What a fitting tribute to our fallen comrades in the heart of Cambridgeshire.. only found out about this cemetery due to a plaque at all hallows in Kent where a bomber from its first mission crashed into the Thames estuary.. took some pictures, said a prayer and cried.. they gave their tomorrow's for our todays..may they rest in peace x

This is such a moving place to come. It takes your breath away when you see the number of graves and then realise that there is a wall for the missing which has so many names on it.The chapel is stunning and the artwork amazing.The facilities are very clean.If you come here to watch the flag being raised you won't be able to get inside to see it, but you can watch from the outside. Unfortunately we missed it as we didn't realise this!!!

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

This is a beautiful memorial to the fallen in WW2. The work that has been done in this place is breathtaking. As a historian, it is an interesting place to visit and learn.

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.

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

A tranquil but powerful place. The unique spectacle makes me feeling like floating in the sea of history. Among a lot of reflections come out after the visit, the stronger part comes from those heroes' families or the one who loves them. History always means one or several generations. But for most individuals, it seems no meaning at all. The only option is to be coerced.

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.
