Two woods, a slag heap and a charterhouse to digest it all
Up to the entrance to the Bois des Dames, the route is much the same as this hike (there aren't many options in the Bois de Roquelaure), but I took other paths to cross the Bois des Dames. The end of the route passes behind Emmaüs before reaching the Chartreuse des Dames and joining the Bois des Sablières.It's long, winding, almost entirely unpaved and with a significant elevation gain. Very difficult in wet weather.The use ofthe Visorando app is strongly recommended.
Woods, footpaths and mining heritage around Lapugnoy
Long route through the Bois de Roquelaure, the Poulouches d'Allouagne and the Vallée Carreau d'Auchel. Return via Lozinghem and Mont Éventé before finishing at the Terril de Lapugnoy and a beautiful path on the edge of the Bois des Dames.Relatively little tarmac (but we are still in an urban area), but in wet weather, some paths can become difficult.
La Buissière - Ourton loop following the Biette, then the Lawe
This is a long walk in an urban area, but 90% of it is on paths. Start at the old bridge and its steps, then follow the Biette (a beautiful footbridge restored last year) to Ourton. Next, climb back up (unfortunately on the road) before descending to Beugin. Follow another bridge to the Divion Viaduct. There, a slightly tricky descent takes you back to the banks of the Lawe. Follow it first on the left bank, then on the right bank before following the bus route. And to finish in style, the Bois de la Volville, with a nice climb at the end.
The Two Rivers Trail in Fouquières-lès-Béthune
The two rivers trail from Fouquières-lès-Béthune to Fouquereuil takes you along the Blanche to the Annezin marsh, then along the Lawe before walking above the water under a railway line!
This route will take you to the Fouquereuil storage slag heap (the Terril de la Cuisse Maraune) where you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama from the top. The return journey is through the fields.
The two Chartreuses in Fouquières-lès-Béthune
Belle randonnée sans difficulté. Elle vous fait découvrir des chartreuses dans la campagne et les bois environnants.
Le Chemin des Voyettes Poulouches
The Chemin des Voyettes Poulouches, which you will take, will lead you from one voyette (small lane) to another and allow you to discover or rediscover our village.
La Lawe in Bruay-la-Bruissière
This walk will take you on a tour of Bruay-la-Buissière, starting from Parc de la Lawe and passing by the Miners' Memorial and the Corons.
This young commune owes its name to the merger of Bruay-en-Artois and La Buissière, which took place in 1987.
The Houchin tour
Short route on well-marked paths. Little tarmac, for a breath of fresh air.
La Houchinel from Houchin
This hike from Houchin will allow you to discover another side of the mining basin without much difficulty along beautiful trails.
A bit of history: the pit, 12 mining companies from Noeux-les-Mines. Mining began in 1939 and was halted in 1940 with the German occupation and never resumed.
Et un, et deux, et trois terrils
Bien sûr, ce ne sont pas les plus hauts terrils de la région, mais les deux terrils de Verquin sont restés très sauvages et, sur celui de Labourse, il y a assez d'espace et de sentiers pour varier l'itinéraire. Ce parcours en 8 peut facilement être scindé en deux boucles de 6 à 8 km. C'est un parcours assez compliqué que j'ai détaillé au maximum. Néanmoins, je recommande d'utiliser l'application surtout sur les terrils : celui de Labourse possède un grand nombre de sentiers et on peut facilement modifier le parcours.
La Divionnaise
This hike, between town and countryside, will take you through towns and parks. You will walk along the Biette river and then climb the slag heap. You will discover pits 5, 5 bis, 1 and 1bis, which is the deepest in the mining basin at 1,186 metres.
The valleys of Ourton
A long route that takes us from the mining landscape to the Artesian countryside.
Trail along the little paths of Houdain via Mont de la Comté
Admittedly, the trail may seem a little monotonous, but what a beautiful path! It takes you gently up to the heights before dropping back down into the valley to climb Mont de la Comté.And at the end of the trail, the church awaits you.
Around Noeux-les-Mines
This hike across fields will take you through the villages of Barlin and Houchin. On the way back, you will see the ski slope created in 1996 and built on a former slag heap.
In the4th century, Noeux was called Vitris. The village was destroyed by the Normans in 882. The main activities at that time were agriculture, milling, sugar refining and brewing.
Mining began in 1850. The last mine was closed in 1968.
Tour of the marshes at Beuvry
A walk through ponds, canals and marshes, where you'll be surrounded by water in the commune of Beuvry.
Les deux terrils de Nœux-les-Mines
Semi-urban route. After a stroll through the fields, you pass by the two slag heaps of Nœux. This hike can be made difficult by bad weather, especially when descending the slag heap on ski trail no. 2, where the stairs are quite impressive. The ascent of slag heap no. 1 is not too difficult and the summit offers a panoramic view of the region. Only the end, in the town, may lack appeal, but the streets in this area are not very busy.
From Nœux to the Bouvigny antenna
The route is fairly straightforward overall (the area is well signposted).
This hike presents no difficulties other than its length and the condition of the paths when wet.
December 2024: I changed the end from (13). It is longer, but more pleasant.
Loisne Park via Verquigneul
This beautiful hike, starting from Labourse, will take you through Leo Lagrange Park. It follows a short loop in Verquigneul before reaching Loisne Park and the slag heap, all on good paths and trails.
Around Cuvigny
A short walk on good paths in the hills above La Comté. On a clear day, the panorama is superb, and if you're luckier than me, you'll spot a few deer.
The upper Lawe valley
A very pleasant trail, between river, forest and valleys.
Val de Loisne from Hersin-Coupigny
This hike will allow you to discover another side of Hersin-Coupigny, passing through Nœux-les-Mines, Coron number 3 and the Ferme du Blanc-Mont, not to mention the Loisne and all the biodiversity in the surrounding area.
From Hersin via Bracquencourt
This hike takes you along good paths through Verdrel, Bracquencourt and Barlin's Cité n°9, without any major difficulties.A bit of history: Coupigny gave its name to a large noble family from Artois. Its official name appeared in 1801.
The Hersin ponds
This local hike will take you up to the heights of Coupigny, then past the Étangs des Claires Fontaines, the Corons Beclet and, of course, the slag heap. The hike is on good paths and offers beautiful biodiversity.
Through the Olhain National Forest around Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen
Walk in the Fresnicourt le Dolmen area
Starting from Olhain Castle and heading towards the "Table aux Fées" dolmen, you will pass two sandstone crosses dating from the 13th and 16th centuries, then the hamlet of Verdrel and the Olhain State Forest with its leisure centre, before returning through the forest. Superb views over the plain and its villages.
It is best to do this walk in dry weather as the paths can be difficult in wet conditions.
