    Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the end of World War Two, My Guide Britain has put together a special itinerary touring the many World War Two sites of the ‘Home Front’ from London to the south coast and East Anglia.

    With this itinerary you can combine some of England’s most famous attractions with those more dedicated to WWII. Staying in London for a few days you can visit some of the capitals must see attractions like Buckingham Palace, the Tower and the West End as well as the Cenotaph, the national monument to all Britain’s war dead close to 10 Downing Street in Whitehall. Also in Whitehall are Winston Churchill’s secret Cabinet War Rooms, a warren of cellars from where Churchill fought the war. Take a trip down the Thames to board HMS Belfast, a light cruiser from WWII, whose 16 guns saw action during the Normandy Landings. Visit the Imperial War Museum with moving exhibitions on life during the war years and a special exhibition commemorating the 60th Anniversary of end of World War Two.

    Outside of London close to the famous university town of Cambridge, is Duxford’s Imperial War Museum. Formerly a WWII airbase for the USAF, this is now an excellent heritage site and an American Air Museum with exhibitions of combat aircraft including a B-17 Flying Fortress and Spitfires and regular Air Shows.

    From Cambridge you could drive Dover, via Chatham Naval Base, the cradle of British sea power since the 16th Century where some 500 ships were built and Canterbury, the ecclesiastical capital of England, with its 12th Century Cathedral, famed in Chaucer’s ‘A Canterbury Tale’.

    Overlooking the famous White Cliffs of Dover stands Dover Castle, a formidable 12th Century fortress with a warren of underground tunnels and chambers. These Underground Works were a key command centre during the Second World War and were where the evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940, was directed. From Dover you can take the coast road through the South Downs stopping off at quaint and historic towns such as Rye and Hastings and the Georgian seaside resort of Brighton before finishing in Winchester to explore this Ancient capital of England.

    Just a few miles from Winchester is the traditional home of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth. This port was a major departure point for Allied forces on D-Day and the D-Day museum recounts the story of the Normandy Landings. Portsmouth boasts a wealth of Naval Heritage. Visitors can climb aboard Lord Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar the HMS Victory, examine the remains of the Mary Rose, built in 1509 for King Henry VIII, wander around the decks of the Victorian steam powered battleship HMS Warrior and submerse yourself in the HMS Alliance Royal Navy Submarine.
