Description

Walking the Somme is a comprehensive guide to exploring the battlefields and landscapes of the First World War's most infamous conflict. Paul Reed's in-depth research has resulted in 16 carefully planned walks, including a new route tracing the operations around Mametz Wood.

From Gommecourt to Thiepval, Serre to Beaumont-Hamel, these walks bring you to the sites of intense fighting and the peaceful countryside that now surrounds them. The book also takes you to monuments, cemeteries and villages that make the Somme battlefield a moving place to explore.

With its detailed routes and descriptions, Walking the Somme is an essential companion for anyone visiting the Somme battlefields of 1916.
