What To Expect
Musee Somme 1916
A visit to the Somme 1916 Museum is a must for anyone exploring this area. The museum is located underground in a tunnel dating from the 10th century.

Lochnagar Crater
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.
