Difficult
Departure from Amplier (Pas-de-Calais)
This route partly follows an old marked trail (the Volpin) which seems to have disappeared (there are a few markings near Marieux). It would appear that in the north of the Somme, the lifespan of marked trails is as short as that of hares.
It is of course possible to do only 17 km (by turning left at point 11), but the small northern circular route is very interesting.
There are very few roads and the paths are very good, but sometimes very grassy.
The route will change in May 2024, as the path between the cemetery and the church is currently blocked.

Departure from Halloy (Pas-de-Calais) (Pas-de-Calais)
A long hike in the north of the Somme. Most of the paths are in good condition (even in late winter) and there are occasional tarmac sections, but no traffic.
A lovely variety of landscapes! I find the Amplier Valley very beautiful and the path between Beauquesne and Beauval is very interesting.

Departure from Grouches-Luchuel (Somme)
There is very little tarmac on this route , which is best done in dry weather.Discover La Cavée, ravaged by storms a few years ago and beautifully restored.A good stretch of the route is on the old railway line (well shaded) before descending to the beautiful village of Grouches-Luchuel.

Departure from Pas-en-Artois (Pas-de-Calais)
A lovely walk on the borders of Pas-de-Calais and the Somme.You'll discover the pretty Quilienne river (which did a lot of damage in 2016) and the Bois de Saint-Pierre (woods).
It's possible to add one or two extensions, so that the trail can exceed 22km (see practical info).
The Beech Tree Route in Lucheux

6h 50
Difficult
Departure from Lucheux (Somme)
I have tried to revive an old marked trail (and kept its name) which, like many in the area, has completely disappeared (the Somme CDRP seems rather ineffective and, moreover, is unreachable).
It is a route with virtually no roads, but crossing the Forest of Lucheux is very difficult as many of the paths are badly damaged. Fortunately, the GR® markings are clear there.
So, a difficult route, even very difficult after rain: in good condition on 19 April 2026, apart of course from the section through the forest where the ‘path’ is in a terrible state.

Departure from Sus-Saint-Léger (Pas-de-Calais)
A beautiful route around Lucheux, best done in dry weather, as theGR®124is in very poor condition (and poorly marked!) in the forest.
You may see deer and wild boar.
This route replaces the old one, the western section of which is now impassable.

Departure from Bailleulmont (Pas-de-Calais)
It’s a mix of two marked trails in the area: the Sentier de la Tour (Bailleulmont) and the Val du Crinchon (Bailleulval).I rediscovered it recently and had a lovely day there: lots of paths, some of which are absolutely stunning.

This hike in Artois will take you through beautiful villages between plains and woodlands on good quality paths, returning via the 1,350-metre-long Allée des Tilleuls, lined with 898 hundred-year-old trees planted in 1745 by Louis Benoit de Hamel, and Lignereuil Castle.

Very difficult
Departure from Avesnes-le-Comte (Pas-de-Calais)
After starting on the Avesnes footpaths, we follow the GRP® de l'Artois, then the GR®121 for a long and varied loop.Wide paths across agricultural plains, trails along woods and finally the Allée des Tilleuls in Lignereuil.
All dotted with a few châteaux.
It's enough to make for a good day out, especially as the paths are generally in very good condition, even in wet weather.

Departure from Ligny-sur-Canche (Pas-de-Calais)
In the Riez de Nœux-les-Auxi, there is a beautiful walk along the Canche in Boubers and Ligny. With the climb up the Ravin des Cavernes, you really feel like you are in another world (even more so now, with the final chaos). The route becomes very difficult in wet weather in the Riez and the ravine.

Difficult
Departure from Nœux-lès-Auxi (Pas-de-Calais)
This nearly roadless route takes in the wild Ravin des Cavernes and the astonishing moorland of Nœux-lès-Auxi (le Rietz).
Le Rietz de Nœux is a protected nature reserve. In spring, it's home to the most beautiful orchids. Goes without saying, don't pick them!
This circuit takes up a large part of the "Sentier de l'Étoile" (Path of the Star), of which there are a few routes, but no description. What's more, there are very few markings. The gates are near the fence on the right.
Before tackling this route, I advise you to watch the 2 videos linked in Denis' commentary.

This is a long route on good paths, which means it can be enjoyed in all seasons.There are a few sections on roads, but apart from the D68 near Avesnes, they are not very busy.The icing on the cake is the crossing of Avesnes-le-Comte via Les Voyettes.
