Description of the walk

Car park at Hébuterne Town Hall.

(S/E) Turn left and walk up the square to Rue de Sailly, D27. First turn right then left, walk up the square past the white planters and follow Rue du Four all the way to the water tower.

⚑Departure from Douchy-lès-Ayette (Pas-de-Calais)
An easy walk on decent paths. Ideal for autumn as the paths seem to cope well with damp conditions. A few tarmac sections but virtually no motorised traffic. Passes near the Bois d'Adinfer, which is unfortunately private except for a short stretch of path on the way out of Adinfer. Little elevation gain. This walk can be completed in under 3 hours. The only potential issue is perhaps finding parking at the starting point (???)
