Tour the Western Front battlefields with specialists

Welcome to our Western Front Footsteps website. We are in our fifth year of running a tour to the First World War battlefields.

We offer a four-day coach trip with our friends at Bakers Dolphin to the battlefields of France and Flanders every September/October which follows in the footsteps of West Country soldiers. The group visits sites of special importance to local men and communities and we aim to trace as many individual stories as possible, enabling our guests to walk in their relative’s footsteps.

In 2023 we will have a day focussing on the tunnellers’ war, exploring incredible tales of bravery and engineering from deep below No Man’s Land.  We’ll also tell the story of the League of Help and how Bristol ‘adopted’ Bethune in the 1920s.

Full details of our 2023 tour are given on this page.
