Tolverne Cottage, Thatched cottage in Philleigh, England
The two-story cottage features walls of slatestone rubble, a thatched wheat reed roof, and a distinctive L-shaped structure near the River Fal.
General Eisenhower utilized Tolverne Cottage as a preparation point before the D-Day landings, with 27,000 American troops gathering in the Fal Estuary.
The cottage represents traditional Cornish architecture through its construction methods, incorporating local materials and building techniques from the 17th century.
Summer visitors can access the cottage via a regular ferry service from Falmouth, connecting them to this historical site on the Roseland Peninsula.
A granite memorial stone stands outside the cottage, marking its role in World War II and the presence of General Eisenhower.
