Bours, a village of brick and cob houses, lies at the foot of the Artois hills. The village centre and its hamlets are set in a calm, green environment. This beautiful village owes part of its fame to the 14th-century keep, listed as a Historic Monument and the only one of its kind north of Paris, which stands proudly alongside the town hall, the church with its octagonal bell tower and the square lined with lime trees. Numerous chapels, the grotto of Lourdes and the Calvary bear witness to its lively religious past. Bours also boasts typical farmhouses with square courtyards, bread ovens, chartils and its magnificent Ternésian bocage, a rich testimony to its agricultural vocation. It is crossed by the GR127, has two approved hiking trails and two cycle tourism circuits. Bours is a dynamic village with a rich history, agriculture, businesses and associations: a must-see for walkers.

The village of Sibiville lies at the heart of a narrow wooded valley through which flows the Ayres stream, which feeds into the Canche. The village is marked by a number of ravines offering walks with an abundance of flora and fauna. The village was once the seat of a seigniory under the control of Cercamp Abbey in Frévent.

The village of Séricourt is best known for its "Jardins de Séricourt", classified as a "remarkable garden" in 2012. Its Old French name "séri courtil" means "little garden" and underlines the beauty of this green setting at the end of a valley criss-crossed by the Ayres stream. Today, the village has a population of around 60 and is working to restore the chapel of Saint Martin, the oldest building in the village.

Situated on the banks of the River Canche between Frévent and Hesdin, Boubers, France's 1st "Village Fleuri" in 1959, continues to attract visitors thanks to the "4 flowers" it won in the Concours National des Villes et Villages Fleuris and the "Fleur d'or" in 2015, awarded to 9 French communes. Flowers have helped Boubers make a name for itself a thousand miles around, and they still play an important role in various sectors of activity: nursery, flower sales, shops, restaurants and a campsite with the "green key" label. The church, the castle, the schools, the farms and the workers' cottages of the former spinning mill are all part of the village's history. Finally, hiking trails add a bucolic touch to the village's charm.

Conchy developed along a coastal river, the Canche. This river, renowned for its trout, allowed mills and their activities to develop, as evidenced by the former sawmill, now a cultural centre. The heart of the village is laid out around an oval plan, where the civil, religious and economic life of the community was organised. Its heritage is rich in traditional rural dwellings, old farms and smallholdings, and of course the church, the old presbytery and the school. Nostalgic for the "route des villages fleuris", which in the 1970s, along with Boubers, was the valley's main tourist attraction, Conchy embarked on the flower scheme in 2005, quickly obtaining its 3 flowers, and finally the 4th in 2012, a case of rapidity that is unique in France! The Autumn Garden Festival is held every year on the 2nd Sunday in October and attracts a large number of nurserymen and plant lovers.

Location Information: The Cemetery is about 1 kilometre south of the village, on the road (D340) to Frevent. GPS coordinates: 50.31093, 2 .16593 Visiting Information: Wheelchair access is possible with some difficulty. Identified Casualties: 92 Historical Information Use of the cemetery began in June 1918 when the 46th Casualty Clearing station settled, used later by 6th Stationary Hospital, and subsequently completed by the inclusion of graves from French cemeteries and German burial grounds in the area. The cemetery was used again during the Second World War. The cemetery now contains 81 Commonwealth burials of the First World War (eight of them unidentified) and 19 Second World War burials.
