Battle of Britain Memorial

A unique tribute to the men of the RAF who defeated the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain in 1940. The clifftop memorial, replica Spitfire and Hurricane and Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall provide a calm place of reflection and pilgrimage.

The Wing is a modern, interactive visitor centre and home to The Scramble Experience. High-tech audio-visual displays and hands-on exhibits tell the tale of the Battle of Britain and what life was like for the pilots who defended Britain's skies in the summer of 1940. It is appealing to younger and older visitors to this very special place.

A well-stocked shop featuring signed memorabilia and a first-floor cafe with spectacular views across the Channel to France are also situated at this special place of remembrance.
