Lowestoft Naval Memorial - War Graves Week Tours

War Graves Week is an initiative aimed at encouraging people from the local community to come together and discover the World War heritage on their doorstep – learning about the stories of those commemorated by the CWGC and the skills, dedication and expertise of those CWGC staff and volunteers who work to keep their memory alive.

The Naval Memorial is located to the north of the town alongside the A12 Yarmouth Road, approximately one mile north of the harbour.

The memorial is in a prominent position within a local authority gardens, known as Bellevue Park. The park is on the top of the cliffs and the memorial itself is on the edge of the cliff so providing an unobscured view of the foreshore and sea. Commemorating almost 2,400 men of the Royal Naval Patrol Services who have no grave but the sea.

Around the circular base are arranged bronze panels that bear the names. The panels are set in recesses and protected from the weather by a cornice.

Car parking in the area is restricted and it is best to park in North Parade and enter Bellevue Park by way of the footbridge.

A copy of the Memorial Register is held at The Royal Naval Patrol Service Museum which is located a short distance from the memorial itself.
