Departure from Ligny-sur-Canche (Pas-de-Calais)
In the Riez de Nœux-les-Auxi, there is a beautiful walk along the Canche in Boubers and Ligny. With the climb up the Ravin des Cavernes, you really feel like you are in another world (even more so now, with the final chaos). The route becomes very difficult in wet weather in the Riez and the ravine.

A pleasant walk starting from Boubers-sur-Canche, with its castle and St Leger’s Church, which, passing through La Canche, leads to the Vacquerie-le-Boucq plateau, skirting the Bois Madame, then descends along the Bois des Avents back to Boubers-sur-Canche.

This route was inspired by the "Contour des bois" trail suggested by the 7 Vallées Tourist Office. I removed a few tarmac sections and added a few paths. Get ready for a day in the great outdoors.
The Authie river, the ravine and the moor
11.18 mi
+827 ft
-801 ft
5h 50
Difficult
Departure from Nœux-lès-Auxi (Pas-de-Calais)
This nearly roadless route takes in the wild Ravin des Cavernes and the astonishing moorland of Nœux-lès-Auxi (le Rietz).
Le Rietz de Nœux is a protected nature reserve. In spring, it's home to the most beautiful orchids. Goes without saying, don't pick them!
This circuit takes up a large part of the "Sentier de l'Étoile" (Path of the Star), of which there are a few routes, but no description. What's more, there are very few markings. The gates are near the fence on the right.
Before tackling this route, I advise you to watch the 2 videos linked in Denis' commentary.

Easy
Departure from Œuf-en-Ternois (Pas-de-Calais)
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.

Departure from Herlin-le-Sec (Pas-de-Calais)
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.

Departure from Barly (Somme) (Somme)
I used the start of an old marked trail (Sentier de la Fontaine) which, like many in this area, has disappeared. The route takes you through the Bois des Bouloies and, after passing through Occoches, the return journey follows wide farm tracks.
You can have a picnic in the square. You can follow this up with the “Les pâtis au départ de Barly” walk for a total of 20 km.

Moderate
Departure from Barly (Somme) (Somme)
A previously signposted path has been restored. The Fontaines Bleues are very beautiful but have been completely neglected!
It’s a route through unspoilt countryside, taking you through two woods.
Bonus: you can start with the “Le Bois des Bouloies” walk. At point (7), by turning left, you’ll join this route (towards the hamlet of Les Tilleuls: point (3). The total distance should then be around 24 km.

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.
