Maisy Battery
Buried for 60 years, this German battery was an integral part of a military zone, used for opening fire on Allied troops across the beaches of Utah and Omaha. The final assault of the 5th and 2nd Battalion of American Rangers on 9 June 1944 lasted 5 long hours. Visitors can explore 3 km of trenches, as well as tunnels, 6 155mm artillery platforms, and other underground constructions now open to the public. Visits take 40 to 60 minutes. You can explore the site on your own, and site maps are available on request. We recommend you bring a torch and wear suitable boots if it's raining. Contact: +44 7429387431
