Hermelinghen walks
In the countryside around Hocquinghen
A lovely circular route of 19 km along the paths of the Boulonnais countryside. This route will take you along the local paths between the villages of Bainghen, Herbinghen, Hocquinghen and Nabringhen.
This route combines several hiking trails in the area. There are numerous paths allowing you to wander through cultivated fields or pastures, along the edges of woods and up and down hillsides.
There are a few navigation challenges – see the reviews
From Landrethun-le-Nord to Caffiers via the Stinkal quarries
A very nice walk, with no difficulties, through fields, a stretch of forest, the Bois de Beaulieu, where there used to be an abbey, and the discovery of the Stinkal quarry site: very careful during the week when there is a lot of lorry traffic. Unfortunately, you used to be able to take a small path along the railway line, which you took on the site of the quarries. Access to this path is now strictly forbidden, which means that you have to finish your walk on the tarmac from the quarries. This in no way detracts from the charm of the start of the walk.
Trou du Charme Trail
Lovely family outing in the Desvroise countryside, on small paved country roads.Passes close to streams, forests, villages and farms.
The Holque trail from Audembert
The Holque trail, starting from Audembert, is an ideal way to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the Deux-Caps countryside.
Marais Trail in Nortkerque
This path takes you to one of the four villages of the Pays du Brédenarde, Nortkerque, which can be translated as ‘church of the North’. Geologically, the former Pays du Brédenarde consists of a layer of clay resting on chalk that overlooks the coastal plain. It is a landscape of hedgerows, fruit trees and livestock farming. In the past, the Brédenarde also included the municipalities of Audruicq, Zutkerque and Polincove.
(4) Please note: the footbridge no longer exists; access is impossible until further notice (see practical information).
The Desvres Hill
A lovely walk alternating between footpaths and small country lanes in the Haut Pays d’Artois, offering rural scenery in an area dominated by livestock farming and pastures. The area has a rugged terrain and high altitudes.
Cap Blanc-Nez and the heights of Sangatte
An invigorating seaside walk to the heights of Sangatte, via the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez. A walk combining nature and culture, in a place that has been awarded the Grand Site de France label since 2011. Numerous relics of the Second World War bear witness to the past, amid breathtaking scenery.
From the heights of Escalles to Cap Blanc Nez via the Napoleon Well
A magnificent hike to admire the ballet of ferries and ships of all kinds in the Strait of Dover. In good weather, you can admire the English coastline... Don't forget to take a look at the remains of the first shaft dug for the Channel Tunnel, work on which began in 1875 under Napoleon III.
Access to the Mont d'Hubert car park, the starting point for this hike, is now prohibited, so you must start from the car park at the bottom of the Cap Blanc Nez obelisk.
Around Cap Blanc-Nez
A very pleasant walk with magnificent views of Wissant beach, Cap Gris Nez, Cap Blanc Nez and the English coastline.
The peaks of Cap Blanc Nez
The cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez rise 130 m above the sea. From the Dover Patrol Monument erected at the top of the headland, there is a breathtaking view of Cap Gris Nez and Wissant Bay on one side, Calais on the other, with the English coast opposite.
From Sangatte to Wissant along the cliffs
A lovely walk offering spectacular views; on a clear day, you can see as far as England. Follow the path (Route du Littoral) along the cliffs. At Cran d’Escalles, you can get closer to take some photos. Carry on breathing in the fresh sea air along the coast, passing through the Amont dunes before reaching the old harbour at Wissant. Children under the age of twelve must be supervised and accompanied on this walk.
To complete this walk, you’ll need to leave a car at the end of the route for the return journey.
Wissant via Cap Blanc-Nez from Sangatte
A walk that will take you to Cap Blanc-Nez, rising to 124 m, and the picturesque village of Wissant.
The first part of the walk offers magnificent views of Cap Blanc-Nez and its cliffs. Once you’ve climbed the cape, the village of Wissant will come into view.
A superb little walk allowing you to discover the treasures of the Opal Coast.
Keep an eye on the tide times!

The Wismes Loop
Nothing spectacular, but a good day out in the fresh air. It’s best to go during dry spells, as some paths can become quite (or even very) difficult.
You could also consider starting from Wismes (car park by the church), which allows you to leave your picnic in the car and thus take some of the strain off your back.
