FULLY BOOKED : Sunday 2nd - Thursday 6th November 2025.

Photographing the WWI battlefields of northern France offers a poignant glimpse into history, capturing the haunting remnants of a landscape forever altered by conflict. Sites such as the Somme, Vimy Ridge and Ypres reveal a tapestry of war-torn scars that tell the story of bravery, sacrifice, and the relentless horrors of war.

This is a unique opportunity to explore the battlefields with one of the UK's top landscape photographers and a battlefield guide, in a small group of just three clients.

The muted tones of the earth, marked by craters and trenches, combined with the serenity of rolling fields and quiet memorials create a powerful emotion that invites reflection.

Photographing these sites is not merely about documenting their physical features; it is a photographic journey that seeks to honour and convey the profound sense of loss that still lingers in the air. As the photographer explores these significant and historical landscapes, they are struck by the quiet stillness that now envelops them, a stark contrast to the chaos and mayhem that once engulfed the region.

The light filtering through the often somber clouds casts an ethereal glow, enhancing a sense of reverence and remembrance. Each image becomes a narrative, encapsulating not just historical facts but also the stories of the individuals who fought and the families they left behind. By capturing the subtle details of weathered memorials, the flora reclaiming the land, and the remnants of war, photographers document a past that continues to resonate in the present, urging viewers to remember and reflect on the lessons of history amidst the tranquil beauty that time has restored.

An experienced battlefield guide will accompany Jeremy throughout this trip and be on hand to interpret the landscape and battlefields, bringing a sense of understanding to this hallowed ground. WW1 Battlefields of Northern France.
