Marest walks

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

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.

The walk starts from the Donjon de Bours (Bours keep) and takes you up to the plateau with its remarkable views. You'll then head back down to the village, finishing with a stroll through the narrow streets of Bours.

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?

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.

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.

A long route that takes us from the mining landscape to the Artesian countryside.

This hike will take you from the plains to the woods via Thieuloye and Rocourt en l'Eau, where the Lawe river has its source. Bajus was a village where French troops rested before going to the front during the First World War

Randonnée au départ de La Comté qui nous mène près de la source de la Lawe. Paysage très agréable et quelques vallonnements.

A very pleasant trail, between river, forest and valleys.

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.

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.

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.

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 a few deer (a herd of six at the end of February 2019).

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.

C’est un parcours en pleine nature. Sur les hauteurs, le randonneur apercevra l’Audomarois, les Monts des Flandres et le bassin minier. C'est un sentier balisé de la Communauté d'Agglomération du Pays de Saint-Omer.

This is a long route without any major difficulties, apart from the distance. It follows a succession of wide paths and small roads, making it safe to walk even in wet weather. It is therefore ideal from October onwards.
