Wissant Bay
Wissant Bay lies between the 2 Caps. The « Chercheurs d’eau » trail, (water searchers), flanked by cliffs and dunes meanders to fresh water marshlands where abound dragonflies and other flying marshland insects. In the deeper waters you will find fish, grebes and ducks. Further on ponies and cows complete this panoply of wildlife.

Haringzelle Woods
The trees in these unusual woods, located near to the Gris-Nez cliff, were imported from the Boulogne and Desvres forests during WW2. On this site the German occupation has left its mark in the form of four bunkers that were cleverly camouflaged with paintings of houses, as well as a former battery that served to survey the English Channel. This defence system caused the destruction of the small town of Audinghen. Today the bunkers are paticularly sought after by bats! Several trails have been made so that the visiteur can best discover these vestiges of the past.

Fort-Vert (Green Fort)
Cliffs and dunes lie outstretched the length of the Flemish coastline. Three minor trails (Sentier du Petit Marais, Sentier des Dunes and Sentier das Salaines) meander along the Taaf dyke, built in the XVIII century, between polders and sand hills.

Gris-Nez Cliff
This cliff together with Blanc-Nez cliff makes up the magnificent « Deux Caps », (Two Cliffs), National Natural Site. They mark the boundary between the Channel and the North Sea and are over 150 million years old. The site is also a favourite migration spot for birds. A truly beautiful environment.

Blanc-Nez Cliff
Such outstanding whiteness, especially on a bright day, the Blanc-Nez cliff has nothing to be envious of from its twin, Gris-Nez cliff. Together they make up the magnificent « Deux Caps », (Two Cliffs), National Natural Site. Many birds including seagulls, jackdaws and petrels dwell in these vertiginous cliffs which reach a height of 130metre above sealevel, and from where you can contemplate the beautiful landscapes of the Côte d’Opale. On a clear day the panorama is superb: Wissant Bay and Gris-Nez cliff in the south, the white cliffs of England to the west, the Flemish plains in the north and the Boulonnais hills in the east. A trail runs from Mount Hubert where you can catch a glimpse of Wissant Bay. The rich colours and fragrances of thyme, marjory and wild orchids are a pleasant change from the monotonous green grass when you rejoin the D940 road. Turn right and climb back towards Blanc-Nez cliff. Keeping the statue of Hubert Latham on your left, turn right towards the memorial to the ‘Dover Patrol’ of WWI, before returning to Mount Hubert.

Platier d'Oye Nature Reserve
The « Platier d’Oye » is a natural polder which was formed by sand banks at the end of the XVIII century. It was only in 1925 that through the construction a dyke it was protected from the sea. Created a Natural Reserve in 1987 walk along the trail that will take you through clumps of argousier and pasturelands populated by cows and ponies right down to the sea across a beach strewn with shells. The “Platier d’Oye” is the first stopover for migratory birds on their way back north. The bunkers built during WW2 are soon forgotten as you pass through landscapes of sand dunes and prairies.

Têtards Trail (Tadpole)
In the XI century the marshlands of Guines were used for grazing, haymaking and peat extraction. Today, they are a playground for frogs, ducks and herons !

Saint-Louis Trail
A warm welcome awaits you in a magnificent mill built in the XVII century of stone, brick and chalk. Be enchanted by the many landscapes of the Herm Valley, which you will see from the top of Mount Guérny, including the Tournehem forest, vast prairies, rivers, hillsides and traditional farms. On the hilltop sits the Saint-Louis chapel which according to the legend was used by Druids.
