A stay in Estrée-Wamin can take in historic churches and walks through the surrounding countryside. The Église de Wamin is associated with building phases from the 15th and 16th centuries; the Église Saint-Martin in Estrée dates from the 19th century. Walking options include the 14 km Sentier de la Fontaine Bleue and a hike through the Canche Valley, with several named places to help you find your way. This lets you decide first whether architecture or landscape should be the focus of your trip.

Churches and Building History

The Église de Wamin is in the hamlet of Wamin, part of Estrée-Wamin. Its main building phases date from the 15th and 16th centuries; since 19 November 1946, it has been listed as a Monument historique. This allows the church to be understood through two separate details: its building phases and its later protected status. The name of the hamlet also distinguishes it from the Église Saint-Martin in Estrée.

The Église Saint-Martin stands in Estrée. This rural 19th-century church is built of local limestone. Its nave is topped by a campanile, followed by the choir. The church also includes a bell dating from 1780. It is classified as a protected movable cultural property. Its date predates the construction of the church building, bringing an older individual object into focus.

Walks Through the Landscape

Sentier de la Fontaine Bleue

The Sentier de la Fontaine Bleue is 14 km long and is associated with Estrée-Wamin. The church in Rebreuve-sur-Canche is listed as its starting point. The distance provides a specific reference for planning your day; check the exact route before setting out if the route itself matters to you. The Fontaine Del Caute spring, associated with bluish reflections, lies in the wider area around the trail.

Hike Through the Canche Valley

Another hike through the Canche Valley passes through Estrée-Wamin, Rebreuve and Rebreuviette, following paths through the countryside. The named places define the area covered by this outing; for the Sentier de la Fontaine Bleue, by contrast, a specific distance is the main reference. This answers two different planning questions: would you like to use a distance as a guide, or orient yourself by the places the hike passes through?

Practical Information

At the entrance to Estrée-Wamin, there is a picnic table on Rue Principale near the former railway station. It provides a specific place to take a break. If you plan to use it, check before your visit that it is available.

The two options offer a clear distinction: the churches can be considered in terms of their period and features, while for the walks, you can choose between a specific distance and the names of several places along the way. This provides a useful basis for deciding on the focus of your stay.
