Ypres & Flanders Fields

Three nights at Flanders Lodge, with breakfast and an evening meal each day, give you a comfortable base for exploring the Ypres Salient, the part of Belgium where so much of the First World War was fought. This is a thoughtful, moving break, ideal for anyone with a family connection to the war or an interest in history.

In Ypres we include entry to the In Flanders Fields Museum, housed in the rebuilt Cloth Hall, and a visit to the Menin Gate, the memorial inscribed with the names of thousands of Commonwealth soldiers who have no known grave. The next day we visit Passchendaele, with entry included, and Tyne Cot, the largest Commonwealth war graves cemetery in the world.

You will have time in the evenings to enjoy Ypres itself, with its restored market square, cafes and Belgian chocolate shops. We travel via the Channel crossing, and your driver looks after everything en route.
