La Boisselle Mine Crater

Highlight • Historical Site

Lochnagar Crater is the largest artificial mine crater of the First World War on the Western Front. It was created by a massive explosion of 60,000 pounds of explosives under German lines on July 1, 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. You can go around the crater on a walk and learn about its history thanks to the information panels. You can also pay your respects to fallen soldiers by visiting the memorial cross and memorial plaques.

Lochnagar Crater

Highlight • Monument

The Cratère de Lochnagar, an impressive war memorial, was created by a huge mine blown up by the British Royal Engineers on 1 July 1916, as part of the Battle of the Somme. The explosion marked the beginning of the battle and left a crater 90 metres in diameter and 25 metres deep.
Interestingly, the crater was named after Lochnagar Street, the trench from which the tunnel was dug. The crater is now a preserved site of remembrance and a religious service is held there every year on 1 July in memory of those who died.

aveluy nymph

Highlight • Other

The Nymphe d'Aveluy is a historical monument in Aveluy, France, commemorating the artwork created by French soldiers during World War I. During periods of rest between battles, soldiers created sculptures and engravings, including the famous "Nymphe d'Aveluy". These works were often photographed and sent to their families on postcards.

Mémorial Crucifix Corner

Highlight • Other

Crucifix Corner marks the spot where a destroyed crucifix gave its name to the nearby cemetery of the fierce fighting of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, April 24-26, 1918, where Australians, British and French stopped the German advance on Amiens. You can explore the graves of 660 Commonwealth soldiers, as well as 141 French and two Russians. The cemetery was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, a famous architect who also created the Thiepval Memorial and the Cenotaph in London.

Ulster Tower

Highlight • Other

The Tour d'Ulster, also known as the Helen Tower or Tour de Belfast, is a British war memorial. It was built in 1921 to commemorate the soldiers of the 36th Ulster Division who died during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. The tower is a replica of a neo-Gothic tower in Clandeboye Park, near Belfast, where the 36th Division trained.
An interesting anecdote is that the 36th Ulster Division was the first to attack during the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, but suffered heavy losses from both German and British artillery fire. The division lost over 5,500 men in just a few hours. The Tour d'Ulster has a cafeteria where you can enjoy a cup of tea, scones or Tayto chips, a specialty from Northern Ireland. It is a nice place to relax.
