A well maintained memorial to Louis Blériot's successful flight across the channel in 1909, situated at the place he landed. There's some seating and an information board, though no other facilities. It's only a few minutes walk from the free parking area below Dover Castle.

Great place to stop at on the walk between the White cliffs and Dover castle.
Really cool bit of aviation history

Absolutely stunning hike to the Bleriot Memorial! The trail offers breathtaking views along the way, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. The memorial itself is a fascinating piece of history, and the surrounding landscape adds to its charm. Highly recommend for both history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts!

Fantastic quiet walk in the beautiful woods. You can get lost in the woods and always seem to find new spots to admire.

Floor plaque for Bleriot where he landed his plane after crossing the channel. Its located in the Dover castle overflow car park behind the castle. Nothing there apart for a information board and a seating area.

The memorial is well presented but the surrounding area is completely overgrown(and different from when Bleriot flew in, so you cannot see the relative location of the site). The footpath to the memorial was blocked by a fallen tree which we picked our way round. When we visited the car parking was nearly all blocked by a film crew's marquees etc. The information provided about Bleriot is interesting.

Quite difficult to find from the road and the memorial is small but nice. The car park is quite big with a good view of Dover Castle

Hard to imagine that his aeroplane did not roll down the hill those of you interested in other aviation sites . Understand that the brick building bellow here in Marine Parade use to house the RNAS airship. from the first world war .

Nice quiet place to sit and take a brake. Stone memorial of Louis Blériot's crash landing after he successfully flew over the English Channel.

More a woodland walk than a museum, but a lovely and tranquil place. The memorial is small but interesting. The main reason to come here is on a hot sunny day when you want some fresh air and plenty of shade. There's loads of parking and it's only busy when Dover Castle has an event on and they use it for overflow parking. Otherwise it's nice and quiet and you can wander around, appreciate nature and just relax. It's not a big place, so you won't be here that long, but it's a nice way to spend the time.
