Departure from Halloy (Pas-de-Calais) (Pas-de-Calais)
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.
Les Champs d'Argent

7h 00
Difficult
Departure from Amplier (Pas-de-Calais)
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.
Southern Lucheux circuit: La Cavée

5h 15
Moderate
Departure from Grouches-Luchuel (Somme)
There is very little tarmac on this route , which is best done in dry weather.Discover La Cavée, ravaged by storms a few years ago and beautifully restored.A good stretch of the route is on the old railway line (well shaded) before descending to the beautiful village of Grouches-Luchuel.
The Beech Tree Route in Lucheux

6h 50
Difficult
Departure from Lucheux (Somme)
I have tried to revive an old marked trail (and kept its name) which, like many in the area, has completely disappeared (the Somme CDRP seems rather ineffective and, moreover, is unreachable).
It is a route with virtually no roads, but crossing the Forest of Lucheux is very difficult as many of the paths are badly damaged. Fortunately, the GR® markings are clear there.
So, a difficult route, even very difficult after rain: in good condition on 19 April 2026, apart of course from the section through the forest where the ‘path’ is in a terrible state.
The Two Woods and the Quilienne river

Moderate
Departure from Pas-en-Artois (Pas-de-Calais)
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).
Lucheux and its forest
9.20 mi
+328 ft
-331 ft
4h 30
Moderate
Departure from Sus-Saint-Léger (Pas-de-Calais)
A beautiful route around Lucheux, best done in dry weather, as theGR®124is in very poor condition (and poorly marked!) in the forest.
You may see deer and wild boar.
This route replaces the old one, the western section of which is now impassable.
The Bois des Bouloies in Barly
6.92 mi

3h 45
Moderate
Departure from Barly (Somme) (Somme)
I used the start of an old marked trail (Sentier de la Fontaine) which, like many in this area, has disappeared. The route takes you through the Bois des Bouloies and, after passing through Occoches, the return journey follows wide farm tracks.
You can have a picnic in the square. You can follow this up with the “Les pâtis au départ de Barly” walk for a total of 20 km.

An easy start on good paths, then a passage along the Sentier des Culs Trempés (which unfortunately is no longer maintained) before a beautiful climb up to Canettemont.

Departure from Lignereuil (Pas-de-Calais)
This hike in Artois will take you through beautiful villages between plains and woodlands on good quality paths, returning via the 1,350-metre-long Allée des Tilleuls, lined with 898 hundred-year-old trees planted in 1745 by Louis Benoit de Hamel, and Lignereuil Castle.

Very difficult
Departure from Avesnes-le-Comte (Pas-de-Calais)
After starting on the Avesnes footpaths, we follow the GRP® de l'Artois, then the GR®121 for a long and varied loop.Wide paths across agricultural plains, trails along woods and finally the Allée des Tilleuls in Lignereuil.
All dotted with a few châteaux.
It's enough to make for a good day out, especially as the paths are generally in very good condition, even in wet weather.

Difficult
Departure from Sars-le-Bois (Pas-de-Calais)
A long route that is ideal when the weather is less favourable.A few small roads (most of which have grass growing in the central reservation), some fairly easy country lanes and a very beautiful section leading down to Le Cauroy.

This hike between plains and woods will take you to Barly Castle. Listed as a historic monument, it was built in 1780 by the Blin family. It is open to visitors today. You will also see Fosseux Castle, which was built in 1770 by Parisian architect Villetard at the request of Ferdinand Dubois de Hoves de Fosseux.

Difficult
Departure from Noyelle-Vion (Pas-de-Calais)
This is a long route on good paths, which means it can be enjoyed in all seasons.There are a few sections on roads, but apart from the D68 near Avesnes, they are not very busy.The icing on the cake is the crossing of Avesnes-le-Comte via Les Voyettes.

Difficult
Departure from Ligny-sur-Canche (Pas-de-Calais)
In the Riez de Nœux-les-Auxi, there is a beautiful walk along the Canche in Boubers and Ligny. With the climb up the Ravin des Cavernes, you really feel like you are in another world (even more so now, with the final chaos). The route becomes very difficult in wet weather in the Riez and the ravine.
