Ferrières-en-Bray à Beauvais
This track was built on an old abandoned railway line. It offers a beautiful leisure area, from the gates of Beauvais to the hedged farmland and wet meadows of the Pays de Bray and then Normandy.
Departing from the Beauvais railway station, the route follows the river le Thérain; the buildings built after the war give a glimpse of Saint-Pierre cathedral, an unfinished Gothic masterpiece, before joining the Avelon, its small bridges and old mills, and then the Saint-Paul amusement park.
The route then proposes varied and bucolic landscapes: ponds, beautiful farms or small houses that remind us that Normandy is very close. Numerous holes through the curtains of trees and shrubs reveal fields and pastures in a variety of colours.
To the west of Lachapelle-aux-Pots, the shoulders are wooded and much more shady. In Saint-Germer-de-Fly, the greenway leaves the Oise to join the Seine-Maritime.
