Tips from the Community

Oliver🌍
June 4, 2026, Hotton War Cemetery

The British Expeditionary Force was involved in the later stages of the defence of Belgium following the German invasion in May 1940, and suffered many casualties in covering the withdrawal to Dunkirk. Commonwealth forces did not return until September 1944, but in the intervening years, many airmen were shot down or crashed in raids on strategic objectives in Belgium, or while returning from missions over Germany. The village of Hotton was the western limit of the great German counter offensive in the Ardennes in January 1945. A great many of the burials in Hotton War Cemetery date from that time, although there are also some from May 1940. The cemetery contains 666 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 21 of them unidentified.

This picnic area, located on the banks of the Ourthe River, offers a bucolic, rural setting for a peaceful break. The location is ideal for enjoying the typical Ardennes landscape.

Nice to explore the cave. Beautiful spot. After visiting the cave you continue your walk via a very steep descent.

Always interesting to walk around the cemetery and take a look at the fallen from 39-45 at the Hotton War Cemetery

In this peaceful place lie many soldiers who fell during the Battle of the Bulge which took place during the winter of 1944-1945. There are 666 graves there, the vast majority of them British.
