Forest-l'Abbaye walks

This walk in the Crécy Forest will enchant you with its four majestic trees, among other things. The IGN map is highly recommended for following the route.

This 20 km circuit between Abbeville and Saint-Riquier takes you to the Monflières Chapel, then the Scardon Valley, seen from above, before returning via the Traverse du Ponthieu.

This short walk of just under 6 km in and around Saint-Valery-sur-Somme is full of charm with its fishermen's streets lined with decorated and flower-filled houses, its sailors' calvary with views of the entire bay and the town, its quays along the Somme and its Saint-Valery Chapel, known as the Sailors' Chapel, not to mention its history with the Porte Jeanne d'Arc and numerous views of the Bay of Somme

A walk through the streets of a town with a rich history and along the banks of the Baie de Somme.

Rideau: a rather local term for a hedge of copses to break the wind, which is commonly found on this hilly route in the heart of the green Vimeu region. There are some lovely stretches along the banks of the Trie and a ford near the Chaussoy manor house that is well worth admiring before tackling a steep climb through the undergrowth. This route is signposted by the local council, but this version is a shortened one.

From Port du Hourdel, there is a coastal route that returns along the ponds and passes by the Maison des Oiseaux. Important note from one of our friends: please note that parking at Le Hourdel is subject to a charge, even in low season. However, the car park located between (3) and (4) was free when we went on our walk. It was therefore possible to start the walk from this new starting point.

This walk allows you to discover the Authie valley on the east side. We pass by the old Auxi-le-Château railway station, which is a fine example of the restoration and conversion of existing heritage. Also worth noting is the small military cemetery, which reminds us of the horrors of war. Finally, enjoy the superb views of the valley and the charming town of Auxi.

This hike through hills and valleys allows you to discover the three "Heritage Villages" surrounding Auxi-le-Château. It offers a variety of landscapes that testify to the inhabitants' attachment to their heritage and respect for diversity.

This loop allows you to discover the banks of the Authie and its marshes before leaving the valley and climbing up to the plateau. It finally skirts around the Pâture Mille Trous nature reserve. There is a beautiful view of Auxi-le-Château and its 15th-century listed church.

Starting from the seaside resort of Cayeux, a route that will take us to Pointe du Hourdel via Bois de Brighton and the ponds. View of the Baie de Somme and Le Crotoy. The return journey is along the seashore on the sand, sometimes with your feet in the water depending on the tide. Bring binoculars to watch the seals on the sandbanks

The Baie de Somme is magnificent. If you want to see seals, go sand yachting or horse riding on the sand, and you love the sea, dunes and footpaths, then this hike is for you.

This is a two-circular walk south of Authie Bay, between the mainland, sand and beach, in a wild and protected environment. The circular in the bay is best done at low tide, as it is easier to walk on wet sand! The Visorando app is useful for following the first circular.

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.

If you want to go for a walk with the option of a dip in the sea halfway along the route, this is just what you need!

A feeling of the beginning of the world on this immense beach on the Opal Coast.Get there by bus, then on foot via the GR®120. A real treat.

A bucolic hike along the pure, fish-filled waters of the Canche, starting at La Citadelle, whose Royal Castle dates back to the 13th century. You'll start by walking along the ramparts. You'll pass through the marshes and stroll along the banks of La Canche. You may come across fishermen or sportsmen training at the Canoe-Kayak club.

Come and discover the rich flora, fauna and history surrounding the Chartreuse de Neuville, one of the largest Carthusian monasteries in France. Along the way, you will find the ingredients for Larmes-de-Notre-Dame-des-Prés, a liqueur traditionally made by the monks.To start or finish your hike, you will receive a warm welcome for a tour of the Chartreuse de Neuville.Find opening times and news on the Chartreuse website.

A lovely walk in the Triage massif, part of the 9,300-hectare Eu forest. This forest was once owned by the Orléans family. A majestic forest composed mainly of beech trees. The hike takes you past the Quesne au Loup and the Pierre Bise. On the way back, we have a magnificent view of the valley overlooking the town of Incheville and the forest.

A succession of small roads and paths for a day in the great outdoors.The icing on the cake: a good elevation gain with a superb climb in the Bois de Fressin. For very experienced hikers, I highly recommend the alternative route described in the practical information section.

Come and take a stroll in the Stella dunes, a very fragile Natura 2000 listed natural environment, to be explored with respect. Most of this trail is covered in sand. You'll discover three types of dunes (embryo, white and grey), with lovely panoramic views from the top. You'll walk alongside the sea and discover Bois Joly. A very fine hike, albeit a little physically demanding.
