WW1 Battlefield Tour 2023
This WW1 Battlefield Tour in France and Belgium happened over remembrance weekend 2023. Two full packed days with guided tours in both the areas of the Somme and Ypres.
Visiting iconic locations that were key locations during World War One. Including Wellington tunnels, Vimy ridge, Ypres, Flanders Fields, British, German and French Cemeteries, Canadian and Yorkshire Trenches and Menin Gate for the Last Post on remembrance Sunday.
Personally I enjoyed it that much, I am going back to visit more locations in the area.
