Équirre walks
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.
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.
The hedgerows
The old marked trail around Ambricourt is unfortunately poorly maintained or not maintained at all. We have been walking it for 25 years and have encountered difficulties every time (poor signage, paths buried under nettles or difficult to walk on).The start at Teneur allows you to pass (twice) in front of the superb limestone hillside of Teneur. Deer are often visible in or around the Bois de Crépy
The path is in very poor condition between points (2) and (6).
If possible, avoid the period between mid-June and mid-August. The passage after point (3) will be easier if the field is not too far into the growing season or has already been harvested.
The Bliot Trail in Anvin
A short hike in the Ternois region starting from Anvin. A short climb will take you up to Mont d'Heuchin.
Descend to Bergueneuse and return through the countryside to the starting point.
Beautiful views throughout the walk and some great photo opportunities.
Mont de Fleury
A pleasant short hike on good paths. Beautiful views of the Ternois.
Hike modified in April 2023 because theGRP® route has changed.
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.
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!).
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!
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 Bois de la Justice
A lovely route offering beautiful views of the Ternois countryside and its animals, both wild and domestic.
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.
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.
In the footsteps of Saint Benedict
The Ternois is a beautiful region in northern France. There used to be an abbey where good cheese was made, and there is still a shop selling local products.
The Maronnes Hills
A lovely hike in the Ternois region starting from the charming village of Humières with its castle and cave.
You’ll be walking mainly on paths and trails that can get muddy in wet weather, but the scenery quickly makes you forget that.
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.
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.
The slopes of the Ternoise near Auchy
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.
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.
Route updated in April 2026: a little shorter and less tarmac!
On the plateau between the Lys and the Aa
A long route with a significant elevation gain on paths that are generally in very good condition.
The Fossé Cagnu
Starting from Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, the Fossé Cagnu route takes you along a few of the town’s narrow lanes, then along paths that are sometimes damp, followed by a short detour through the village of Troisvaux before descending the famous ditch.
Along the way, it’s not uncommon to spot a few deer.
