forêt de Rihoult (forest) and the canal towpath, not forgetting the nautical base and boat lift.
La Creuse de Boyaval
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.
Where Justice can lead to Hell
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).
Eps and Herbeval mountains
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!
