Welcome to the Lion’s Mouth… D-Day training sites were created in Britain in order to practice for Operation Overlord, the invasion of Northern France by allied forces in 1944.
In 1943, in an area of Hankley Common known as the Lions Mouth, Canadian troops constructed a replica of a section of the Atlantic Wall. It is constructed from reinforced concrete and was used as a major training aid to develop and practice techniques to breach the defenses of the French coast prior to the D-Day landings.
