Accessibility 

The land train* runs regularly between February and December and is ideal for first time visitors. The tour, with pre-recorded commentary, takes 50 minutes and is accessible for manual wheelchairs.

As a maturing landscape with natural features it’s worth remembering that certain areas of the grounds may present challenges for those with special access requirements, many memorials for example are on grassed areas.

Our Special Forces Buggy Tours* are the perfect way to ensure you don’t miss out on seeing more of the memorials that are a distance from the Remembrance Centre. Led by expert volunteer guides, these tours take around 40 minutes and allow visitors to see Watersmeet, the Allied Special Forces Memorial Grove and many more.

*Land train and buggy tours are subject to availability and can be booked at the Welcome Desk. Charges apply.
