Nice monument, close to the parking spaces, you just have to “climbe” a few steps.

Very cool memorial to visit with a nice back story. It's close to the magna Carta site as well so worth visiting as well.

Not a lot to see here. A nice little walk uphill (not long but quite steep for non walkers) through the trees. The memorial is well kept and simple. It’s pleasant but I wouldn’t go out of your way to visit this unless you have a passion for JFK or modern US history. There is a car park close by which is paid (cash and app payments accepted. Attendants there ok some days). A nice little place but I’d suggest it’s only worth it if you tag it onto a visit to see the Magna Carta memorial.

Well worth seeing. An important landmark and a chance to step on American soil. Part of an pleasant area which includes the Magna Carta landmark and a visitor centre.

Charming little stone path with some steep steps up the hill. Easy climb even for the little ones

Fortunately brought my wellingtons as the grass at this time of year was wet and there was some mud. The final path is paved with steps and could be a struggle for people who have difficulties. What you see is what you get. It is a memorial stone. I was here about 40 years ago and 10 years previously and it has blended in to the area though one tree trunk is rather covering one aspect. Worth a visit though I combined it with a trip to the Magna carta memorial, the jurors installation and the RAF memorial

If JFK hadn't been assassinated halfway his term, he probably would have had more scandals than respect. But thanks to the friendship and allied union between Britain and USA, he's been immortalised on American soil thousands of miles from America. Here's the whole acre of land for just one slab. Donated and officially opened by none other than Queen herself while JFK's wife Jacqueline was in attendance.

It's a symbolic gesture because aesthetically there's nothing catchy about this liberty speech carved in stone. As a trade deal and in exchange, British students get a JFK trust scholarship to study at Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) so everybody wins.

Nothing much to see except the memorial stone. Can be little difficult for elderly people to walk on high steps.
