The Tour d'Ulster, also known as the Helen Tower or Tour de Belfast, is a British war memorial. It was built in 1921 to commemorate the soldiers of the 36th Ulster Division who died during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. The tower is a replica of a neo-Gothic tower in Clandeboye Park, near Belfast, where the 36th Division trained. An interesting anecdote is that the 36th Ulster Division was the first to attack during the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, but suffered heavy losses from both German and British artillery fire. The division lost over 5,500 men in just a few hours. The Tour d'Ulster has a cafeteria where you can enjoy a cup of tea, scones or Tayto chips, a specialty from Northern Ireland. It is a nice place to relax.

Short but steep climb

Well worth a stop here. Good coffee stop and the chance to visit a WWI dressing station.

Crucifix Corner marks the spot where a destroyed crucifix gave its name to the nearby cemetery of the fierce fighting of the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, April 24-26, 1918, where Australians, British and French stopped the German advance on Amiens.
