I love my country and respect those who protect us.
This place should be a compulsory visit for every school child and adult in this country of ours.
Visited on the occasion of Armed Forces Weekend so it was very busy and lively.
Looking forward to seeing the same place in the quiet of a winter afternoon.

What a wonderful tribute to the wonderful men and women who fought for our country. The guided tour was a fabulous way of seeing and learning about all the memorials. Restaurant was lovely and the shop a treasure trove of all things poppy.

This is one place you should visit. Tkae your time, and even go back again on another day because you will miss areas. The whole place has been well designed and is a beautiful and restfull place to be. there are so many memorials to different regiments, services, etc, and of course the 'centre piece' is the Armed Forced memorial, set on a hill, surrounded by columsn of trees. The names of some 16000 service personnel who have died since the end of the2nd world war are engraved on slabs of Portland Stone. there are over 350 memorials with more being added. There are staff around who will answer any questions, and if you are seeking a particular service or name, they can usually help; I managed to find memorials to the Burma Star association (my dad served in Burma), a memorial to those who did their National Service, piece of the origianl Burma railyway and Sumartan railway, etc. Unfortunately the 2nd day we visited, we had had torrential rain, and because there is a river running along side the Arboratum, it had burst its banks and flooded many of the lower areas, so we could not access them. In my opinion one of the best things to see

We had prebooked tickets for the land train, so had to go despite the rain. We were in time for the 2 minute silence, held every day, and then had our train ride. Despite the rain, it was good - very helpful in getting an overview of the arboretum. After lunch in the 'restaurant', the rain had stopped, and we were able to walk to some of the memorials we wished to see. However, the ground was sodden, and there were huge puddles everywhere, so we didn't stay as long as we had hoped.

The architects of this memorial have done a wonderful job in the variety of ways in which so many servicemen and women are commemorated
My advice to someone planning a visit is to consider just visiting a part of the park and taking your time to walk around slowly and take in what ir represents. Trying to spend a day here was too overwhelming, better to take 2-3 hours and come back again
The land train is a 'must' to get the overview of the site at 2mph
The photographic exhibition capturing vignettes from participants of D- Day was excellently presented

What an amazing place, respectful and very thought provoking. This was our third visit, each time we find something we haven't seen before.

The site is dedicated as a memorial to honour the fallen and as such a reminder of the sacrifice made. The Arboretum is well managed, the design well thought out and the memorials themselves amazing. Such a fitting tribute.

Amazing place

The new buildings are a vast improvement on the previous one, with the main reception, shop & restaurant area having more space for visitors.<br>The prices in the restaurant tend to be a little higher than those available in other businesses in the surrounding area.<br>When visiting, you need to spend more than a couple of hours here to appreciate & see all the various memorials.
