The short section that loops around Beaurainville is of little interest.
The rest is very pleasant to walk. Towards the end of the route, there is a climb through the fields, offering a view of the marsh from the hill.
I really enjoyed this route for its variety.
Great walk,

As for the clay pigeon shooting, I’m afraid I’m not aware of all the events – that can happen – so it’s best to check the town hall’s website

We only did half the route because it was hot, and we enjoyed walking under the trees.
We found it a bit difficult to find our way at times because of errors in the description.

A lovely hike with a group of fifty people. A beautiful stretch along the Canche – do remember to wear trousers and a light long-sleeved jacket for crossing the marsh. A lovely climb that’s definitely worth doing again; everyone enjoyed it.

What a lovely walk, with some beautiful sections through the woods and a short climb in the second half of the route. Please note that on Sunday 4 August 2024, a shooting event was taking place at point 4. So I had to turn back and take the small road that leads directly to point 6
