D-Day Landing Beaches
Memorial routes across the five beaches, the batteries, the cemeteries and the major Battle of Normandy museums.
The Road to Liberty — Airborne Sector
A journey through the Norman bocage to the symbolic sites of the American airborne operation: Sainte-Mère-Église, Utah Beach and Pointe du Hoc.
The American Sector
A memorial itinerary centred on Omaha Beach, the Normandy American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, and Pointe du Hoc.
British & Canadian Sector
A coastal journey following the advance of British and Canadian troops from Ouistreham to Courseulles-sur-Mer.
Memorials & Major Museums
An itinerary to grasp the wider scale of the conflict, from the Caen Memorial to the Atlantic Wall batteries.
Atlantic Wall Batteries
A route devoted to the German defences: the twin batteries of Azeville and Crisbecq, long-forgotten Maisy, Longues-sur-Mer with its original guns, Merville stormed at dawn on 6 June, and the Grand Bunker at Ouistreham.
Cemeteries & the Memory of Nations
A contemplative route linking the American cemetery at Colleville, the German cemetery at La Cambe, the British cemetery at Bayeux, the Canadian cemetery at Bény-sur-Mer and the Polish cemetery at Grainville-Langannerie.
The Bocage & the End of the Battle
Beyond the beaches, the summer of 1944 in the bocage: bitterly contested Hill 112, Ardenne Abbey, the fighting at Tilly-sur-Seulles and the outcome at the Montormel memorial above the corridor of death.
The Essential Museums
A museum circuit from west to east: the Airborne Museum at Sainte-Mère-Église, the Utah Beach museum, the Overlord Museum, the Arromanches 360 circular cinema, the Juno Beach Centre and the Pegasus Memorial.
Lesser-Known Sites of the Cotentin
An off-the-beaten-track route: the La Fière causeway and its Iron Mike statue, the church-hospital of Angoville-au-Plain, the Graignes memorial, Dead Man's Corner, the Écausseville airship hangar and the Douvres radar station.
