Halloy (Pas-de-Calais) walks
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.
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.
Southern Lucheux circuit: La Cavée
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
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
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
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.
De la Canche au Bois de Mortagne
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.
L'ubac de Rebreuve-sur-Canche
A short, unpretentious and easy route.Very small roads and paths for a relaxing half-day out.
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.
The wolf trail from Lignereuil
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.
The Lime Tree Avenue in Lignereuil
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.
Aux sources de la Canche
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.
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.
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 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.
The three castles from Hauteville
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.
From Fond de Croisette to Terres de l'Amour
A route offering beautiful views of the Authie valley.
The paths are very good in the first section (up to Frohen) and the end is a little more challenging, but in the heart of the countryside.
Noyelle-Vion: in the footsteps of the Gauls
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.
The Canche, the moorland and the Ravin des Cavernes
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.
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.
Bois Madame via the Canche at Boubers-sur-Canche
A pleasant walk starting from Boubers-sur-Canche, with its castle and St Leger’s Church, which, passing through La Canche, leads to the Vacquerie-le-Boucq plateau, skirting the Bois Madame, then descends along the Bois des Avents back to Boubers-sur-Canche.
Autour du bois d'Habarcq
Du porche majestueux de l'ancienne ferme principale de la commanderie des templiers jusqu'à l'église de Hermaville au clocher-tour imposant, édifiée en 1782 et classée "monument historique", une randonnée à travers champs, bosquets et bois sur des chemins en bon état. Cette randonnée emprunte par endroit la randonnée "Sentier des Templiers" éditée par l'Office du Tourisme des"Campagnes de l'Artois".
The Chemin Vert in Aubigny-en-Artois
This is a reworking of an existing route, part of which has unfortunately disappeared due to lack of maintenance. The route through Aubignyen-Artois has also been modified to take the old, less busy streets, and a return trip to Villers-Châtel has been added to admire the church and castle.The circuit is done in the opposite direction to the signposting, which allows you to start with the most urban part.See practical information
Le chemin vert depuis Aubigny-en-Artois
Belle randonnée dans les paysages de l'Artois et ses villages.
Along the young Scarpe from Frévin-Capelle to Aubigny-en-Artois
During this walk of just over 8 km, you’ll walk in the shade alongside the Scarpe, which is still narrow here, and pass through three pretty villages with their white-stone farms and churches. You’ll also find a local pub, La Belle Époque, open every lunchtime except Tuesdays, opposite the town hall in Frévin-Capelle.
La vallée de la Scarpe depuis Acq
Cette randonnée vous emmène dans la plaine de l'Artois et la vallée de la Scarpe.
Discover the splendours of Mont Saint-Éloi, Écoivres & Acq
This walk is loosely based on the "Sentier des Pierres du Diable" (Devil's Stone Trail), but allows you to discover, alongside the famous Devil's Stones, the magnificent Mont-Éloi Abbey, the Écoivres war cemetery, the churches of Écoivres, Acq and Mont Saint-Éloi, and the Acq mill.
