By 1910, there were no significant trenches dug across Northern France as World War I had not yet begun; the extensive trench networks characteristic of the war were developed mainly between 1914 and 1918. By the end of the war, approximately 2,000 miles of trenches were established on the Western Front, particularly in Northern France and Belgium.
The Front.
Trenches in WWI extended about 400 miles.
World War I trenches varied in size, but they were typically around 6 to 8 feet deep and about 3 to 6 feet wide. The length of trench systems could extend for miles, with some front-line trenches stretching several hundred miles across the Western Front. These trenches were designed to accommodate soldiers, equipment, and supplies while providing some protection from enemy fire. Their construction often included firing steps, dugouts, and communication trenches for movement and logistics.
Not exclusively. The British Army always held the northernmost end of the Allied line in France, and at the extreme northern end a tiny slice of Belgium. The British generally held from 50-70 miles of the trenches, which were in the part of France called Flanders. So just about all British troops killed in the war died in some part of Flanders.
I would say mostly in France. France was practically in ruins after the Germans left, and the Germans' main goal (Schiefflen Plan) was to hold off Russia (Not hard since they were also fighting a civil war) long enough to destroy France. The Germans fought until they were about 50 miles from Paris, then they were defeated in the Second Battle of the Marne (turning point for WWI actually). The war was fought in many places, indeed, but I would think France was the main battleground. -K --- WWI was fought in many places, including African colonies, Sinai-Palestine, France, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) and Samoa (in the Pacific, then a German colony). World War One was fought as trench warfare the trenches stretched right across the German fronts. from belgium down to Switzerland and across the eastern front. these trenches were such good defensive posts that a 4 year stalemate broke out on the western front this ultimately was where the war was won in 1918. in summary, most of the fighting took place around the borders of the central powers in Europe
The distance from Falmouth, Cornwall, England, to France varies depending on the specific location in France. However, the closest point in France is approximately 150 miles (240 kilometers) across the English Channel. For example, the distance to the northern coast of France, such as to Cherbourg, is about 150 miles.
The Front.
World War I trenches stretched approximately 25,000 miles (about 40,000 kilometers) across the Western Front. These extensive networks included front-line trenches, support trenches, and communication trenches, designed to protect soldiers and facilitate movement. The trench systems were crucial to the static nature of the war, contributing to the prolonged stalemate between opposing forces.
1000 miles
From Calais,France to Dover,England, its around 26 miles.

The Huang He, or Yellow River.
the trenches were not easy to build simply because it took months and months to dig and lay it all out because they wanted the trenches to go for miles and miles on end. >.<
21 miles, or 34 kilometers. This is at the shortest point across.

The battlefields of the Western Front are located along a 450 mile stretch and run across many different types of ground. The northern end of the front began on the sandy dunes of the Belgian coast. It continued south through northern France then east through the provinces of Lorraine and Alsace, both then occupied by Imperial Germany, finally terminating on the Swiss border in the south.Hope it helps! :)Source:http://www.greatwar.co.uk/places/ww1-western-front.htm
