Hernicourt walks

A lovely walk through the Ternois region and its small villages and hamlets. The Ravin de l’Étoile is closed during the hunting season.

A short walk in the Ternois area to discover Belval Abbey and the house where Saint-Benoit Labre lived in Conteville-en-Ternois. You’ll enjoy the tranquillity of these paths and the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

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.

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.

We continue our exploration of the Ternois region, culminating in the superb Ravin de l’Étoile.

A walk starting from Monchy-Cayeux, with its marshland and castle. You’ll be able to explore both sides of the valley along some lovely paths. This walk has an elevation gain of 123 m, which is nothing insurmountable for walkers.

A lovely route offering beautiful views of the Ternois countryside and its animals, both wild and domestic.

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!

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).

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.

A pleasant short hike on good paths. Beautiful views of the Ternois. Hike modified in April 2023 because theGRP® route has changed.

A short walk 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.Stunning views throughout the walk and plenty of opportunities for some lovely photos.

A lovely walk, mostly along forest paths that are very pleasant in sunny, warm weather. If you set off early in the morning, you’re likely to come across roe deer out for a stroll in the woods. Please note: the path is closed during the hunting season.

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.

From Saint-Michel-sur-Ternoise along the Chemin des Morts towards the Épainchen estate at the source of the Ternoise, passing by the famous nightclub “Les Catherinettes” and Saint-Michel Church. Enjoy the walk, everyone...

A short, picturesque walk in the Ternois region, taking in plains and woodland.

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.

A short walk in the hills with a nice little climb. A breath of fresh air, especially if the wind is blowing. A few roads, but they’re quiet, apart from the D 916.

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.

A trail exploring the Ternois region, with paths that are generally in good condition and offering lovely views. Route amended in April 2023, as the newGRP® route is really rather dull!

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.

Another short walk to explore the Ternois region: plenty of paths, woods and, if you’re lucky, a few roe deer. Three-quarters of the route follows theGRP® du Ternois, which is well signposted.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A walk starting from the Bours Keep that takes you up onto the plateau with some remarkable views. You’ll then head back down towards the village and finish with a short stroll through the narrow streets of Bours.

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.

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.

Starting from the small village of Sachin, follow the River Clarence, which rises at Le Buich and flows for nearly 32.8 km before joining the River Lys. You’ll pass through the village of Pernes and finally Aumerval before heading back down towards Sachin.

A beautiful, undulating trail on the Ternois hillsides. Donjon de Bours (keep).

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!).

A short walk alternating between roads, tracks and forest paths. You’ll be treated to some stunning views, especially in fine weather.

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.

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?

A short route, on paths and minor roads, following theGR®127.
