Willencourt offers a variety of landscapes that testify to its attachment to its heritage and respect for diversity. To welcome visitors to the village in a pleasant setting, the commune and its residents are very active in the flowering of the village, which has earned Willencourt several awards, including the silver medal for villages in bloom. The "Village Patrimoine" trail allows visitors to stroll around and discover the heritage of this peaceful village, particularly from the magnificent viewpoint overlooking the Authie valley, and to take advantage of the hiking and canoeing routes in the surrounding area.

Vitz-sur-Authie has the unusual distinction of having not one, but two churches: one listed as a Historic Monument and the other resulting from its merger with Villeroy in 1839. Take a walk along the banks of the Authie, which flows through the whole of the commune, and discover a heritage that holds many surprises: the woodwork in the beautiful church of Vitz, and in the small cemetery of Villeroy, the tomb of the Countess Léon, wife of Count Léon, the first natural son of Napoleon 1st.

Buire-au-Bois nestles in the hollow of a dry valley leading down to the Authie, in a tranquil setting with colours that change with the seasons. From the splendour of the 18th century to the dark hours of the Second World War, history has left its mark: the town hall and school, the 17th-century manor house and Notre-Dame church (1752), the Louis XV-style "folie" (1755-1757). On the heights of the village, tortured pastures betray the phosphate mining (1885-1905) that made its fortune. Bachimont is home to the world's finest V1 flying bomb launch base. With its cob houses, wells, flower beds and its four-season market (a remarkable tree), Buire offers a variety of landscapes that testify to its attachment to its heritage and respect for diversity. There are a number of walking routes that wind their way through all these sites, making for a pleasant stroll along the paths!

Nœux-les-Auxi is a charming little village nestling at the bottom of a dry valley perpendicular to the Authie. The village square is shaded by linden trees over a hundred years old, and it is around this square that social life is organised, with the school, the town hall and the school accommodation, as well as religious life, with the church and the former presbytery. The village has retained its festive character, with traditional, cultural and nature festivals, the highlight of which is the transhumance to the Riez nature reserve in May. The route takes in the chapel, the village café, the château, a beautiful Picardy farmhouse, cob buildings and the church. To admire the scenery, walkers can also take advantage of two hiking trails starting from the village and a 12 km loop, the sentier des Capris.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The village of Sibiville lies at the heart of a narrow wooded valley through which flows the Ayres stream, which feeds into the Canche.
