Fiery hills in Val de Course
A pleasant hike starting from Bezinghem and passing near Zoteux, Course and the centre of Doudeauville. Much of the route is on well-maintained paths. It alternates between countryside and small villages, as well as crossing Doudeauville on a road that runs pleasantly alongside the Course. The hills add a reasonable amount of elevation to this family hike.
5 woods and some steep slopes
A very hilly route over the Artois heights.
A great sporting outing with beautiful scenery.
Walk through the Artois Heights
A winding route offering superb views of the Artois heights and the Bléquin valley.
Vallée de la Course and the lost valleys
A very pretty tour around the villages of Beussent, Montcavrel and Enquin-sur-Baillon. Very varied landscapes with small roads and farm tracks. An easy but challenging hike. You will have the chance to see different aspects of the Course valley, with its cress farms still in operation. Pleasant picnic stop in Enquin sur Baillon (shaded table) or Beussent, near the river. The departure point is Enquinehaut because the descent to the Course is splendid. You will see pretty lost valleys.
From Turkey to Fond Breton (in less than 10 km!)
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.
From Wismes to the Bois d'Esquerdes via the Montagne d'Elnes
A long route with very little tarmac and a superb climb.
There are also a few long straight stretches through the fields that will delight many!
Late July 2020:
- the section between points 6 and 7 is in excellent condition.
- at point 13, after the copse, you cross a maize field for about fifty metres (the path is clearly marked) before finding the track.
An uphill battle
It's a route that will delight altitude enthusiasts (Carto exploreur and the Visorando app suggest it's as high as 500m). What's more, the views are stunning.
Route slightly modified in November 2019.
All trails are very good as of May 14, 2020 (even if some are very grassy).
Trou du Charme Trail
Lovely family outing in the Desvroise countryside, on small paved country roads.Passes close to streams, forests, villages and farms.

Enjoy varied landscapes in the heart of the Samer countryside, with nature, local heritage and a bucolic atmosphere.
Discover the heritage of Samer
A friendly walk to discover Samer's heritage: its iconic sites, typical landscapes and local treasures, combining nature and history. The route is easily accessible for people with pushchairs and/or pets.
The Créquy Woods
A long route with virtually no roads, based on three short hiking trails: the Maury, the Têtards and the Fréniaux.It is best to walk this route during a dry period, as the paths can be quite rough in wet weather.Three-quarters of the walk takes place on the edge of or within the woods.
On the plateau between the Lys and the Aa
A long route with a significant elevation gain on paths that are generally in very good condition.
Back to the Elnes hillside
This place is so beautiful that it deserves a second route.Another good climb with 2 nice climbs and a maximum of paths and trails.
Difficult in dry weather and very difficult in wet weather.
In the footsteps of the Tears of Our Lady of the Meadows
Come and discover the rich flora, fauna and history surrounding the Chartreuse de Neuville, one of the largest Carthusian monasteries in France. Along the way, you will find the ingredients for Larmes-de-Notre-Dame-des-Prés, a liqueur traditionally made by the monks.To start or finish your hike, you will receive a warm welcome for a tour of the Chartreuse de Neuville.Find opening times and news on the Chartreuse website.
From La Planquette to Bois de Fressin
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 Canche from Montreuil
A bucolic hike along the pure, fish-filled waters of the Canche, starting at La Citadelle, whose Royal Castle dates back to the 13th century. You'll start by walking along the ramparts. You'll pass through the marshes and stroll along the banks of La Canche. You may come across fishermen or sportsmen training at the Canoe-Kayak club.
The Belrem in Beaurainville
A lovely walk along the banks of the Canche, through marshes and with a view over Beaurainville

The slopes of the Ternoise near Auchy
A fairly long but not overly difficult hike offering beautiful views over the Ternoise valley.
