The Opal Coast is an ideal school trip destination, combining excellent opportunities to learn about WWII, as well as the chance to immerse your students in another culture and language. Visit the site of the Battle of the Somme on your school trip to the Opal Coast, giving your students the chance to come to terms with what they read about in their history textbooks, standing on the soil where the conflict took place. Your group can reflect on the past and relate it to the present, visiting the cemeteries filled with the graves of British servicemen and women.
