Why go

British Forces Battle of Seolma-ri Memorial Park is a public memorial park in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, dedicated to the British forces who fought and died at the 1951 Battle of Seolma-ri (also known as the Battle of the Imjin River) during the Korean War — one of the most-cited British military engagements of the Korean War, in which the Gloucestershire Regiment held against a much-larger Chinese force in a multi-day battle. The park preserves the historical battlefield site with memorial monuments, interpretive panels covering the battle's strategic context and outcome, and connections to the broader Korean War-and-DMZ memorial network. Best for travelers interested in Korean War history, particularly those with British or Commonwealth heritage interests.
