The Cromwell tank marks the entrance to the forest.
This tank is a memorial to the 7th Armoured Division, known as the Desert Rats, who were based here during World War II.
The easy access route has interpretation boards explaining the history of the Desert Rats and their time in this area prior to D-Day. From this walk it is possible to locate the positions of some of the buildings from the army camp.
