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
4.43 mi

2h 10
Easy
Departure from Landrethun-le-Nord (Pas-de-Calais)
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.

Departure from Nortkerque (Pas-de-Calais)
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.

Departure from Nielles-lès-Bléquin (Pas-de-Calais)
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.
