The Sint-Ackaarsbos in Houtkerke.
In the local dialect and on old maps, this forest is also often called the Sint-Achaarsbosch.
The name refers to Saint Acharius (Saint-Accaire), a 7th-century bishop who was venerated in this region (the old diocese of Tournai-Noyon).
The name of the village itself literally means "the church in the wood (forest)". The Sint-Ackaarsbos is one of the last remnants of the large forests that formerly covered this part of the French Westhoek.
