Cratère de Lochnagar
Lochnagar Crater is an impressive site, estimated today to be around 100 meters wide and 30 meters deep. It was created by a mine explosion at 7:28 a.m. on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. This was one of nineteen mines detonated that day. A visit to this site provides the opportunity to explain how the battle began and its significance.

Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial
Newfoundland was a Dominion of the British Empire and a small island with a population of 250,000 at the time of the First World War. Their Memorial Park is a unique site, as it is a preserved battlefield and marks where the Newfoundland Regiment went into action on 1 July 1916 and lost most of their regiment. Here, your guide will recount their actions on that day and the regiment’s wider participation in the First World War.
