The Clarence, starting from Sachin

Park in the car park at Sachin Town Hall.

(S/E) Leave the car park and follow the road eastwards. At the first junction with a wayside cross, continue along the road opposite, still heading east. Follow the^GR®127(marked in red and white).

(1) At the T-junction near the last houses in Sachin, take the path opposite and continue to follow the^GR®127.

(2) At the fork in the path, keep right heading south-south-east until you reach the first Y-junction. Follow Rue du Huit Mai to the left for a few dozen metres, then, at the start of Rue des Carimarants, take the path on the left and follow the^GR®127until it joins Rue de l’Église.

(3) Turn right towards the church, walk past it and, at the next junction, turn left into Rue d’Aumerval. Join the D90.

(4) Cross the road carefully and take the road opposite. Follow the^{PR® trail} marked in yellow. Leave the road on your right and, at the next junction, turn left onto Chemin de la Justice, continuing to follow the ^PR®. You’ll reach the T-junction at the 125 metre mark.

(5) Take the path on the right heading north. Leave the path on your right and continue along the^PR® to the Y-junction near a detached house.

(6) Follow the Aumerval road to the left, heading north. At the junction by the chapel, carry straight on until you reach the D91.

(7) Turn left, heading south-west. After about 400 metres, leave the path on your right and take the path opposite about 50 metres further on. Follow the PR^®. Leave the path and the track on your right, and enter Aumerval.

(8) At the tarmac road, turn left towards the church and the town hall. Then turn left onto the D91 and walk for about 400 m.

(9) Take the path on the right after house No. 60. After the bend to the right, leave the path on your left and continue to the cemetery, where the path joins the D90.

(10) Cross the road carefully and take the path opposite. Walk through the Bois de la Ville following the^GR®127until you reach the five-way junction.

(11) Continue along the road to the right, following the^GR®127. At the next junction, by the isolated house, turn left, still following the^GR®127, and you’ll reach the pumping station.

(12) Carry on straight ahead towards the church and Sachin town hall, your starting point (S/E).

I recommend doing this walk during the drier months as the paths get quite muddy in wet weather.

(10) Water point at the cemetery.

Make sure you wear a good pair of shoes. Don’t forget to bring something to eat and drink.

(S/E) __St John the Baptist’s Church, Sachin__.

(3) __Pernes__[https://www.villedepernes.fr/] and its 16th- and 19th-century St Peter’s Church. The early 15th-century baptismal font is a listed monument. Beneath its forecourt (where the bell tower stood in the Middle Ages) lies the grave of a former lord of the manor.
