Difficult
Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A succession of small roads and paths for a day in the great outdoors.The icing on the cake: a good elevation gain with a superb climb in the Bois de Fressin.
For very experienced hikers, I highly recommend the alternative route described in the practical information section.
The Chevrette Trail in Fressin
6.31 mi

-430 ft
3h 15
Moderate
Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A short walk around Fressin with a few climbs through lovely scenery. Head up through the Fressin woods, cross the Planquette, and walk across the plateau where you can take some lovely photos of Fressin Castle, which you’ll get a closer look at on the way back.
Well-marked yellow trail. Some might say there’s no point in describing marked trails, but for me it’s important to share them with the community.
Let’s explore La Planquette
15.30 mi
+1,053 ft

7h 55
Difficult
Departure from Fressin (Pas-de-Calais)
A long walk around the Planquette Valley, culminating in a traverse of the Hesdin Forest.
Not to mention the lovely paths around Cavron-Saint-Martin.
And, of course, I made sure not to skip the lovely climb up the Bois de Fressin, which is a real treat for the calves.
When I went there in early September 2023, the paths were in excellent condition, but the first rains will quickly wear them down and the walk will become very difficult.
Using the app makes finding your way much easier!
The Créquy Woods

6h 40
Difficult
Departure from Créquy (Pas-de-Calais)
A long route with virtually no roads, making use of three short-distance hiking trails: the Maury, the Têtards and the Fréniaux.It’s best to go during a dry spell, as the paths can be quite poor in wet weather.Three-quarters of the walk takes place on the edge of or within the woods.
Les coteaux de la Créquoise
10.53 mi
+709 ft
-719 ft
5h 30
Moderate
Departure from Créquy (Pas-de-Calais)
Another option, slightly shorter but still quite challenging, offers views of the Créquoise valley.
The route through the Bois de Créquy is the same as on the other walk: ‘The Bois de Créquy’, but the return journey takes you down the other side, offering a lovely view of the valley.
The slopes of the Ternoise near Auchy

5h 25
Moderate
Departure from Rollancourt (Pas-de-Calais)
A fairly long but not overly difficult hike offering beautiful views over the Ternoise valley.
May 2025: The Montigny trail (3) has been thoroughly cleared, something that hasn’t happened for ages! It is currently perfectly passable.

In the footsteps of Charles V, starting from Vieil-Hesdin

-377 ft
4h 05
Moderate
Departure from Vieil-Hesdin (Pas-de-Calais)
Following in the footsteps of Charles V (1500–1558) from Vieil-Hesdin, you’ll pass an old convent and cross the River Canche. The path will take you up to the heights of Le Quesnoy-en-Artois, and the return journey is all downhill via the Chemin des Morts. You’ll be treated to some lovely views of the Hesdin Forest, and if, like me, you’re lucky, you might spot a few roe deer.

8h 15
Difficult
Departure from Saint-Michel-sous-Bois (Pas-de-Calais)
Same starting point as for the “5-bois-et-quelques-raidillons” hike, but this route is a bit longer, with a decent climb, and avoids walking along the D129.
I think the app is essential, especially as the GR® markings are very faint (you might even wonder if this legendary GR® still exists?).
From Verchocq to the Vallon de Beaussart
11.65 mi
+633 ft
-636 ft
5h 55
Moderate
Departure from Verchocq (Pas-de-Calais)
Exploring the Vallon de Beaussart and passing close to the Bois de Renty, always in the hope of spotting some wildlife: on 16 October, there were only a few pheasants, but they practically let you stroke them. A real treat for hunters!
There are practically no roads on this route.
Le Champ de l'Épine

+732 ft
-725 ft
6h 05
Difficult
Departure from Fillièvres (Pas-de-Calais)
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.
From Turkey to Fond Breton (in less than 10 km!)
5.80 mi
+358 ft
-354 ft
3h 00
Moderate
Departure from Renty (Pas-de-Calais)
A short but fairly strenuous route with a steep hill and some very grassy paths.
On 12/08/2025: the start of the trail is once again very overgrown (brambles and nettles). It's passable but it's best to wear trousers or good gaiters and, of course, bring a walking stick or even a pair of secateurs.
On the plateau between the Lys and the Aa

From Reclinghem to Mont d'Erny
11.08 mi
+814 ft
-797 ft
5h 50
Difficult
Departure from Reclinghem (Pas-de-Calais)
Three lovely climbs and a long stroll across the plateau make for a walk surrounded by nature. A very hilly first section, followed by a long stretch along the heights before descending to Reclinghem with magnificent views. The icing on the cake is an optional circular loop I suggest, which brings the total elevation gain to over 300 m.
