October Half Term:
One for The Battlefields or The Land of Fire and Ice
The Battlefields
Walk through reconstructed trenches, stand on the very ground that men fought and died for, and bring home the reality of the conflict as you take a trip to some of the area’s cemeteries and memorials – from the large and imposing areas dedicated to tens of thousands of servicemen and women, to the smaller and more personal areas erected to remember individual soldiers and regiments.
