A bit random to find, off a country road. Massive crater. Interesting stories on boards as you walk around. It was basically a failure as a military operation If you can spot the people on the far side you get an idea of size.

A giant explosion crater, detonated by British and French soldiers in World War One to bring down German defense lines. Entrance and parking is free, even though not easy to find.
