This is a must visit place.The only US cemetery in the UK, and it is stunning. The chapel is gorgeous, plus it displays the theatres of war and the amount of missions by air.Graves are immaculate, and the wall of the missing is rather long.Visitors centre is also worth a visit and really interesting.

Such a gorgeous cemetery for the fallen. Quite amazing how immaculate it’s kept. It’s well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The visitors centre is fantastic too, so many amazing stories.

Like all ABMC cemeteries, Cambridge was meticulously kept and honors our fallen heroes with grace and compassion. The visitor center was well done and very informative, even to someone with extensive knowledge of WWII. Many thanks to those who keep the grounds and share the stories of our soldiers.

An extraordinary place to visit, so beautiful and yet so sad. So many young lives recorded by headstones and names carved into a wall. There is also an excellent museum on site telling the story of many of the people whose names are remembered here. Free parking and level access.

Beautiful cemetery and memorial to keep our fallen hero’s memory alive and their souls cherished. Easy bus ride from the train station. The chapel was beautiful. Grounds kept immaculate. The memorial wall was remarkable. I also really enjoyed the visitor center. Powerful. My only slight suggestion is not to power wash during visiting hours. It was very noisy and in front of the beautiful chapel and reflection ponds.

A truly humbling place to visit. A place where over 3,800 American service personnel are buried, a further 5,127 names are listed on the wall of the missing. The entire site in immaculately maintained and is a fitting tribute to those buried, or commemorated, here.

A very beautiful and peaceful place to visit. I came with my friend and we hopped off the tour bus to arrive. We had a good walk around and felt very humbled seeing all those men and women that died for our liberty. I saw JFK’s brother’s name on the wall of the missing, and said a prayer for him.

This cemetery was very beautiful, I felt very emotional reading about how amazingly brave the soldiers were in the war. I felt it was insensitive to take pictures of the crosses themselves so i only took pictures of a few of the lovely decorations. The place is very well looked after as it should be. It's a perfect place to remember those who fought and lost their lives for their country

Visited England from the states and this was a must stop visit. A very well maintained cemetery and quiet place. It really makes you reflect on the sacrifice these men and women payed to protect our freedom. They will never be forgotten. May their souls rest in peace
