After the Second World War it was decided that the naval memorials should be extended to provide space for commemorating the naval dead without graves of that war.Chatham Naval Memorial commemorates 8,517 sailors of the First World War and 10,098 of the Second World War.The tour will last approx. 60 mins and covers about 200 metres. There is wheelchair access but the memorial is on top of a hill.There is limited parking available nearby, car park adjacent to main entrance.
