D-Day Landings in Normandy

Departure by coach from your local joining point to Portsmouth harbour for the ferry crossing to Ouistreham, before continuing to the Caen area for a three-night stay.

At Juno Beach, visit the Juno Beach Centre which explains the story of the Canadian role in the Battle of Normandy, and at Gold Beach, see where some of the heaviest casualties were suffered by British troops storming the tough defences at Asnelles.

We continue onwards to Arromanches where the Mulberry Harbour was constructed, much of which is still visible at sea. We end the day in Bayeux at the British War Cemetery.
