The National Memorial to the Few at Capel-le-Ferne, on the famous white cliffs between Dover and Folkestone in Kent, occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of all those who have visited this moving site.
Open as follows:
1 March to 31 May, 10am – 5pm
1 June to 30 September, 10am – 6pm
1 October to 28 February, 10am – 4pm BUT there is access to the site 24/7
NOTE: Cache is NOT on the site.
The Memorial itself inspires quiet reflection on the bravery and sacrifice shown by the aircrew – fewer than 3,000 men – who flew, fought and sometimes died in probably the most crucial battle fought by this country in the whole of the 20th century.
The Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall lists the names of all those who took part in the Battle of Britain, while a replica Spitfire and Hurricane stand nearby as a reminder of the iconic machines they flew to victory.
After being opened by Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh in March 2015, our iconic new Wing building is also helping visitors find out more about the Battle.
