About the Challenge

This unique route takes us along the beautiful coastline of Normandy, passing the sites and scenery of the World War II D-Day Landings on Normandy Beaches. This coastal region played a vital part of Operation Overlord, a codename for the WW2 Allied invasion of Normandy, to liberate Europe from years of German military occupation.

Our journey begins in Grandcamp-Maisy, at the foot of the Cherbourg Peninsula, where we head east along the coast. We take in sites of significant military action including Pointe du Hoc, the Mulberry Harbour of Arromanches, and Pegasus Bridge. There are beautiful views across the now-tranquil coastline, but as we walk over varied terrain of dunes, grass and tarmac, it is all-too-easy to imagine events of the past. We pay our respects to the Allies at the Normandy American Cemetery and Juno Beach Memorial. Our route finishes north of Caen at Ranville War Cemetery where we will lay a wreath, a poignant end to an unforgettable journey.
