The Battle of Britain Memorial

The Battle of Britain Memorial, which features the National Memorial to the Few, is a stunning tribute to the heroes of the Battle of Britain set on top of the White Cliffs of Dover at Capel-le-Ferne, just outside Folkestone in Kent. The central Memorial is a statue of a seated airman looking out over the Channel to France, while the site includes the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, which lists the names of the fewer than-3000 men who took part in the Battle, and a replica Hurricane and Spitfire. A new indoor Scramble Experience provides a high-tech, audio-visual introduction to the events of 1940 and the site includes a cafe and well-stocked gift shop. All the attractions, both inside and outside, are accessible to visitors in a wheelchair and there are disabled toilets, reserved disabled parking spaces close to the (automatic) main doors and a lift to the first floor cafe. All our visitors are guaranteed a warm welcome.
