Douchy-lès-Ayette walks

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 (???)

This walk starting from Rivière will take you through the plains and woods towards L’Alouette before returning via the Fossé de Berles and the Fossé à l’Eau. You can admire Saint-Vaast Church, a listed historic monument.

A very pleasant walk that takes you through varied and colourful landscapes across a changing countryside. Although there are no major difficulties, a reasonable level of fitness is recommended due to the length of the route.

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.

A pleasant and easy route along partly tarmac-surfaced country lanes, which will take you back to your starting point. Very practical in wet weather as the paths are not muddy and therefore not very messy.

A pleasant short walk, mostly along country lanes, passing through Foncquevillers and Gommecourt. You can visit the Foncquevillers Military Cemetery, where a commemoration ceremony is held every year with the British.

Très belle randonnée autour de Wailly en passant par la Plaine au Crichon.

The route is in a very urbanised area, but it is almost always on paths and it is pleasant to follow a river for so long.Apart from the length, it is not too difficult.For enthusiasts, there are numerous information panels, first between Agny and Wailly, then in Rivière. In the past, you used to see lots of deer at the start of the walk (near the "Le Marché à Dieu" woods), but I haven't seen any since the Rocade Sud was built.

An easy hike on beautiful paths that will take you through Simencourt and Berneville. Warlus was the seat of a seigneury before the revolution. This hike in the plains, with a few wooded sections, is ideal for families.

Belle randonnée entre la plaine de l'arrageois et le long du Crinchon avec ses trois clochers achicourt wailly et agny

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.

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.
