My favourite place ever. There is a real sense of peace here and it is very emotional to walk around and really remember. More school trips should be taken here. I think it could potentially solve a lot of problems. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Please remember to donate also.<br>The restaurant is really good, abit pricey so I hope some of the profit goes to the memorial.

This place is so peaceful and a fitting tribute to those who have given their lives in the name of peace. With over 300 memorials to view, beautifully kept grounds, good facilities for food and drink, and ample parking just for £3 a day, so if you are in the area then this is somewhere to visit.

We have been wanting to visit for a few years as have had family members and friends that have served in the armed forces. What a beautiful and serene place to visit which is also inspiring and moving. So much care and love has been put into designing the 350 memorials there and the grounds are very well kept.
There is a land train running half hourly for £6 which we found very useful as there was a very informative commentary. You can also do a buggy tour which takes you around the memorials if you prefer. It is well worth a visit if you're in the area.
It's open 9am to 5pm every day. Parking is £3 the whole day. It's free to enter. It there are other attractions there you can pay to go in. Also there is a remembrance service every day in the Chapel there.
Toilets restaurant well kept and clean nice food.

Lovely place but such a shame about the diseased trees in the children's area plus other areas. Came out covered in cobwebs and tiny green catapulted ,which took some shifting off your clothes. Needs sorting , will not be visiting again because of this

An absolutely brilliant place to go and pay your respects. Peaceful. As I was in the Royal Signals

Always wanted to visit the memorial and stayed overnight in Lichfield, just a few miles along the A38. Easy to find but beware of the gravel lorries hurtling around the sharp bends to the adjacent gravel pit. Pay and display is a very reasonable £3.
The centre is enormous with a very large cafe/restaurant with a good range of hot and cold food available.
We went straight through and just walked at leisure with no agenda. This meant we found associations and groups we had never heard of leading us to discover one of my wife's great-uncle's name on the Showmen memorial.
There are so many memorials but my favourite was 'Shot at Dawn' and my wife's, the Royal Navy one with the coloured glass segments.
As you start to walk from the centre, the grounds are very well kept but the further you go, the untidier and unkempt they become. Personally, I would prefer all the grounds to be the same as every life lost is just as valuable as the next.
Just one gripe that meant only a 4 star rating was the dog dirt at the Polish monument. Not the fault of the staff obviously but why allow dogs in here anyway? It's not like its a country park? This is a memorial for reflection, not defecation.

Went for the stick man trail and the kids loved it!

A great memorial place. Remembered the first and second world war. A lot of countries wouldn't have a memorial as good as this and definitely not England. Spanning over 50 acres you may need more than a day out for a family. Nice cafe with nice views. Free books you can borrow for the day for the children but most importantly had a lot of work done to make it. It has a big center which is near the entrance with all the names of people who had died in wars. Quite sad for me 😥. The amount of memorials goes into the many tens and they are all beautifully crafted with my favourite stone.

Special thanks to Michael Byrnes who went the extra mile to find John Thornton, a Marine killed in action. His family are close friends with friends of ours.
A really interesting day out. I recommend taking the noddy train. Huge commentary gives you so much information.
