THE TOUR
Our tour is based in the Belgium town of Ieper (Flemish name) or Ypres (old French name) just sixty miles from the Port of Calais close to the French border. We plan to visit some of the key battlefields, cemeteries and memorials of WW1 following its 100th anniversary but also WW2 battle sites which covered much the same territory. The name Somme refers to the region and River Somme which rises in Picardy France and flows for 152 miles in France and Belgium before it reaches the English Channel. We are based in the lovely Albion Hotel which is close to the Menin Gate, which we have used previously
