Free Tours to the Western Front

Poppy Travel the travel branch of the Royal British Legion runs school tours to the Western Front exploring Remembrance and World War One.

The tours are led by specially trained guides and visit memorials, battlefields, cemeteries and museums.

As a charity that is dedicated to ensuring that everyone understands the importance of Remembrance the Royal British Legion has a bursary scheme available for schools that would otherwise not be able to travel.

In February and March 2012 it is offering two free taster tours for teachers to sites in France and Belgium. A one day tour to Ypres, Flanders on Friday 24th February 2012 is available and a two day tour to the Somme area 2nd to 3rd March 2012. Both tours for the purpose of the taster will leave from London. If you would like to find out more or would like to register for a place on either tour contact schools@poppytravel.org.uk.
