Thank you for your feedback, but unfortunately, if we could just focus on the journey, that would be perfect, but sometimes we have no choice

A very well-marked walk
You pass by beautiful castles and lovely 19th-century stone houses
Personally, I find the stretch along the road through the farmland a bit boring
But a nice walk all the same

⚑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.

↔18.41 mi ↗+505 ft ↘-486 ft ◔7 hrs ▲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.

An easy hike on beautiful paths that will take you through Simencourt and Berneville. Warlus was the seat of a seigneury before the revolution. This hike in the plains, with a few wooded sections, is ideal for families.

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.

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.

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.

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
