Nature

The Les Vallons route runs between Blangy-sur-Ternoise and Blingel along hilly paths and offers varied landscapes with flora typical of chalk soils, including orchids.

Culture and History

Saint-Martin Church is depicted in a gouache from the albums of Charles de Croÿ dating from the beginning of the 17th century and was rebuilt in the second half of the 18th century. The present-day church is built entirely of chalkstone and consists of a nave, a slightly narrower and higher choir, and a three-sided apse. It also preserves the remains of a door that may date from the 16th century. The restoration work mainly concerned the masonry, the roof structure, and the roofing; a panelled vault was also restored.

The Haras de Blingel comprised 60 stalls, a training track, and a breeding station. The property was sold in 2010 and converted into equestrian holiday accommodations with a pool and reception room; horses continued to be present there.

The Sainte-Emme Chapel is located at the entrance to Blangy-sur-Ternoise on Rue d'Hesdin, between Blingel and Blangy-sur-Ternoise, and was built in 1885.
