I live about 4 miles away from this and had never visited. One day my sister and I wanted to take our elderly parents out for the day somewhere local due to time commitments and decided to visit here as none of us had ever been. We were all so surprised at how impressive it was. It's a big site with so many memorials, and it's so moving, especially the armed forces memorial on the hill. It really is a place to remember.

It’s really nice to come and look around here. After a bit of a walk the children got tired so we took one of the golf carts back to the cafe. Really enjoyed it

Lovely place. Started with a coffee in the coffee bar. Then off for a good walk round. The armed forces memorial is quite moving. Some of the paths were a bit muddy and had large puddles on them. Only complaint if you walk to the Christmas truce shelter and need the look you have to go back to the main building a very long walk for the elderly. Some toilets around the site would be good.

What a fabulous place to visit, it's so vast that I will need to revisit. Set in lovely grounds with unique monuments remembering people and animals who have served their lives to make what we have today happen. Lovely restaurant inside with a great selection of hot and cold food. The friendly voluntary staff are at hand to provide information and advice. Guided tours are available. It's free to enter and they accept donations for good causes.

We made an impromptu visit so had no idea what to expect. However, the calibre of the staff, the beautiful visitors centre and the stunning memorials left me feeling overwhelmed. Of special note was the Armed Forces Memorial which has to be seen to be appreciated. We were extremely lucky to have volunteer David Brown on hand, who with great knowledge and patience, explained the special significance and symbolism of the structure.
We will certainly be back.

Lovely place, so close to home, shame about the weather but that didn’t stop us spending over 2 and a half hours out in the rain and cold exploring!

A visit here makes you really appreciate the sacrifices of others so we can live as we do today. We arrived at 09:30 and left at 15:00. It is a full day if you want to appreciate the arboretum. Make sure you attend the chapel at 11am for the daily service it sets the day up for you. A word of warning many of the memorials or off the main paths so make sure you wear good boots as the ground gets boggy. You really do need a minimum of 4 hours is you want to see everything.

It is a place for reflection and remembrance. I always feel better after a visit. The restaurant is full or wonderful meals and treats. A separate coffee shop is separate with lots of treats to eat. The guides and staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. Please go., but not on a wet windy day. A train will take you round, or book a buggy. Enjoy

Fabulous! Can't believe they rely on donations! Wear comfortable shoes if you want to cover the whole area and see everything (although there is a land train you can pay for)...usually windy!
