"The largest crater ever made by man in anger"

August 1993
Once a scene of untold courage,
suffering and sacrifice

- Richard Dunning
The whole earth heaved and flared.
There was an ear-splitting roar.
The earth column rose higher and higher.

Its presence remains a massive scar
on the face of the battlefield
- a poignant and powerful symbol of
the unique horrors of that war.

- Richard Dunning

The Lochnagar Crater is privately owned, having been purchased
by Richard Dunning on July 1st 1978.

The aim is to preserve the site and create a unique Garden of Remembrance
to commemorate the gallant men and women of all nations who suffered
in the Great War.


No profit has, nor ever will be made from Lochnagar.


Its upkeep is not funded by any government or official organisation.


With a diameter of approximately 300ft (91 metres)and a depth of 70ft (21 metres) it remains the largest crater ever made by man in anger.


It is supported by the Friends of Lochnagar who give generously of their time,
effort and money to help maintain it.


Each year on the anniversary a Remembrance Ceremony
is held there.


Thank you for your interest in the Lochnagar Crater.

Thank you.

THE FRIENDS OF LOCHNAGAR GREATLY APPRECIATE THE CONTINUED SUPPORT OF THE
