A stunning setting to remember our Armed Forces. Really moving to read the personal tributes along the paths around the memorials. Please visit and appreciate the hard work in maintaining the grounds for us all to enjoy.

Brilliant day out, lots to see and do. Friendly and informative staff. Stick man trail and the land train were the kids highlight. Pushchair friendly for a good 80% of the monuments and memorials, some would be dependant on weather due to being grassy areas. Have organised social distancing and cleanliness extremely well.

Amazing place and had an amazing day. Also big thank you to the staff who helped us with wheelchairs (even thou they were not hiring out due to the circumstances) as we didn’t have any for relatives. Wonderful day made by a pleasant experience at the beginning.. can’t wait to return.

An amazing place to visit in stunning surroundings. Due to Covid-19, you have to book for the carpark. It's £4 to park, per car and you have to book when you want to arrive and you can stay till it closes at 5pm. That's the only charge as it's free to enter. My wife and I was there today, and we had a fantastic time. The Cafe is open and the only toilets that are open is by the Cafe. There's a land train you can use, there's a charge to use it, not sure how much as we didn't use it, tickets for the train have to be purchased at reception. It's mostly flat, wheelchair access is available and most of the paths are wheelchair friendly. There's a lot of steps upto the armed forces memorial, however, there's a spiral ramp there for wheelchair access. There was a barbecue today, between 12 and 2pm (I think). Well worth a visit and a must place to see. There's plenty of benches to sit on and reflect on the amazing statues and monuments that are here.

Spent a morning here on a drizzly day with the kids (7 & 9 yrs old). Wanted a break from Home Schooling and decided to book for a day before the end of term and it gets busy. Weather wasn’t exactly brilliant but we still had a nice time. Great to explore the different sections, all very interesting, even for the kids as they have both studied about the wars. Enjoyed the stick man trail and also the dipping pond and looking for the wildlife in the watersmeet. Such a beautiful place with all the plants and flowers. Social distancing was not a problem at all, plenty of staff around cleaning after people, plenty of hand sanitizer, really can’t recommend enough. Thanks for a great morning, even the rain didn’t ruin it!

Lovely place, wide open space and beautiful memorials. Very thought provoking! The grounds are beautifully manicured and the buildings modern and clean. I went today and the post lockdown facilities are good with a one way system, hand sanitizer stations, and polite friendly guides to help you park, show you which way to go and explain the new procedures.

Was great to get out and always enjoy the serenity and meaning of this venue. We'll organised and lovely staff, a real example to us all. So glad the Arboretum is open and visitors can enjoy. We had a fabulous time even with many things still closed. Well done all.

Lovely tribute to lots of differing individuals and groups, not all military. Unfortunately not fully open due to restrictions, but we had a wonderful experience anyway.

Over 300 memorials for fallen soldiers from all branches of the forces. A lot to see but beautifully laid out. Easy to get your steps in 😁

First visit after lockdown. It is very well organised. Clear direction signs in and out of the Remembrance Centre. Plenty of space to then enjoy the site and visit all the memorials.
Take away offerings in the cafe was limited but freshly prepared. Shop has been reorganised to give a one way system with good display.
All staff and volunteers very welcoming as always. You are doing a wonderful job. Thank you.

very moving place excellent staff most are volunteers and doing an excellent job .I was worried about visiting due to covid but I shouldn't have worried excellent procedures in place hand sanitiser to use. toilets spotless signs showing distance to keep apart when queuing. limited menu at the moment but had a bacon bap and latte delicious and excellent value. plenty of places to sit benches picnic tables shop is open they have everything under control. Have to book tickets cannot just turn up staff show you to your parking space. the memorials are beautiful spent 4 hours there very emotional moving place not only for the forces lovely garden for people who have lost their children babies well worth a visit.
