Lovely afternoon spent here, unfortunately 3 hours was not enough time to see everything. Would recommend Paul as a guide, he was so knowledgeable and friendly.

An easy place to find with good parking. Very peaceful & beautifully kept gardens and areas. A comprehensive selection at the restaurant/cafe and a well kept gift shop.

A truly wonderful moving experience.
Plenty to see, so much it's impossible to do it all in a day. Pre-book if you can, they nearly didn't let us in.
Car parking £4.00 but entrance is free.

Amazing experience for all the family. Sobering thoughts and reflections for older folk and lots of interesting thing for the little ones to do. The "Stickman Trail" had all ages engaged (if only in trying to follow the map). Well worth a repeat visit, as things change regularly.

Been 3-4 times now over a 15yr period to watch the land scape grow and develop. Its such a lovely and peaceful place, to both remember and pay your respects to the fallen and lost.

Be proud of this incredible memorial to our fallen and those who died in service of our nation. A beautiful park, it is almost impossible to see it all in one day and two trips would allow you to enjoy all the arboritum has to offer. Lovely facilities, welcoming voluntary workforce make all feel at home.

A large area full of outdoor rooms for each of the services, plus a riverside walk and the main memorial circle on top of the hill. Book in advance for £4 parking. Otherwise entry free but can donate. A quiet and respectful place.

Have wanted to visit for a long time, finally got there and was taken aback at the space and the arras y of monuments. Tranquility reigned, even with children around. It was interesting learning about the different organisations that have allowed us British people to live in peace and relative safety.
Found the name of a family friend who died in the Falk lands. Quite unexpected. Extremely poinent. Loved learning more about the railways - Burma and Singapore, as both my grandads had been interned there.
The grounds are extensive and beautifully maintrained. We spent 5 hours there and will need to revisit as we did not see all the memorials.
Would definitely recommend. Whether you are interested in the wars/particular armed force.

Four friends, all ex-military, visited the arboretum and spent a wonderful six hours wandering around the memorials and beautifully kept gardens and woodland. There were a lot of people visiting on this particular day, but the place is so huge that you can be a long distance from others, and also still feel a quiet solitude. The memorials are spectacular, and it brings a tinge of sadness when you read some of the names and information on them, that so many young people have lost their lives defending the freedoms that this country of ours holds so dear. It was even more poignant by what is happening in Afghanistan at this particular moment in history. We booked an afternoon tea in the restaurant on arrival for four o’clock, and this rounded of an excellent day of remembrance for all four of us.

Our first visit and we were blown away. So many memorials and so many stories. We saw a Spitfire flypast too which was unexpected. Wear comfy shoes if you want to walk but there is a little train to take you around if you prefer. It is free, although they charge for parking, but it is well worth the visit. We will be back as we only saw half of it!

I visited the Arboretum for the third time, bringing my husband for his first visit. I cannot fault anything about our visit, even with the inevitable COVID restrictions. Every single member of staff was helpful and friendly, ensuring that we felt welcome, both on site and in the restaurant.
We took the land train tour (£7 each but well worth the cost), which enabled us to get an idea of the layout of the Arboretum and the location of several key monuments. The gentleman who managed the boarding of the land train exhibited a great sense of humour and a high level of customer care.
In the restaurant, we enjoyed soup and a roll and a hot drink each (just over £11 in total), it was delicious and just what we needed on a chilly May day. The staff here were also very helpful and friendly.
The grounds are stunning and so well tended, the whole place is a fitting memorial for the nation.
Thank you!
