Well worth a stop here. Good coffee stop and the chance to visit a WWI dressing station.

Hawthorn Ridge Crater is a mine crater that was exploded during the First World War. This crater, located at the entrance to Beaumont-Hamel in Picardy, France, bears witness to the tragic events that unfolded on July 1, 1916, when British soldiers attacked German fortifications on the ridge. The mine exploded eight minutes too early, allowing the Germans to regain the upper hand and inflict heavy losses on the attackers. You can access the crater via a muddy path between two pastures, and admire the vegetation that has reclaimed the site. You can also learn about the history of the battle and the second explosion which took place on November 13, 1916. The crater is part of a wider network of memorials and cemeteries which commemorate the soldiers who fell on the Somme.

Pretty village which deserves that one lingers there in particular for its belfry.

Apart from the old keep that can be seen from the western part of the village, the castle of Lucheux, which has become an IME, has been destroyed several times, has kept among others its doors including the one known as "the village" which is visible from the paved road that goes up of the belfry.

Lucheux is a pretty village in the Somme. It was an imposing seigneury from the 12th century and remains the only town in Picardy to keep the three symbolic buildings of French medieval society: the castle, the belfry and the church. It deserves to be included in one of your cycling or hiking trips.
