Holy Trinity Garrison Church

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

Sadly the Windsor Garrison no longer uses this church, but it remains a shrine to the British Army with standards everywhere and the balcony fascia completely covered with memorials to various military campaigns. I was fortunate to visit on the day before Remembrance Sunday, so it was full of volunteers cleaning the interior and setting up for the following day’s service. I was able to have a fascinating talk with the vicar about the history of the church, which was initially funded by a donation by Queen Victoria. Prince Albert had a significant influence over its design and there’s a life sized statue of him in the entrance lobby. The magnificent interior is very definitely Victorian, but distinctly lighter and brighter than in many other churches of that era.

The Chattri

Reviewed By 182julieo - Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

Parking at Braypool Lane off the A23/A27 roundabout, you can walk up the hill, maybe half a mile, to the Chattri. The Chattri is a memorial to Hindu soldiers who died of their wounds in Brighton Pavilion, which was turned into a hospital in WWII. The Chattri is situated in a small memorial garden with benches and is a beautiful peaceful spot. From a distance, the Chattri looks like a white folly on the downs and on a clear day the views of the surrounding countryside and looking South to the city of Brighton are wonderful. After visiting the Chattri, you can continue up the hill, and on your left, in the distance, you will see two windmills, Jack and Jill. It is possible to walk to the Windmills, where there is another lovely view over the Sussex countryside, including Clayton and Burgess Hill. Jill Windmill is open to the public on some Sundays during the year.

Barnes Wallis Statue

Reviewed By hawkes2an - Cranbrook, United Kingdom

Situated at the far end of the Herne Bay promenade (you drive past it when you enter from the Thanet Way) is a fitting tribute to a genius. The statue of Banes Wallis stands staring out to see as if he is watching the tests of his famous bouncing bomb. These tests were carried out in the waters off Reculver.

RAF Kenley

Reviewed By C5060EKmatthewp - Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

Great "Free" open space on the downs where you can just chill out on bikes, feet, scooters etc with kids or dogs and just enjoy nature and catch some great fresh air. If you want to explore a little there's still quite a few WWII remnants on the periphery of the airfield which will help your imagination to take you back to when this place was a full on RAF station with Spitfires & Hurricanes scrambling to see off the menace of invading Luftwaffe fighters & bombers.
