WALKING HOLIDAYS IN BELGIUM
Our holidays in Belgium focus on the WWI battlefields around Ypres. Once a bustling centre of industry ranking alongside Bruges and Ghent, it faced near annihilation in the so-called war to end all wars and saw some of the fiercest battles in military history. Fast forward to today and its now known as the City of Peace and serves as a poignant memorial to those who served in The Great War.
