Douchy-lès-Ayette walks
Douchy-lès-Ayette
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 (???)
Le Val du Crinchon
Randonnée agréable dans les bois et les champs. De belles rencontres avec la nature.
The lark from Rivière
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.
From Hébuterne to Douchy-lès-Ayettes via Monchy-au-Bois and Essart-lès-Bucquoy
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.
Circular route between Hébuterne and Bucquoy
A charming little country lane that will take you towards Puisieux, then towards Essart-les-Bucquoy, before bringing you back to Hébuterne via Gommecourt. Few roads, just to link the lanes. You can turn left after passing the farm (3) to visit the British cemeteries.
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.
Circular route between Hébuterne and Coigneux
A very pleasant walk that takes you through varied, undulating and wooded landscapes. It offers a chance to take a refreshing break by the banks of the Source de l’Authie before heading back to Hébuterne.
Circular route between Hébuterne and Colincamps via the Chemin de Beaumont
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.
Circular route between Hébuterne and Foncquevillers via Gommecourt
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.
Artois countryside
A short, relatively sheltered walk through the countryside and around quiet little villages, naturally more enjoyable in dry weather.
Tour du Trou à l’Eau
A countryside walk that can be enjoyed in all weathers.
Circuit "le Belloy" à Wailly
Très belle randonnée autour de Wailly en passant par la Plaine au Crichon.
The upper Crinchon valley at Bailleulmont
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.
La basse vallée du Crinchon à Wailly
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.
