Herlin-le-Sec walks
Le Pronay and its “cathedral”
Le Pronay, a hamlet of Ramecourt with its ‘Cathedral’ (3), so named by one of our members: it is in fact a chapel. You’ll reach it by crossing the Bois de Pronay. For the return journey, follow a section of the old railway line from Saint-Pol to Frévent and, to finish, you’ll pass in front of Sains Castle.
A largely shaded walk.
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.
From the Ternoise springs to the Chemin des Morts
A walk through the Ternois countryside, between woodland and open countryside, taking you to the headwaters of the Ternoise and the woods of Saint-Pol and Saint-Michel, where, with a bit of luck and if you keep quiet, you might spot some roe deer.
Take care when crossing the woods during the hunting season.
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.
Le Moulin Blanc at the start of Brias
A beautiful route starting from Brias with its church and castle towards the Moulin Blanc plain, the village of Valhuon and the Bois d'Antigneul, where it is not uncommon to encounter a few deer. This route is marked in yellow for the most part and is fairly easy to follow and without difficulty.
Bois Robert in Œuf-en-Ternois
A short walk around and through a village in the Ternois region called Oeuf-en-Ternois. The walk through the village is interesting and the paths are very pleasant. At the Bois Robert crossroads, you may, like me, encounter a few deer.
De la Canche au Bois de Mortagne
An easy start on good paths, then a passage along the Sentier des Culs Trempés (which unfortunately is no longer maintained) before a beautiful climb up to Canettemont.
The Canche, the moorland and the Ravin des Cavernes
In the Riez de Nœux-les-Auxi, there is a beautiful walk along the Canche in Boubers and Ligny. With the climb up the Ravin des Cavernes, you really feel like you are in another world (even more so now, with the final chaos). The route becomes very difficult in wet weather in the Riez and the ravine.
The Ravin de l’Étoile
We continue our exploration of the Ternois region, culminating in the superb Ravin de l’Étoile.
Bois Madame via the Canche at Boubers-sur-Canche
A pleasant walk starting from Boubers-sur-Canche, with its castle and St Leger’s Church, which, passing through La Canche, leads to the Vacquerie-le-Boucq plateau, skirting the Bois Madame, then descends along the Bois des Avents back to Boubers-sur-Canche.
L'ubac de Rebreuve-sur-Canche
A short, unpretentious and easy route.Very small roads and paths for a relaxing half-day out.
Aux sources de la Canche
A long route that is ideal when the weather is less favourable.A few small roads (most of which have grass growing in the central reservation), some fairly easy country lanes and a very beautiful section leading down to Le Cauroy.
The railway track in Thieuloye
A pleasant walk taking you from the village of La Thieuloye to Bajus, returning via an old railway line.
The Bois de la Justice
A lovely route offering beautiful views of the Ternois countryside and its animals, both wild and domestic.
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!
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).
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 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.
Bours keep
The walk starts from the Donjon de Bours (Bours keep) and takes you up to the plateau with its remarkable views. You'll then head back down to the village, finishing with a stroll through the narrow streets of Bours.
Path from the keep starting from Bours
This hike starts at the Bours keep and takes us along paths and through woods to the top of a hill with remarkable views. You will descend via Les Eguerguettes towards the village. Please note: the descent is difficult in wet weather. The hike ends with a short tour of the narrow streets of Bours.
In the footsteps of the Bours family
From the Bours Keep, passing by the Fontaine de la Baloche fountain, then through the Bois de Lanoy woods and past Antigneul Castle, the hike follows grassy paths offering beautiful views.
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.
