About this tour

A delightful town with magnificent buildings and a beautiful central place surrounded by restaurants and shops.

For all students of the First World War, the significance of the losses that were suffered in the battlefields of the Ypres Salient cannot be over emphasised. The memorials in this region are numerous, and considerable effort has gone into preserving the memory and the sacrifices that were made by soldiers on both sides of the battle.

Beyond the town, expert guides are available to show you all the significant cemeteries and explain their connections. Your students will be encouraged to seek out references to members of their families and to appreciate how most of the soldiers lying all around them were little older than they are now, when they died. The literary connections of the trenches are highlighted with handwritten versions of the poetry composed at any given site. The trenches and bunkers can also be experienced first-hand.

If your trip is curriculum-based, one of our tour managers will be happy to discuss your learning objectives with you. We want your group to achieve the best educational benefits from the tour, no matter how many subjects or topics you wish to cover and of course including the fun element.
