Hi All
Happy New Year.
My wife and I are travelling to the UK, stopping in London for 7 days then driving up to Scotland, down to Wales then back to London - about 35 days in all.
While in London the first time, I want to visit Heath Cemetary in Harbonnieres France. I want to do it in a day then back to London. The reason for the visit is to see my great uncle's grave. He died in the first world war. looking at spending a short time at the cemetery. My wife thinks its a waste of time and money - but I may never be back again. I think I will be the only family member to visit his grave after he died.
Can anyone tell me the best way to navigate the trip and any advice about travelling in France.
I have looked at rail from St Pancras International to Lille Europe then hire car or taxi to Harbonnieres. I'm an Australian so was not looking forward to driving a hire car (Fiat 500) on the left side of the road to Heath cemetery. Thats why I looked at a taxi from Lille to Heath cemetery. With the taxi I would have to keep the taxi with me for the return trip and the extra cost there if the driver waited.
Are there any ride share business or independent people that want to make money driving tourists around. Any tips on my planned trip would be most helpful.
Thanks everyone.
Paul
