Welcome to Bridgeman & Kent Battlefield Tours
We specialise in creating bespoke battlefield tours for individuals or groups. Whether your battlefield tour is a family pilgrimage, regimental association or veterans visit, group of friends looking for an informative and enjoyable holiday or group or society following up an interest, we can produce the tour to suit you. Our speciality is in putting together itineraries that follow a theme, such as the involvement of a regiment, town, school, county or US and Commonwealth forces in a campaign.
Depending on the size of your group and the venue, you can travel by air, coach, MPV or any combination that is relevant to the tour.
Every tour is unique and the combinations and variations are immense, so in order to give you some guidance we have included some examples of campaigns and battles you may wish to consider.
