The beautiful town of Ypres sits in the epicentre of British WWI endeavours, and there is much to see in the surrounding countryside.

Continuing our journey, we'll visit the German Cemetery at Langemark and Vancouver Corner.
Then, we'll explore the fascinating Hooge Crater Museum – home to a unique collection of WWI artefacts and reconstructed trenches. An evocative end to the day is in store: we've an appointment to keep at the Menin Gate Memorial, where we're invited to attend the Last Post ceremony. Stay: The Albion Hotel (or similar) (B)
