WWI battlefields trips bring history to life

There is no better way of bringing the history textbooks to life than a visit to the battlefields of the Ypres Salient. 

On our Ypres battlefield guided tour our guide takes students on an inspiring and thought-provoking tour across the area, engaging them with powerful and intimate stories of many who are buried there. If you have a family member or old school pupil who fought and fell on the battlefields, our guide can trace these graves for you.

In addition on our educational school trip, your students can visit:

  • Tyne Cot Cemetery where almost 12,000 Commonwealth soldiers are buried.
  • Langemark cemetery in which there are with over 40,000 German soldiers, almost half of them in a massed grave.
  • Sanctuary Wood Museum (Hill 62) - A trench museum started in 1919.
  • In Flanders Fields Museum - An interactive, audio-visual museum; and
  • Last Post at Menin Gate - This famous gate's ceremony takes place every day of the year at 8pm.
  • Feel the weight of history by visiting the Passchendaele Cemetery on your WWI battlefields trip

"There was a good balance between activities and down time and we were well situated for our activities.

"We have established a good relationship over the years we have been going. Rob and Isabel [from Club Europe] were very helpful. Our pre-tour experience was very smooth.

"They were professional and approachable and the trip was well run."

Paul Faulkner, Hornsby House School, London on his trip to the battlefields earlier this year.
