Beautifully looked after cemetery with little notes at many graves from family members which give a personal nature to the cemetery

As no doubt all of these cemeteries are. Row after row of beautifully kept white gravestones. Many many so young. Many many unknown. So sad and moving. A good experience and brings home just how much people gave and suffered for the sake of others. We are so grateful

We visited this cemetery with the intention of finding this soldier's grave. His grave is in the adjacent churchyard and not with the war graves.Indeed a beautiful and tranquil place. I recommend a meal or snack at the cafe next door to the small Carrefour in the village of Ranville.

This was the first cemetary we visited, early in the morning, very peaceful as it should be. A fitting resting place for those brave men

Mixed emotions, pride but also a realization that these were just ordinary men with all the human traits who combined to achieve momentous things to put an end to evil. At an age when most of us were wrapped up in our own petty concerns they gave their lives as our young men are still doing. Double your efforts to make sure that all future sacrifices are worthy of their name and make their sacrifice meaningful. A quiet serene place of reflection.

My sister and I, and our husbands, traveled to Ranville War Cemetery to see our uncle's grave. He was killed there in July 1944 and, sadly, no other family members had ever been able to visit. Even without a relative to honor, the impact of this immaculately kept, quiet place is well worth a visit. The ceremony being performed by school children while we were there only added to our experience. A visit to the church adjacent to the cemetery is also well worth your time.

I found visiting the Ranville War Cemetery a very moving experience. It was very well tended, immaculate grass.

The first war cemetery I ever visited. There is no way you should be able to walk into a cemetery surrounded by a 3ft wall and have all noise cease...but you do. Beautifully kept, and haunting when you read the headstones. Gratitude and sorrow in equal measure.
