You have to visit if you are connected to the Military in any way or even if you are not. Give yourself a good day to see everything though.

Really nice place to visit. Pleasant staff, comfortable areas to rest and sit as its a very large area and there are lots of memorials to see. Dedications to lots of services, not just military. Food and drink in cafe not outrageously expensive, as you sometimes find! Good day out!

Went here for the 1944 event.

The arboretum is always a great visit as it's a lovely walk round.
I came with my family of all ages.

Arriving here having pre booked parking we were ushered straight through. This meant we missed the entry desk where we would normally be given a map and a trail sheet for the kids. I'm glad we didn't have to que but if there was a volunteer on a stand alone desk then this could help.

We were looking forward to the lawn games but couldn't find where these were.
I really think it would benefit from a cafe or something at the far end of the park.

The event itself was great the park is well looked after too.

The cafe is Pricey as expected ands can be a little complicated in the system. There's no clear menu on the hot food area either so unless you push forward between the crowd you can't see.

Staff lovely as always

Everyone should visit this place. Unfortunately we had limited time. 10am -2pm. We were welcomed by an extremely helpful lady. Firstly we did the buggy tour. Our guide, a CDT teacher, was fantastic. His knowledge and delivery excellent. As time was limited we then did the land train tour. It was also wonderful with an excellent commentary. The various memorials and the grounds have been so carefully and imaginatively thought out it is a must see. Finally we enjoyed a tasty lunch in the restaurant. We needed more time.

Always something new to see there, a day isn't really enough time to get around it all.
The staff are super friendly and helpful.
The cafeteria is always well stocked and the shop has some really great items.

Watched a 1944 day. Visited the war exhibition. There were 1940's dancing and Beth Belle a 1940's singer. Audience participation. Gorgeous gardens. We found the memorial to the Medical Corps. My friends Father was a POW in Stalag19 for 4 years, so we found it quite moving.

Peaceful and respectful place.
A good place to come and remember.
Plenty of places to stop and sit to reflect as you walk around.

Nice food or just a coffee is available. We are retired diabeticโ€™s and it was no problem for us to have our pack lunch with our coffee sitting at the outside sheltered table.

We bought a few momentoโ€™s in the shop to remind us of our visit, this was our second visit and just a great experience both times.

I would like to thank all the people that look after the visitors and the Arboretum.

Recommended for a lovely day out.

This is a great place to visit, the memorials are set in acres of wonderful grounds which are maintained to a very high standards. The main memorial is the centre piece of the site with the names engraved of all service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice it is very moving and a special place to visit

Restrooms: Toilets are. Lean and well maintained in the main reception and restaurant with portable toilets sited around the grounds which are all clean.

Dog-friendliness: Dogs are welcome to the site and are welcome in the restaurant and main reception area.
