With stops at places like Tyne Cot Cemetery and the chance to discover World War I relics known as the “Iron Harvest,” this cultural tour is perfect for history buffs.

Your World War I tour starts at Essex Farm Cemetery where your knowledgeable guide will give a detailed history of this cemetery, including the dressing station it was built next to and the inhabitants among the crypts of 1,204 soldiers buried on site. Discover the headstones of brave soldiers like Thomas Barrat and the Flanders Fields war poem etched on a monument in honor of the soldiers that lost their lives during the war. Next, head to the Yorkshire Trench to explore a preserved system of trenches for a first-hand look of where soldiers took refuge while defending themselves against enemy forces.
