Lillers walks
From Burbure to the Bois de Saint-Pierre
There are very few roads on this fairly standard route, as it follows sections of marked trails. Quite hilly, it crosses the Terril de Burbure, the Bois de Saint-Pierre and follows part of the Scyrendale.
Upper Nave Valley
A long walk in an area that is very well signposted thanks to the excellent work of the Urban Community. The route follows as many paths as possible and remains very rural, with little elevation gain.
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.
Molinghem
Walk starting from the square in front of Saint Maurice Church in Molinghem.
Located in the countryside between Isbergues, Lambres, Mazinghem and Molinghem. In the Moulin plain and along the Lambres marsh.
Val de Clarence and Bois de Roquelaure
A patchwork of the various marked trails in the area for a long stroll, ending at the Bois de Roquelaure. It is a highly urbanised area, but you still feel as though you are in the countryside.
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.
Les T'chiens starting from Robecq
A walk that allows you to enjoy the village’s green surroundings. Walkers will discover a variety of paths during their stroll, including the Busnes stream and a wealth of diverse landscapes, rich in flora and fauna. This walk can be found on Randofiche 48, published by the FFRP and the CABBALR.
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.
The Gorges Bleues trail in Mont-Bernanchon
A short, peaceful stroll along a grassy path beside the Canal d'Aire à la Bassée, taking you past the observation hut at the Mont-Bernanchon bird sanctuary. Stables and a short stretch through the forest.
This walk is marked in yellow from start to finish.
The two woods and the Coqueline
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?

Between woods and mining riders in Bruay-la-Buissière
This circular hike offers a superb hike that combines mining history, nature and redevelopment. You will take an old mining railway line (a former railway line used to transport coal) that crosses the Bois des Dames to take you to the Chartreuse des Dames in Gosnay.
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.
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.
Tour of the 3 bell towers in the heart of Flanders
The forest edge, the canal banks and the agricultural plain give the trail its contrasting moods. Keep your eyes peeled for birds in the undergrowth, insects on leaves and trees, and the mushrooms that grow here in late spring.
Tannay path
This tour will introduce you to three different settings: the Domaniale de Nieppe forest, the wooded countryside and the Lys river.
Circular route between Fouquereuil and Bruay
Long route through the urban area. Follow the Lawe and then the Brette to reach the Miner's Monument in Bruay. To return, head to Cité 4 in Bruay before reaching the Bois des Dames by following the PR® du Bois des Dames. Crossing the woods takes you to the slag heap before leading you to Emmaüs. From there, the return journey is via the Bois de la Sablière. There are many paths and "bus lanes" for a route that is passable even in wet weather.
The valleys of Ourton
A long route that takes us from the mining landscape to the Artesian countryside.
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.
Between Lys and the Canal
The town of Aire-sur-la-Lys is crossed by the Lys river. It is bordered by the Neuffossé Canal, which takes the name Canal d'Aire at La Bassée, from this town onwards. The Bassin des Quatre Faces (Four Faces Basin) once allowed boats to turn around and sail in the desired direction: towards the town, the Lys, the canal towards Saint-Omer or Béthune. It is a signposted trail in the Pays de Saint-Omer urban community.
