The Thiepval Visitor Centre
Circuit of Remembrance
Thiepval was one of the main theatres of the Battle of the Somme, where some 1,300,000 persons lost their lives. The Thiepval Memorial was inaugurated in 1932 to commemorate the loss of more than 73,000 Commonwealth soldiers who died without graves. Today it is the most important British war memorial in the world, with over 160,000 visitors each year.

On 27 September 2004, the Historial de la Grande Guerre, the Somme County Council and the Thiepval Project inaugurated the Thiepval Visitor Centre. Intended to inform visitors who wish to learn more about the Battle of the Somme and the Great War, it houses a permanent trilingual exhibition of texts, photos and videos as well as a bookshop.
