Lamotte Circuit

Nestled between land and sea, the Lamotte circuit starting from Ault, a charming coastal resort in the Somme, offers hikers a route combining coastal landscapes, rural heritage, and preserved nature. This marked trail of about 12 km invites you to explore the heights of the chalk cliffs and the hinterland which offers views over the endless horizon of the English Channel.
The start is from the center of Ault, a typical maritime village, next to the Saint-Pierre church. After crossing the town heading towards the sea, the trail gradually climbs south towards the Bois de Cise, offering magnificent views of the white cliffs and the sea as far as the eye can see.
The rest of the route winds between hollow paths bordered by hedges, pastures, and groves, revealing the Bois de Cise then the municipality of Saint-Quentin-Lamotte-Croix-au-Bailly (the longest commune name in France!).
Accessible to walkers of all levels, this well-marked circuit can be completed in about 2.5 to 3 hours.
