Beautiful place

This is a very beautiful and moving experience. Tranquil areas to reflect and pay ones respects to those who have died. Lovely walks and peaceful spaces. However, the website needs to make it clear that dogs are not really welcome. There is a dog walking path but we regretted bringing our dog. From previous reviews we knew that one day would not be enough to see everything so had planned a weekend stay as we were visiting from Suffolk. The restaurant and coffee shop serve a good selection of refreshments. Gift shop has lovely thoughtful gifts.

The memorial arboretum itself was very good- respectful and considerate to all. However I did have some issues with the website which said the arboretum was dog friendly. It is in fact not dog friendly at all- certain staff members making it very obvious how much they abhorred dogs and those who owned them. So I wouldn’t go with your furry friends to the national arboretum even if they say they are friendly to your pets.

"Enjoy" does not seem an appropriate word to describe my visit, given the nature of this Arboretum. I can, however, say I hugely appreciated seeing all these Memorials to those who have lost their lives, whether in conflict or for other reasons. They are all appropriate. The grounds are beautiful and beautifully maintained. Flowers and trees abound. It is wonderfully peaceful. There are "buses" with commentary to transport visitors around. A large restaurant and shop are located in the indoor complex. I found my visit very moving and am grateful I had the privilege of visiting. I believe everyone should visit if they are able to.

A beautifully presented setting with the space to reflect on the loss of the people who are remember there. Numerous, fascinating sculptures and art work each telling a story.<br><br>My visit was also a business meeting and the conference rooms are modern, spacious and have the relevant technology. Lunch was lovely too!

A very special place to visit. A place to reflect and appreciate the sacrifices the men, women & animals did for us.
Hundreds of memorials are set in beautiful well kept grounds. Friendly helpful staff. Gift shop, chapel, restaurant & coffee shop. Plenty of picnic seating available. There is an additional fee to use a buggy or land train.
Entrance is free. Parking is £3. Tribute Ink is currently on show. A must place to visit.

A very humbling and overwhelming experience. Beautifully laid out and cared for with utmost respect.<br><br>I urge everyone whether or not you have a connection to the Military or Civil Forces to visit and pay your respect to those that have sacrificed their lives.

This a a wonderful peaceful and tranquil place to casually walk around. Alternatively you can take a ride on the land train with audio commentary (£6 per person) or if you prefer a more personal tour then the buggy (large golf cart style) tour is for you plus you have your own personal guide (£6 per person and maximum of six per buggy). Best to book as soon as you can upon arrival at the Abboretum. Remember there only memorials and no actual graves. Car park is £3 and free for Blue Badge holders. Best advice is to check online regarding timing of events that occur most days. Obviously busiest at the weekend.

We spent the first day of our break here and were not disappointed. The car park was £3 for the day and entrance is free. We were greeted at the door by a very nice chap who explained briefly what we could see and where to go. There is a land train which goes around the site with a commentary and there are also buggy tours too but although I had a bad knee we just decided to strol around and explore on our own. The memorials are superb, with the Armed Forces memorial right at the heart of it, which I didnt go up to owing to the amount of steps, but my partner did and said it was a great tribute to all. We visited the small coffee shop on the square (there is also a nice restaurant) which was pleasant and served all the usual teas and coffees, hot chocolate etc plus snacks. All in all its a great place to spend the day.

I love the memorial arboretum. Such a beautiful setting for such poignant commemorations of the fallen. The central main memorial is such a touching gesture and the fallen soldier statue is lit through the doorway to the afterlife at 11am on the 11th if november by the sun. It is hard not to feel moved and spend time reflecting.
