The memorial is well presented but the surrounding area is completely overgrownand different from when Bleriot flew in, so you cannot see the relative location of the site. The footpath to the memorial was blocked by a fallen tree which we picked our way round. When we visited the car parking was nearly all blocked by a film crew's marquees etc. The information provided about Bleriot is interesting.
Floor plaque for Bleriot where he landed his plane after crossing the channel. Its located in the Dover castle overflow car park behind the castle. Nothing there apart for a information board and a seating area.
Nice quiet place to sit and take a brake. Stone memorial of Louis Blériot's crash landing after he successfully flew over the English Channel.
Quite difficult to find from the road and the memorial is small but nice. The car park is quite big with a good view of Dover Castle
Commemorating the first cross -channel flight in 1909
More a woodland walk than a museum, but a lovely and tranquil place. The memorial is small but interesting. The main reason to come here is on a hot sunny day when you want some fresh air and plenty of shade. There's loads of parking and it's only busy when Dover Castle has an event on and they use it for overflow parking. Otherwise it's nice and quiet and you can wander around, appreciate nature and just relax. It's not a big place, so you won't be here that long, but it's a nice way to spend the time.
Hard to imagine that his aeroplane did not roll down the hill those of you interested in other aviation sites . Understand that the brick building bellow here in Marine Parade use to house the RNAS airship. from the first world war .
Historic sight tucked away beneath Dover Castle. Free to enter. Well worth a visit.
Lovely place to see in the start of a walk across the white cliffs of Dover site of the 1st aircraft take off from Dover to France across the English channel
Local parking is a problem, but it's worth making the effort to visit the location of a major event in early aviation history.
