A beautiful place: restful and somewhere fir quiet contemplation.
Have been going there since it opened so more to see every time. Highly recommended.
On a slightly negative note, and being vegetarian, ordered a five-bean chilli with Jacket Potato: even asked for confirmation that it was a vegetarian dish. On arrival, the chilli was meat-based so had to leave it. Didn't complain because it is a charity when all's said and done but the order just showed jacket potato with chilli, so maybe a quiet word with the volunteers on the counter to write down exactly what was ordered (I didn't notice until it was too late). Any other time you would get five stars. We will be back, as I say, it it a wonderful place and we often recommend it for a visit.
On a plus, why not go into the accommodation business? One day isn't enough to take in entirely. We will return I assure you.... and thanks.

Very moving and surprisingly large, great restaurant and very helpful staff, I would recommend using the land train to see the arboretum as the commentary is worth listening to.
A return trip today, still an excellent visit

Everyone should go at least once. You could spend an hour or all day. There are clear accessible paths and well marked walking routes too. The restaurant is good value as well.

Honestly one of the most beautiful parks We have visited. We took our son here yesterday to do the stick man trail and we had one of the best days out! Plenty to do, lots of fresh air and the gardens and memorials are breathtaking! We really enjoyed reading all the historical memorial plaques, learnt lots of new things. The staff spotted around are super friendly and happy to help... they were fab with our son. Cafe and shops were great and our son was worn out (bonus) We will certainly be returning for another family day out. Loved it!!! Highly recommended.

Free entry, you only pay for parking, cheap family day out. The arboretum is large, however, does have plenty of benches to sit on if required. There are a lot of memorials to see and does cover all factions of the armed forces. It does have a stickman trail to keep the kids entertained and although busy, was quite a calm serene day out. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Earth shattering experience

Although a fairly sombre place when you consider why it exists, the grounds are wonderfully kept, and is a great space to explore and take a stroll, particularly in the meadows and alongside the river.

A really poignant place to visit. I took my son to the stick man trail, a lovely addition which takes you near some beautiful memorials which are a great way to spark conversations and create learning moments which are age appropriate
Playground: There were two playgrounds we found, one with a huge climbing frame near the start of our walk and a second near a memorial for evacuee children of the Second World War which was a wooden adventure style place and also the end of the StickMan trail

A very amazing place. The tributes/memorials are easy to reflect on. Not just a military memorial. Interesting new memorial tree of Memories and also submariner bronze. Completed the circuit clockwise today 31-03-24, surprised to pick up different displays missed on previous visits.

Amazing peaceful arboretum with memorials and sculptures to remember those who have passed on. Extensive site with good wheelchair access in most places. Lots to explore. Café, restaurant and toilets on site. Everyone should visit here, nature and history combine.
Note: Prone to flooding following heavy rain as nearby river breaks its bank. Bring wellies!

We booked the car park online and it said to come for 3pm. We then not had enough time to see anything after we went to see the screening for the stick man, and the train bus was already closed by the time we have finished the learning centre. I would suggest not to go by the website carpark time suggestions as you will not have time then for walking. At the end we didn't see the stick man trail :-(

We went to the stick man event this week and it was brilliant. From the cinema film to the crafts to the walk. Kids 3 & 5 loved it. Big thank you for those who put the effort in the making a special event for half term in such a beautiful setting.
