DIEPPE. 217 



road from Amiens to Mont-Didier passes within available 

 distance of all these waters. 



On the opposite side of the city of Amiens, the river 

 Celle joins the Somme ; but it flows in a different direction 

 from the tributaries already mentioned. The Celle takes its 

 rise near the village of Fontaine, and when it reaches the 

 small town of Conty, it receives the waters of two other 

 small rivers, the Paix and the Tossas. The Encre, which 

 rises above Albert, is also a good tributary. 



From Amiens to the sea, the other tributaries to the 

 Somme are but trifling rivulets, scarcely worth the angler's 

 attention ; the Maie and the Ponthiere are the best. 



On the route from the Somme to Dieppe, the angler 

 will fall in with two good trout-streams the Bresle, a little 

 above the town of Aumale, which runs into the sea at 

 Eu; and the Yeres, which also rises not far from Aumale, 

 and enters the sea at a place called Creil. Both these 

 rivers deserve examination. 



Bieppe. 



There is a good deal of trout-fishing in the rivers which 

 flow into the sea at this place. These are the Arques, the 

 Eaulne, and the Bethune. These three streams run nearly 

 parallel with each other at a short distance, and respectively 

 traverse the country for about twenty-five miles. The 

 small town of Neufchatel, celebrated for its cheese, is 

 situated on the left bank of the Bethune river which is 

 the centre of the three, f and therefore commands a ready 

 access to the Eaulne and the Arques. 



This place is celebrated for its strong fortified chateau, 

 which Henry L, of England, built here at the commence- 

 ment of the twelfth century, and which is well known in 

 the records of history.
