School Trips - WW1 Battlefields

Inspired Travel

Covid-19

We have put COVID 19 measures in place for the health and safety of our groups and are also offering increased flexibility for deposits, cancellations and postponements. Check out our website for more details.

Any trip to the battlefields is a poignant and thought-provoking experience. At Inspired Travel we aim to offer well-designed and inspiring learning experiences for our groups, be they large or small in number.

Our itineraries are bespoke and tailored to an individual group; nothing is "off the shelf" although some follow common themes. As such your itinerary is as individual to you as it is to us and we are happy to try to accommodate all requirements.

Why should you consider Inspired Travel for School Trips and Educational Visits?

As the new National curriculum is rolled out, Inspired Travel is aware of the responsibility to ensure the significance of the actions and sacrifices for many - a conflict that changed Europe - lives on.

Of course the possible visits are numerous, depending upon the emphasis of the trip. We can include visits to locations where local battalions participated, research student ancestors, enjoy a guided tour with a Battlefield Guide.
