It will be fine to just turn up. There is ample parking and a museum (if you so wish) besides the memorial itself. It is certainly a must if you are touring the battlefields as are the Lochagnor crater (the very start of the Battle of the Somme on 1st July 1916 and the Newfoundland Memorial (both of these I also reviewed recently) and the town of Albert. We visit the Somme quite often so we would be happy to answer other questions you may have. Trip Advisor does not permit the inclusion of any links but try searching on google for visit somme great war memorials for useful information Enjoy your visit.
