Chipilly walks
Camp de César viewpoint starting from Chipilly
Discover the canalised Somme and the Haute-Somme ponds from a vantage point high above, then walk alongside the ponds and the canal.
The Canalised Somme and the Fargny Ponds
A very pleasant hike in one of the meanders of the Somme, along its canalised section and several ponds where you can observe many birds. Three-quarters of the way along the route, the Vaux viewpoint offers a superb panorama of the area you have covered.
Discovering the Vaux mountain - Éclusier-Vaux
Walk proposed by the Somme Departmental Council to discover the Montagne de Vaux, marked with yellow lines.
Lochnagar Crater from La Boisselle
A short memorial hike to visit the most impressive mine crater of the Great War, the result of an explosion that took place on 1 July 1916, the day the Battle of the Somme began. A well-maintained memorial site with numerous information panels.
The Thiepval Memorial and the Ulster Tower
A memorial hike through iconic sites of the Battle of the Somme (July-November 1916). Several military cemeteries line the route, with the Ulster Tower and the imposing Franco-British memorial adding a solemn touch.
The Newfoundland Memorial at Beaumont-Hamel
A memorial hike in territory that became Canadian after the First World War, in tribute to the soldiers from the island of Newfoundland who were engaged here on the day the Battle of the Somme began (1 July 1916) and of whom the vast majority were killed or wounded. A moving, well-maintained route with well-preserved remains.
Paths of remembrance from the Great War
This list includes several hikes that pay tribute to soldiers of all nationalities who fought in the First World War. More than a century later, certain remnants still bear witness to the appalling conditions in which they lived. In the list, these hikes are classified according to the front line, from north to south and then from west to east.
Walk around Boves
A short walk around Boves to get a glimpse of the rolling, wooded landscape of the Picardy countryside. You will then discover the marshes of the Saint-Ladre pond nature reserve.
Les Belles Vues
A wetland where mills have replaced Gallo-Roman villas.
A story of water: Saint Druon even cured the ‘little bed-wetters’ in Cottenchy.
Saint-Ulphe
Through the Saint-Ladre Nature Reserve and its specially designed route, you will discover the frogs that live in the ponds.
Bois du Roi
The 83 doors and windows of Guyencourt sur Noye Castle give you a taste of what to expect at Remiencourt Castle.
Follow the sunken lanes.
Around Hébuterne
A pleasant walk along narrow country lanes that will take you to Sailly-au-Bois and then Colincamps before bringing you back to Hébuterne. Walking boots are recommended in wet weather.
Grand-Mère Valley
The "souffle de la terre" (breath of the earth), a night-time sound and light show, illuminates this route between the lake and the charming little church of Berny.
Bois de Berny
A 10 km hike where you will see castles, churches, dovecotes...
The Two Woods and the Quilienne river
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).
Les Champs d'Argent
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.
From Montagne Blanche to the Amplier Valley
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.
