More information on American Military Cemetery

This is a memorial devoted to the ultimate sacrifice made by so many American servicemen and women during the Second World War. The grassy hillside is an army of 3,812 tombstones, and the Wall of the Missing lists the names of some 5,000 more soldiers buried in unknown graves. From the entrance by the flagpole, follow the gravel path alongside the rectangular lily ponds to the memorial chapel, fronted by five pillars. Outside and in, wall maps chart the Allies' progress. The cemetery is on the Guide Friday bus tours route. Admission: free.

Traveler Photos of Cambridge

King's College, Cambridge Great scenery. We spotted this house on the way to Cambridge.  Cute. The mathematic bridge. Newton constructed it without using bolts supposedly. So then students took it apart to see how it works, couldn't quite figure it out, and now it's bolted.
