Over three or four days, we will visit many of the evocative and sometimes

emotional sites that stand as a reminder of the human cost and horror experienced

by those young Allied soldiers so many years ago.

You’ll receive CB commentary as we drive along a mixture of tracks and roads,

giving you an insight from a different perspective of this famous battle, traveling in a

small convoy of a maximum of 6 vehicles.

Using the highly rated Novotel in Bayeux just a short drive from the edge of Gold

Beach, you will experience the same sand and tides that bore witness to horrific

casualties on the first day of the invasion, but gave the allies a foothold on the

European mainland. We will travel along the invasion front keeping away from the

routes used by those who are unable to venture further than the roadside. We will

see the side of Normandy that has changed little since the advancing soldiers made

their way across and through the lanes and farmland. From the high cliffs and gun

emplacements at Pointe Du Hoc, past the remains of German gun batteries to the

long shallow beaches, such as Arromanches which still have the remains of the

Mulberry Harbours sitting on the sand we will visit many of the evocative and

sometimes emotional sites that now show little sign of the horror experienced by

those young Allied soldiers so many years ago.
