Location

The property is located near Wail, a pretty, riverside village in the Canche Valley.  If you are a keen angler, there are fishing lakes on the edge of the village.  This is a beautiful, rural area between three traditional market towns, Hesdin, Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise and Frévent. 

Shops, schools and everyday services are within easy reach and it is just 8mins from Hesdin. This popular town has a good choice of restaurants, shops and an excellent weekly market. The stretch of coast between Calais and the River Somme (Côte d'Opale) can lay claim to having some of the best beaches in France, with miles of unspoilt sand and endless horizons where the sea seems to melt into the sky. Try the popular Stella Plage or Berck Plage for a stroll - or a dip if you are feeling brave.

The ferry port at Calais is an hour and 10 minutes by car whilst the famous beach resort of Le Touquet is close by, as is the medieval hilltop town of Montreuil with its renowned restaurants.
