Cambrai Battlefield

[Alan Tucker]

Apart from going into Cambrai itself has anyone got any suggestions as to where a coachload could land for a lunchtime snacks, drinks and toilets?

There's a place opposite Anneux Cemetery near Bourlon Wood with room outside for a coach (or two).

It was quiet when we were there so he'll be glad of the custom,

You won't get a coachload in the place at Anneux. I have been in there many times over the years, and used to take small groups in there, but it could not cope with a coach and there not enough seats! Taking coaches to Cambrai we always go into the centre as there is no-where on the battlefield really geared up for coach parties.

Thanks for replies. BTW Paul I now have a photocopy of Arthur Graham on Lt Col James Neville Marshall VC thanks to your tip!

[Paul Reed]

Glad you managed to get that!

If you were in the south of the battlefield there is a "steak-house" at Lateau Wood - but you might want to check it out earlier in the day for enough seating and opening times. Also it s more than a snack.

Again, from the south of the Cambrai battlefield, I have driven down to Peronne before for lunch, visit the museum etc.

Are there any any eats and pee stops north of Cambrai and up towards Valenciennes?

[Graham-McAdam]

Nothing on the motorway. You could pop into Denain for a Carrefour or just wait till Valenciennes where there are plenty of places on the Grande Place. Or go to Auchan in Cambrai, on the road towards Vn.
