Discover how the men of the RAF won perhaps this country’s
most important battle of the 20th century at the exciting Battle of Britain
Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne, just outside Folkestone.
The Memorial, high on Kent’s famous White Cliffs and
offering stunning views of the coast of France, combines quiet reflection with
a fun-packed, hands-on visitor experience.
The Wing, built in the shape of a Spitfire wing, houses the
Scramble Experience, an interactive, multi-media display that brings to life
the events of 1940.
Along with the National Memorial to the Few, a poignant carving
of an airman looking out to sea, the site is home to the Christopher
Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, which lists those who took part in the Battle,
together with a replica Hurricane and Spitfire. (Site free, small charge for parking and
Scramble Experience).
