Sus-Saint-Léger walks
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.
The Allée Royale in the Forest of Lucheux
A route around Lucheux, largely following the ‘Lucheux and its Forest’ circular route, which starts from Sus-Saint-Léger. As noted in the description of that circular route, it is best to undertake this walk in dry weather, as the sectionof the GR®124in the forest is in very poor condition. However, it is fairly easy to bypass the impassable sections, or even avoid this stretch altogether.
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.
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.
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An easy start on good paths, then a passage along the Sentier des Culs Trempés (which unfortunately is no longer maintained) before a beautiful climb up to Canettemont.
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.
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 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.
L'ubac de Rebreuve-sur-Canche
A short, unpretentious and easy route.Very small roads and paths for a relaxing half-day out.
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.
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).
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 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.
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.
The Bois des Bouloies in Barly
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.
The Fontaines Bleues from Barly
A previously signposted path has been restored. The Fontaines Bleues are very beautiful but have been completely neglected!
It’s a route through unspoilt countryside, taking you through two woods.
Bonus: you can start with the “Le Bois des Bouloies” walk. At point (7), by turning left, you’ll join this route (towards the hamlet of Les Tilleuls: point (3). The total distance should then be around 24 km.
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.
Some of the highlights of the northern slope of the Canche Valley
A walk taking in a wide variety of paths and landscapes. There’s something for everyone, young and old alike. You’ll also come across some blue springs.
Le Pronay and its “cathedral”
Le Pronay, a hamlet of Ramecourt with its ‘Cathedral’ (3), so named by one of our members: it is in fact a chapel. You’ll reach it by crossing the Bois de Pronay. For the return journey, follow a section of the old railway line from Saint-Pol to Frévent and, to finish, you’ll pass in front of Sains Castle.
A largely shaded walk.
Le Chemin de la Vertu bleue au départ d'Hermaville
Belle randonnée à faire en famille ou autres, tantôt en sous-bois ou en plaine. Il est possible que vous voyez les cultures bleues dû à la nature du sol selon la météo.
The green lime trees around Herlin-le-Sec
A short, picturesque walk in the Ternois region, taking in plains and woodland.
The Butterfly Route in Beauval
Discover the history of Beauval through its cultural and industrial heritage by following the Papillon route.
The Chemin des Morts
From Saint-Michel-sur-Ternoise along the Chemin des Morts towards the Épainchen estate at the source of the Ternoise, passing by the famous nightclub “Les Catherinettes” and Saint-Michel Church.
Enjoy the walk, everyone...
From the Ternoise springs to the Chemin des Morts
A walk through the Ternois countryside, between woodland and open countryside, taking you to the headwaters of the Ternoise and the woods of Saint-Pol and Saint-Michel, where, with a bit of luck and if you keep quiet, you might spot some roe deer.
Take care when crossing the woods during the hunting season.
The paths through the woods of Saint-Pol and Saint-Michel
A lovely walk, mostly along forest paths that are very pleasant in sunny, warm weather. If you set off early in the morning, you’re likely to come across roe deer out for a stroll in the woods.
Please note: the path is closed during the hunting season.
The fortified church of Mingoval, as seen from Aubigny-en-Artois
A lovely walk linking the market town of Aubigny-en-Artois – where you’ll find all the shops – to the charming village of Mingoval with its white-stone church, fortified tower and beautiful farmhouses. As the route reaches altitudes of over 150 metres in places, you’ll have views overlooking the surrounding villages – Savy-Berlette, Caucourt and the Scarpe valley, which is still narrow at this point.
Le chemin vert depuis Aubigny-en-Artois
Belle randonnée dans les paysages de l'Artois et ses villages.
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
The Fossé Cagnu
Starting from Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, the Fossé Cagnu route takes you along a few of the town’s narrow lanes, then along paths that are sometimes damp, followed by a short detour through the village of Troisvaux before descending the famous ditch.
Along the way, it’s not uncommon to spot a few deer.
