Domaine de Drancourt Domaine de Drancourt

The myriad of opportunities for bird watching make the Somme valley renowned among ornithologists. There are many cycle routes in the area – take the country lanes to St. Valery-sur-Somme and then link into the cycle routes from there to various destinations around the Somme Bay. The coastal steam railway runs through St. Valery, and there are guided canoe or walking trips in and around the bay, to view seals and other wildlife. A short drive will bring you to walks in the forest of Crécy, a notable Hundred Years War battleground from which, some claim, the famous ostrich feathers were first claimed as an emblem by the Prince of Wales.
