Lochnagar Crater: Walk the Somme's Massive WW1 Mine Scar
★4.9(642)
Drop into the scale of history at this 100-meter wide blast hole. It’s a sobering look at the 1916 Somme offensive that hits harder than any textbook. Spend 30 minutes walking the perimeter; the silence is heavy. If you’re coming from Paris, the Australian Battlefields full-day tour is worth the cash for the historical context, but just driving out here solo works fine too. Wear proper shoes—the ground gets muddy and uneven near the rim.
Address: Route de la Grande Mine, Ovillers-la-Boisselle, Hauts-de-France, 80300
