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.

However, such a war memorial, which one encounters far too often on the road - in cities as well as in small villages - is always, regardless of nationality, language and name, a testimony - still significant and relevant today - to the horror of war and tyranny. Each of these testimonies therefore has two essential functions, and this is always new for each generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind people to keep the peace
