A really well-kept tribute to those who served and to those that didn't come home again.
You can easily spend hours wandering around the memorials.
A nice cafe for refreshments.
The volunteers are extremely knowledgeable and keen to help.

Attended during the day and it holds a dear place in my heart. With that being said i attended the Illuminations last night and i was left speechless, it was absolutely breathtaking. I actually got emotional at the sheer beauty you created in a natural environment.

What a lovely place both a memorial to our heroes and a growing arboretum. Lots of parking, a great cafe with a good selection of food and drink. Almost too big to do justice in a days visit. Toilets all around the arboretum. We will be back.

Wonderful and very emotive site, there are 400 statues/monuments - you could spend all day here. The restaurant is also to be recommended, we had a delicious homemade beef and Ale hotpot which was exceptional

It rained during our visit so we rode the train and listened to the narrative. Such an amazing, well designed sensitive place. Worthy of a visit by everyone, not just those who lost someone in a war. Will go back again.

A profoundly respectful & carefully crafted memorial to the fallen, it stands as a poignant reminder of the deep cost of conflict. A beautiful setting, evoking a somber atmosphere, yet remains imbued with a sense of hope.

The memorial honours service men & women killed since 1945 & names etched into its walls is particularly moving - 22 of whom I knew personally.

This is a must visit place, whether for education, reflection or pilgrimage.

Entrance is free but you'll need to pay to park.

Beautiful serene place to remember the military service men and women who served in the wars. Well kept gardens, individual monuments of each regiments. Need more than a few hours to visit. Restaurant, coffee shop, gift shop to browse through.

This place is a lot bigger than we thought. There are a multitude of exhibits in the grounds. I would advise taking the tour train as you get a commentary of the displays as you pass them. If you want to walk around you will need hours. The cafe and shop are very good. The displays are first class and well laid out. Well worth a visit. It is free to get in, parking is charged at £6 per day (2024).

Always a great day out, lots of space for children, the stick man trail is good. Obviously the setting is sombre and respect must always be given.

A special place!
