Perimeter Route North

The perimeter walk largely follows the front line of the Allied bridgehead in September 1944.
More than 11,000 men were involved in the British and Polish airborne landings from 17 September at Wolfhoze, Renkum, Ede and Driel. These soon faced heavy German resistance, which grew in strength and intensity every day. The British therefore lost the initiative.
After heavy fighting on 18 and 19 September it had failed to reach the enclosed torps of Lieutenant Colonel John D. Frost at the bridge in Arnhem, the remnants of the 1st Airborne Division retreated to Oosterbeek on 20 September, where the so-called perimeter as a line of defense. A day later Frost's troops had to retreat to Oosterbeek due to lack of supplies and heavy losses - half of the men had been killed or wounded.
NB! For the entire story around the perimeter you can also walk the southern part of the route.
