American War Cemetary

This simple and moving cemetary is the final resting place for Americans killed in World War II while serving in the UK. The site of 30 acres was donated by the University of Cambridge. Over 3800 Americans are buried here, and the Wall of the Missing at the entrance lists the names of over 5000 more whose bodies were never recovered or identified. There is a small chapel on the site.

American War Cemetary is open daily in the summer from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and in the winter from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
