I thought of driving up to three hours by car to the WWI battle of the Somme site, which isn't bad. There are lots of trenches but many of them are underground and, I think, on private property so you might not be able to get into them. Some of the underground trenches are dangerous because of unexploded explosives that still exist. Anyone gone to this location?

The Somme is a pretty big, there are 100's of things to see there.
Preserved trenches at Beaumont-Hamel are above ground.
I would recommend Major and Mrs Holt's Concise, Illustrated Battlefield Guide to The Western Front - South.
