Josh, the Western Front Association (WFA) is a national group dedicated to preserving and commemorating the Great War and the memory of the fallen.
I've been a member for many years and attend the monthly meetings of the North Staffordshire branch. The meetings usually consist of a speaker on a specific subject such as trench warfare, naval activities, munitions etc etc - in fact a great variety of subjects. The cost of membership is minimal and I find it very rewarding.
These are the links:

There is a branch covering Devon and Cornwall.

The beauty of the Somme battlefields is that the topography has barely changed in 100 years with a lot to see and explore. The Ypres Salient and other areas have suffered from development over the century hence my preference for the Somme.
Hope this helps.
