This short walk takes you to the village of Havrincourt, where you can visit its church, castle and British memorial. As you leave the village, you will be met with beautiful, sweeping landscapes extending all the way to the horizon, where the land eventually meets the sky. So, like a carefree schoolkid bunking off class, allow yourself to wander off the beaten track.

The Hundred Days Offensive (August-November 1918). From August 1918 onwards, a rapid series of Allied victories eventually led to the Armistice: this was the Hundred Days Offensive. For some British soldiers it meant a return to Mons, to the very place where the war had begun for them.

The Hirondelle Trail takes you through the Commonwealth cemeteries, allowing you to explore a region that was completely devastated in 1917. The four villages you will discover along the way also bore witness to the Reconstruction and the “liberated regions” style that is reflected in the area’s rural heritage. The villages were completely destroyed, but let’s not forget the work it took to make this shattered land suitable for farming once again: shell holes, craters, barbed wire, saps, unexploded shells, mines, trenches... 90 years on, this has become one of France’s richest, most productive cereal-growing areas!

This trail takes you to the theatre of the famous Battles of Bullecourt, which took place in April and May 1917. The village changed hands some twenty times over the course of that year. These battles took a terrible toll, with British and Australian casualties numbering 8,893 and 10,771 respectively. More than 10,000 Germans also lost their lives. The 2,249 Australians and 1,875 Brits who were killed at Bullecourt have no known grave. Their names are inscribed on the Australian National Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux and on the British Memorial at Arras. Many still lie buried in the earth of the Artois region. The memory of this battle has been kept alive by the “Digger” statue (the term used by Australians and New Zealanders to refer to a veteran), which was erected in 1992. It was created by Australian sculptor Peter Corlett, the son of a Great War veteran. The Digger’s uniform and insignia symbolise the four Australian infantry divisions who fought here. Since 2010, a French remembrance stele has also commemorated the sacrifice made by the soldiers at Bullecourt. A museum has even been opened at Bullecourt to pay tribute to those lost during these battles.

This circuit lets you explore Bapaume and the village of Ligny-Thilloy as you walk the Lime Tree Trail. This walk allows you to discover natural areas, farmland, the history of the post-war reconstruction of rural and urban landscapes... and learn about the figures, both legendary and real-life, who have left their mark on this place.

The Battle of Cambrai (20th november to 7th december 1917). The Battle of Cambrai was the first offensive in history involving the mass use of tanks, which left behind traces in the region’s subsoil. Folk here say that there are tanks buried in the earth. One man believed this “rural legend” and decided to investigate.
