British Normandy Memorial
Mémorial britannique de Normandie
A memorial park completed in 2021, its stone pillars inscribed with the names of more than 22,000 British dead from D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.
The British Normandy Memorial stands on a hillside at Ver-sur-Mer overlooking Gold Beach and was completed in 2021. The memorial park is formed by a colonnade of 160 stone pillars, each inscribed with the names of the more than 22,000 British soldiers and the men under their command who died between 6 June and the end of August 1944 in the Battle of Normandy. At the centre is a bronze sculpture of three soldiers charging forward, facing the sea. Admission is free, and there is a visitor centre and café nearby. It is about 15 km from Bayeux and can be combined with a visit to Arromanches.
