Excellent Naval Memorial as a poignant reminder for all the lives lost at sea in the two World War's;also memorial wall has all the names of those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we all enjoy today.Information on board.However the memorial gates are padlocked.Great views over Chatham from memorial as well as info throughout the Great Lines Park Area on the map referring to this Memorial and other useful sites around park area.Many footpaths leading up to the Memorial and going in different directions covering Chatham,Gillingham and surrounding areas.

Got to the gate, saw it was locked, asked the security guard who was inside if I could be let in, because the sign said it was open for another few hours, came to see my grandfather's plaque, but just got told to f off, p-iss off and every inbetween. Asked me if I was on something when i stepped back to at least get some photos after traveling from the other side of the world and spending 25 quid on a train ticket from London.. Idk man just a bit disappointed

I initially thought you couldn't go inside the grounds, as there is a high wall surrounding the outside. When I eventually found the large gates it looked as though they were locked shut, but they were not. So don't be afraid to push the gates open and go through into the grounds. It's only a short walk from nearby Fort Amherst, and it's free to wonder around their grounds, which I highly recommend. (You can also book a guided tour through the tunnels).

Imposing memorial situated on high ground overlooking Chatham, commemorating its naval soldiers lost in the two world wars. The memorial is one of three of its type, the others being in Portsmouth and Plymouth. The security gates were unlocked when I visited on a Tuesday morning, so it was possible to look inside the memorial. A thought provoking experience seeing the scale of the memorial and the names commemorated on its walls.

Nice well kept memorials for the naval seamen who lost their lives in the wars . Interesting read on the plaques of what and who they were. Worth a visit from a historical point of view. Free entrance and a little free car park very close by .
