Battlefields

Embry Map 06 - Retro Style IV

Click on the map's Magnifying Glass to enlarge... Or CLICK HERE for an even larger (and clearer) PDF.

 

Embry is ideally located for those people who want a central base from which they can make forays to the numerous battlefields, bunkers and fortifications in Pas de Calais, Belgium/Flanders, Kent and even further afield. Some trips might best be overnighters, though it is possible to drive to and from all individual destinations within the Pas de Calais region in one day.

The list here is by no means exhaustive, but we HAVE thrown a few Museums and other general places of interest into the "Battlefields" mix.

The following are direct links to web pages on this site relating to those places highlighted on the map above above:

  • Arras / Vimy Ridge
  • Azincourt
  • Battle of Britain Memorial
  • Blockhaus d'Éperlecques
  • Battle of Cambrai #
  • Crécy
  • Diksmuide #
  • Dover Castle
  • Dunkerque
  • Hastings / Battle # (and Bayeau)
  • La Coupole V2 Launch site & Planetarium
  • Mimoyecques V3 Rocket Base
  • Passchendaele #
  • RAF Manston Spitfire and Hurricane Museum
  • Ramsgate Tunnels (To be re-opened in June 2014)
  • The Atlantic Wall (Including Cap Gris Nez, Cap Blanc Nez and Batterie Todt)
  • The Landing Beaches (and Cherbourg & Caen) *
  • The Somme #
  • Verdun *
  • Waterloo #
  • Ypres (Iepers)#

* Definitely more than a Return-Day-Trip
# Ideally an overnighter

Geoff and Annette are NOT Tour- Guides or Experts!

That said, after 10 years of taking friends and family around most of the places mentioned on these pages, we HAVE become pretty familiar with the area and the local History.

We are more than happy to arrange for Private Tours, facilitate visits, book hotels, give recommendations...

If you'd like us to prepare an itinerary for you, just ask!

And for those people not confident with driving on the "wrong" side of the road (or wary of some of the more obscure French road-rules), we're happy to do pick-ups and drop-offs as / if needed.
