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.

Monument commemorating the capture of the villages of Beaumont and Hamel on November 13, 1916, by the Scottish Highlanders of the 51st Division. The monument overlooks Ravine Y and depicts a kilted soldier looking toward the former German lines. On its base, an inscription in English and Gaelic reads: "It is good to have friends on the day of battle."

Nice path. Not necessarily suitable for cycling. Not very wide with barbed wire on either side, grassy...
