Haudricourt – Churches, Walking Routes and Horse-Riding

For a stay in Haudricourt, historic buildings, rural paths and horse-riding activities offer different points of interest. When planning, you can choose what to focus on: construction periods and architectural details, walking routes with specific landmarks, or horse-riding activities. The Vallée de la Bresle Natura 2000 site adds a natural dimension to the cultural and activity-related themes.

Churches and historic buildings

The Church of Saint-Jean and Saint-Martin in Haudricourt dates from 1828. Its sloping bell tower is considered the highest in the canton. The Église Notre-Dame in Villers dates from the 16th century, and the Church of Saint-Pierre in Beaufresne dates from the 18th century. Beaufresne is also home to a manor house dating from the time of Francis I.

The baptismal font of the Église Notre-Dame in Villers has been listed as a protected object since 18 August 1980. It has an octagonal base with floral and rosette-shaped decorations, as well as fluting. Fluting consists of elongated grooves and adds another form of ornamentation alongside the plant and rosette motifs. The wooden cover conceals a zinc basin. This church object brings together decorative details and different materials.

Walking routes in Haudricourt

The La Chouette circular route starts at the bus stop by the church in Haudricourt and follows local roads and rural paths through the hamlets of Haudricourt au Bois and Beaufresne. As the route may change, check the latest route information before setting out. The marked circular route No. 22, La mare du bois, also runs through Haudricourt.

The two circular routes offer different ways to navigate: La Chouette has a named starting point, types of paths and hamlets along the way; La mare du bois can be identified by its number and markings. When planning, you can therefore choose between a route with a clearly identified starting point and a marked, numbered circular route.

Horse-riding activities and rural landscapes

The Ferme équestre de Beaufresne is an equestrian centre and is recognised as a centre for equestrian tourism and as a pony and horse club. It offers riding lessons, trail rides and horseback walks. Lessons and trail rides or walks cater to different riding activities and may influence your choice depending on what you are looking for.

The 15-hectare site includes bocage landscapes, valleys and high forest. Bocage is a cultivated landscape divided by hedgerows; alongside the valleys and high forest, it offers another distinctive landscape. Private parking is available at the farm. A bus stop with a connection to Aumale railway station is nearby. Check travel information before setting out.

The Vallée de la Bresle natural area

Haudricourt lies within the Vallée de la Bresle Natura 2000 site. The site includes river habitats with vegetation typical of watercourses in the lowland to montane zones. Lowland to montane refers to a range of biogeographical altitude zones; the classification relates to habitats and vegetation along watercourses. This natural area therefore offers a distinct focus alongside historic buildings and outdoor activities.
