Tips from the Community
Bordered to the north by the Samara estate and to the south by the Somme, the Tirancourt marsh, with its wild and preserved character, is home to a great diversity of environments and several animal and plant species typical of alkaline peat bogs, often rare and endangered species. Among the most emblematic species of this marsh is the Great Spearwort (Ranunculus lingua), a protected buttercup over 1 meter tall which has significant populations here. During your walk, keep your eyes peeled, you might spot the Fjord horses or Nantais cows that graze the site for part of the year. www.cen-hautsdefrance.org/site/le-marais-de-tirancourt/

Not far from here (1.2 km), on the outskirts of Bourdon, there is a large military cemetery for German soldiers who fell here on the Somme in heavy fighting (including the Battle of Abbeville in early June 1940).
