War Memorial

Overview

The War Memorial is a lovely spot for a family outing, combining a sense of history with some splendid outdoor space. Situated in the picturesque gardens of an estate hotel that was once a school, it's a great place for a leisurely stroll with children and even dogs. The atmosphere is both respectful and relaxed, making it a perfect location to reflect on the sacrifices made by our WW1 soldiers while enjoying the beautiful views of the surrounding fields. Kids will appreciate the open spaces for a bit of running around as well.
