Sehr weitläufiger, beeindruckender und würdiger Ort für all jene Briten die im Einsatz für ihr Land ihr Leben gegeben haben. Es umweht einen der Hauch der Geschichte, definitiv einen Besuch wert!

So much has changed as it has grown over the years. Looking at photos from when i first visited in 2016. It is an amazing place to visit, so much to see, can't see all in just 1 day. Would definitely recommend staying in a hotel and going for longer. Will be back in the very near future.

We went here when The donor family network had their memorial statue unveiled. We walked around the other amazing pieces dedicated to others in service. Highly recommend this place.

An unbelievably moving yet beautiful day. The grounds are immaculate, every statue so well placed to draw your attention. The trees are wondrous. Just to walk through and read some of the messages left is very affecting
The staff are the best we have ever come across. I mentioned a family story we weren't sure was true and Paul and then Fiona not only researched it but printed off a record showing it was in fact, true.
The 'Shot at Dawn' talk by Paul was exceptional (I may have to think of another word but it was!) Very thought provoking and informative but full of the stories of individuals which make it so much more poignant.
We finished our day with a buggy ride (well worth the £7.50 each) which took us to the furthest extent of the park and had the bonus of a wonderful commentary from John.
The food in the cafe was excellent but I can't comment on the Shop as they were closing as we left! Wonderful, thought provoking, moving yet calming experience.

What can I say when all the previous reviews have said everything about this amazing place . It’s an absolute credit to all those who run it and the hundreds of volunteers . From the minute we walked in they were so helpful and explained everything . We got the train around and it was well worth the money. Everything has been so thought out . We had Sunday lunch in the cafe . It was the best beef I’ve tasted for years . Well done to the chef . Cooked to perfection! As there is no entrance fee we tried to spend money in the cafe for our lunch and drinks . Bought gifts in the shop . Put money in the donation box and lit candles for our dads who were both in the Normandy veterans just a little contribution to this amazing place. It’s taken us years to finally get to the Arboretum but it won’t be our last . Keep up the marvellous work everyone . It really is a credit to you all . Thank you

Beautifully kept with friendly and knowledgeable Volunteers. Amazing sculptures and poems and I particularly liked the European oak sentinels. Overall, a thought-provoking experience and a place for quiet contemplation but also for enjoying the facilities.

What a fantastic tribute to those that have given everything. Immaculately kept gardens and a must to visit. Give yourself longer than you think you need you could spend a full day looking at all of the memorials

Great day out, so much to see and reflect on. Recommend buying the guide book to follow the walking routes with information about all the memorials on each. Cafe also good value for money, plenty of places to stop for a sit too.

Superb place to visit! Far exceeded my expectations when we visited on Wednesday as it is such a beautiful place with so much to see. The volunteers are very welcoming and knowledgeable. We took the last land train ride of the day at 3.30pm and were driven around by a wonderful woman who was very informative and passionate about the Arboretum. I would definitely recommend the train tour.

What a lovely day we have had. As members of GB&I Inner Wheel we decided to visit our garden here as this year is 100 since the start of Inner Wheel.<br>Went to the church service, then a ride on the train, before going off to explore.<br>Found the volunteers very helpful and the food and staff in the cafe excellent.<br>The whole experience was very touching and beautiful.<br>Thank you x

O vizita pe care , cu siguranță, nu o vom uita niciodată ! Totul lasă o impresie adânc întipărită în suflet....de la multitudinea de monumente, la felul cum sunt expuse și explicate, de la grija pt fiecare soldat , ca era bărbat sau femeie și până la faptul că nu au fost trecuți cu vederea nici copiii deveniți îngeri prea devreme ...totul, absolut totul te tine cu lacrimile în colțurile ochilor și cu inima plina de respectul datorat brazilor eroi !

It's always a relaxing visit here and every time you go there's something new to see. The cafes are nice too, with a good range of food and beverages. Sunny or cloudy it's great but I think it would be a very different experience on a rainy day, so I'd give it a miss then as there's no shelter to speak of.

We had a a lovely day at the arboretum, we first went around on the little train £7, we then decided what we were going to see first. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, plenty of places to sit quietly and reflect. We used the restaurant for lunch which was reasonably priced. You can have a lovely day out which won’t cost the earth as it is free to enter. You could take a picnic, to keep the costs down. Well worth a visit.
