The size and depth of the crater - 300ft in diameter and 70 ft deep - is truly breathtaking and a sobering reminder of the devastation of war. The memorial to those who fell on all sides of the conflict is a poignant reminder of them and the families they left behind

As you arrive here there is nothing but peaceful rolling hills and farmland. A short stroll brings you to a mind numbing huge crater. If you were uninformed you would think that a meteorite had crashed here. It is hard to believe that it was caused by a bomb. I can't imagine the horror that must have been felt by the brave men that fought here.

Like all site in the somme area. Each tell there own story. This is a must visit just for the shear scale

Don't be tempted to think "it's just a crater". It is HUGE, and there's a remarkable story to be told and remembered here. A sobering place.

This crater stands in honour of thousands who died when 27 tons of TNT were set off here during WW1. Unbelievably tragic!

Well what can I say about a hole in the ground? it's incredible that it's man made, looks like a meteor strike. If your in the area and interested in WWI history then take a visit, also nearby is a British run Tea Shop.

Views from the site across fields filled with poppies are breathtaking. Walk at the edge of the fields and you'll find small relics of the battle. Cartridges, barbed wire, shell casings.

Visiting 'Le grand mine' allows the visitor to experience a contrast to the more formal memorials and cemeteries of the Somme region, and allows a different perspective of the battlefield. The crater itself was created by British miners and demonstrates the sheer power of this tactic. The facilities are fairly limited with restricted parking, however there is information explaining the site and a well maintained boardwalk which allows you to walk around the crater and appreciate it's size. The entry is free and there are no toilet/refreshment facilities. Visit recommended.

This is a huge crater formed by the explosion of a British tunnelled mine, which exploded at 07:28 on the 1st July 1916. In our group many photographs were taken but everyone said that no photograph did justice to the enormous crater caused by the explosion of 28,000 kg of explosives.The sound of the explosion was heard in London.It is the most visited site in the area and is not to be missed off your itinerary.

a brilliant and slightly different twist to the usual museums of the area. its good this has been preserved as a reminder that not all casualties were soldiers - miners were heavily involved as well.
