This has been on the Bucket List since I first read about it a few years back. As you travel towards the village you see the inland nature reserve & then a car park with the Sherman Tank that was extracted from the sea by Ken and placed here as a memorial to all the lives lost on that fateful day in Apr 1944 that should have been a practice for D-Day. Very moving indeed because as you venture across the road you see the wide open sandy beach which was so peaceful on our visit & it’s hard to imagine why lives were lost . I understand there is a 2nd tank on the other end of the beach.

The centre is at the end of the quay, so is in a good location to catch visitors. It is quite quirky in terms of its design. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it offers all the usual visitor information that you would expect, plus some gifts.
