A warm welcome awaits at our Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the Somme battlefield area in beautiful rural France.

It may be continuing cold here but the payoff is some beautiful sunset skies. This amazing cloud formation outside our front door last night. Time for a mindful moment . #somme #sommebattlefields #no56somme #sunset #februarysunset

Beautiful autumn light at Blighty Valley Cemetery this evening. Always a place of peace nestled alongside the wood. Where Privates lay alongside 4 Lieutenant Colonels . We know this is a favourite Cemetery for many and walking among the graves listening to birdsong - perfection.

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

And thank you for sharing Percy’s story and effects.

[Ian lyall @Ianlyall9]

Our sons first return in 6 years, and grandsons Fraiser's return to the Somme, only made better with staying @Number56BandB . Thank you so much Julie and David.

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

It’s been wonderful having you here - 3 generations makes a special visit. Well done Ian on organising such a special family trip.

[Ian lyall @Ianlyall9]

Arrived home after a long hot journey from the Somme, and a excellent stay as aways @Number56BandB , thanks so much for making a first visit on the Somme so memory making, for future daughter in law Alice, and grand daughters Millie and Maeve 21/2 and great niece Grace,

Remembering Captain Wallace, 10th Worcestershire Regiment. KIA 108 years ago today. One of The Missing of The Somme. #houstonwallace #bazentin #thiepval #somme #no56somme #memorial

The past couple of days have been glorious weather, but the storm clouds are gathering over Ovillers which will clear the air this evening. Ovillers Military Cemetery looked wonderful on our walk this afternoon. #nature #remembrance #cwgc #no56somme #somme #rememberedhere

@TerryWhenham Roland is just the most wonderful man, each day going off to discover for himself the places his grandfather had been. Sharing stories with us each night. Carrying his grandfather’s photo with him.

Remembering on Anzac Day those who came from the uttermost ends of the earth and still lie in the fields of France. We will remember them. #anzac #anzacday #nzmemorial #longueval #somme #Remembrance

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

Always great to see you Stuart and especially with a local story of a soldier who was here in La Boisselle. Thanks for the Easter eggs too!

[Battlefield Tours @BBTLLP]

Huge thanks to Julie & David of @Number56BandB as always for adding something a little special to our guests tour, and for the amazing packed lunches as always! Huge thanks must also go to our researcher, Phil, who helped make this tour something beyond the normal. #Thankyou

After a wet winter it finally feels like Spring is arriving. It is as if the Somme landscape invites you in to explore it’s contours and secrets. History with every pace. Like these rolling fields taking the eye to Dantzig Alley. Spring sunshine finally warming our souls.

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

Always great to have you here, you’ve done so much, paid respects to so many - and the weather has been pretty kind for February!

[36ulster-division @36ulsterD]

Amazing final day, round Ypres this time, including the Shot at Dawn post in Poperinghe @CWGC @Number56BandB

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

@jbanningww1 The layout remains the same to previous. No roundabout. Work has not been completed on that section other than resurfacing, with no date set for junction alteration completion.

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

Among the glorious late winter colours of nature on our walk today, a very calm herd of deer brought a smile. On The Somme you are never far from seeing nature at its best, alongside the history of course. Ancre Heights, a wonderful place to walk. #nature #somme

[Number56BandB @Number56BandB]

December sky. The battlefields are quiet now and where once there was war, now peace reigns supreme. #somme #sommebattlefields #no56somme #ovillers #ovillersmilitarycemetery #december #sunset #decembersunset #sommetourisme #cwgc
