The memorial at Beaumont-Hamel gives you a moving and realistic idea of what the fighting must have been like, thanks to a remarkably well preserved system of trenches. The park, covering 30 hectares, was inaugurated in 1925. Don't miss the memorial to the 29th Division, to which the Newfoundland regiment belonged (a mound with its statue of a caribou, the emblem of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment

En famille

The Newfoundland Memorial at Beaumont-Hamel, is just 10 min from Albert at the centre of WW1 Remembrance sites. Its remarkably well reserved trench system gives you a realistic idea of what the fighting must have been like. Allow at least 1h30 min. to go round the site (about 30 hectares). As soon as you arrive, take the children onto the mound with its statue of a caribou: there's an impressive panoramic view over the trenches and shell holes. Tip: with very young children, need a baby-carrier.

Entre amis

As you enter the site, take the advice offered by the Canadian volunteers, as the park is immense. Filing through the beautifully preserved trench network you will be immersed in the very heart of the history of the Battle of the Somme! Stick together as you cross no-mans’-land and head for the Danger Tree before pausing at the Visitor Centre to round off your visit to this absolute must on the Remembrance trail.

En amoureux

In the heart of the Somme Battlefields, Newfoundland Park never fails to affect those who visit. So much more than a moving reminder of the terrible battle and the role of the Canadians in the conflict, visitors find themselves faced with the realities of warfare: from the beautifully preserved trench network to no-mans’-land where so many would perish. A place to stand together … or walk hand in hand…

Tips by Arlène

When you first arrive, I recommend going to the top of the little mound with its proud statue of a caribou. The viewpoint diagram will help you get your bearings, have an overall view of the site and see the maze of trenches and the ground pitted with shell holes. Be sure to walk along the many footpaths to see the little cemeteries.
