Good to read about this bridge and watch the films but far better to visit , great museum to visit , great to feel the place and some of the heroic acts that took place here , well worth a few hours to soak up actual meaningful history

An accessible attraction to visit - and one of such historical significance. Just beyond the bridge itself is a moving memorial to the troops who bravely captured the bridge.

Do not miss the museum. It is somewhat small, but it is one of the best in the area. The bridge has been kept as well as a glider.

This is a museum dedicated to the British Airborne troops who captures many of the bridges east of Sword Beach on D-Day. The bridge at the museum was purchased by the museum and was named in honor of the Pegasus horse on the patches of the soldiers. There is a nice museum on site, the bridge and a British glider.There are a couple of buildings near the glider that were not that memorable as I can’t recall what was on display inside of them. You need about an hour to take this all in, be sure to take your time walking through the museum. There are some very nice displays. There is parking near the museum at no cost.

If you're on a ww11 history trip kind of holiday then obviously this is going to be on your list of places to go and see. I'm glad I have been. Great cafe and museum nearby. Lots to learn so go for it! Would recommend this!

One of many, many D-Day related museums in this part of France, but this one is vividly brought to life because it so effectively tells its story through human experience and the individual soldiers who were involved. The bond between the museum and those who served is in evidence at all times, and that's the heart of its success, more so than even the bridge itself, the star attraction outside in the memorial gardens. I'd recommend the short journey to Ranville afterwards, where so many who died are buried in the (well signposted) British military cemetery.

Reading of General Howard's assault and the liberation of the area on the simple memorials around the bridge.Worth popping into café/museum standing by the bridge - the first house liberated by the allies' assault.Good to pop in for a few minutes on the way to/from the Caen ferry.

The bridge itself has been replaced and the original is 'in' the nearby museum - outside actually. There is plenty of information at the site and much much more in the museum which is only a few euros.Car parking is easy.Well worth a visit

On a P&O cruise we did this trip to the British Normandy beaches, Pegasus Bridge, Arromanches and the Longues sur Mer gun battery. A truly thought provoking and inspiring day. What those soldiers went through and how brave they were. Our guide was outstanding and we learnt so much, saw some amazing things, also were able to reflect. Well done the French people you have preserved and recognised so much with your truly fantastic Overlord Experience. The cemetery at Bayeux a tribute to so many fallen one of many in the area including that at La Cambe a German cemetery that remembers that so many of these young men on both sides were just following orders.

It is hard to imagine what all the troops went through, very humbled to read some the memorials to past soldiers who have since passed and to know that their valour, determination and in many cases loss of life determined our futures
