What a beautiful, tranquil and fitting tribute to fallen comrades. Really well designed and laid out, easy to follow the various threads and the National Armed Forces Memorial is breathtaking. We arrived early and had a lovely breakfast, freshly cooked and reasonably priced. The Land Train is an excellent way of viewing much of the site and commentary is very informative. We were privileged to attend the Memeorial Chapel for the daily two minute silence. The talk by one of the volunteers was excellent. We walked around the site and memorials and as a former serviceman I was pleased to remember my naval comrades whose names are on the memorial.
I found it an emotional, inspiring and moving place to visit.

An amazing day out. The grounds are immaculate and the volunteer guides and plentiful and anxious to impart their knowledge and ensure you get the best experience whilst visiting. We took a guided buggy trip, which was the same price as the train and were lucky to have it and the guide to ourselves, so we felt we had a really personal tour. There are three walking routes to suit all abilities and we managed to do them all which covered the majority of the site. However there are so many memorials, from the grand to small plaques that it would take several visits to see them all. It is so peaceful just strolling round the site and the memorials are thought provoking and it is humbling to see how many people gave their lives so we could live in peace. The Millennium Chapel is small but beautiful and a daily act of remembrance is held there every morning when a two minute silence is observed. We ate in the on site restaurant and were impressed with the quality of the food and the reasonable prices.

Went here for a last minute planned trip and I'm so glad I did. It's easy to find, located 3 minutes from the A38. Parking only costs £3.00 for the whole day and all parking goed towards the trust. The grounds are lovely and memorial's are kept clean and tidy. My only advice is to bring a pair of comfy shoes as they'll be a lot of walking involved.

Wow what an extraordinary place to visit. Both humbling and enjoyable at the same time. We visited with small children and the stick man trail helped to keep their interest. As our first visit we used the land train which was a great way to see what was around and get your bearings. It was however a bit expensive at £6 an adult.
I felt it was really well set out and who minds paying £3 parking when entrance is free. Have to say the staff were all friendly and helpful.
My other complaint would be a lack of toilets once you're out in the Arboretum. It's 150 acres you're encouraged to enjoy, but other than the main building i saw two single portaloos for the rest of the site. This isn't adequate.
An absolute must of a place to visit!
