Departure from Créquy (Pas-de-Calais)
Another option, slightly shorter but still quite challenging, offers views of the Créquoise valley.
The route through the Bois de Créquy is the same as on the other walk: ‘The Bois de Créquy’, but the return journey takes you down the other side, offering a lovely view of the valley.

Departure from Créquy (Pas-de-Calais)
A long route with virtually no roads, making use of three short-distance hiking trails: the Maury, the Têtards and the Fréniaux.It’s best to go during a dry spell, as the paths can be quite poor in wet weather.Three-quarters of the walk takes place on the edge of or within the woods.

Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A long walk around the Planquette Valley, culminating in a traverse of the Hesdin Forest.
Not to mention the lovely paths around Cavron-Saint-Martin.
And, of course, I made sure not to skip the lovely climb up the Bois de Fressin, which is a real treat for the calves.
When I went there in early September 2023, the paths were in excellent condition, but the first rains will quickly wear them down and the walk will become very difficult.
Using the app makes finding your way much easier!

Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A succession of small roads and paths for a day in the great outdoors.The icing on the cake: a good elevation gain with a superb climb in the Bois de Fressin.
For very experienced hikers, I highly recommend the alternative route described in the practical information section.
The Chevrette Trail in Fressin

Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A short walk around Fressin with a few climbs through lovely scenery. Head up through the Fressin woods, cross the Planquette, and walk across the plateau where you’ll find great photo opportunities of Fressin Castle – a castle you’ll get to see up close on the way back.The path is well signposted in yellow. Some might say there’s no point in detailing signposted paths, but for me it’s important to share them with the community.

Departure from Coupelle-Vieille (Pas-de-Calais)
A route amongst the wind turbines with very little tarmac.
I’ve tried to stick to the ‘wildest’ paths, which may make the walk a little trickier in wet weather.
It’s easy to combine this walk with the one from Fruges to the Bois de Radinghem to make a 28 km route.

Departure from Fruges (Pas-de-Calais)
This varied, not overly difficult route is largely based on the ‘7 Bell Towers’ trail. You’ll therefore come across a few sections marked in yellow.

Departure from Verchocq (Pas-de-Calais)
Exploring the Vallon de Beaussart and passing close to the Bois de Renty, always in the hope of spotting some wildlife: on 16 October, there were only a few pheasants, but they practically let you stroke them. A real treat for hunters!
There are practically no roads on this route.

Departure from Renty (Pas-de-Calais)
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.

Departure from Saint-Michel-sous-Bois (Pas-de-Calais)
Same starting point as for the “5-bois-et-quelques-raidillons” hike, but this route is a bit longer, with a decent climb, and avoids walking along the D129.
I think the app is essential, especially as the GR® markings are very faint (you might even wonder if this legendary GR® still exists?).

This route, with very little tarmac, follows the Charles Quint trail, to which a short circular loop through unspoilt countryside with lovely views has been added.

Departure from Rollancourt (Pas-de-Calais)
A fairly long but not overly difficult hike offering beautiful views over the Ternoise valley.
May 2025: The Montigny trail (3) has been thoroughly cleared, something that hasn’t happened for ages! It is currently perfectly passable.

Departure from Auchy-lès-Hesdin (Pas-de-Calais)
A lovely walk starting from the church in Auchy-lès-Hesdin, taking you across the Mont Galant plateau with its beautiful panoramic views. You’ll walk along the edge of the Hesdin State Forest, with a view of the Ferme du Bois-Saint-Jean, a former commandery of the Order of Hospitallers. The only challenging bit is a hill as you leave the village of Auchy.
