Enquin-les-Mines walks
The Surgeon hills
A short, undulating route offering beautiful views.
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.
Around Bomy
A short walk in the Artois region, particularly pleasant in autumn.
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.
The Ponds Trail
A short 6 km walk to explore the Étangs de la Sauvagine in Mametz and the Étangs de Rebecques.
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 lovely climbs and a long stroll across the plateau make for a walk surrounded by nature. A very hilly first section, followed by a long stretch along the heights before descending to Reclinghem with magnificent views. The icing on the cake is an optional circular loop I suggest, which brings the total elevation gain to over 300 m.
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 Bietz tour in Aire-sur-Lys
A pleasant and very easy hike around Le Bietz. You will pass through two hamlets in Aire-sur-la-Lys before returning to Moulin le Comte, following the Lys at the end of the route.
A bucolic escape between Aire and Mametz
This route follows the path known as the Bruveau d’Aire-sur-la-Lys, with a few variations. It takes you to the Church of Saint-Vaast in Mametz via the Glomenghem marshes, then back to the hamlet of Moulin-le-Comte via the Chemin de Fauquenthun in the hamlet of Rincq.
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.
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 upper Lys valley
The source of the Lys, the Lugy Mill and a lovely route across the plateau (beautiful views).This walk can be more difficult in wet weather as some paths are regularly churned up.Some tarmac, but on minor roads.
Please note: the path leading up through the Lugy woods after the (5) can be very difficult in wet weather.
La Melde from Wittes
This route will allow you to discover the diversity of water in Wittes and Aire-sur-la-Lys. In Wittes, you will find the Melde, a tributary of the Lys. In Aire-sur-la-Lys, you will walk along the Lys, the Bassin des Quatre-Faces, the Ballastière ponds and the Canal de Neuffossé. This is a signposted trail maintained by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.
The two woods and the Coqueline
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?
