Latest Reviews
An Amazing place, and I felt honoured to be part of the Ride to the Wall on the 7th of October to honour the men and women who lost their lives for our country. A beautiful place, I would definitely recommend a visit.
Restrooms: Restrooms are clean and tidy and can be found opposite the reception area.
Dog-friendliness: It is dog friendly as long as your dog is well behaved and kept on a lead, no dogs are allowed in restaurants or at the main wall.
Picnic area: There are plenty of picnic areas, and you can also picnic under the tress. Just remember to take your litter with you.

I met up with friends for lunch. Good facilities and such a beautiful place, I can't wait to arrange my next visit so I can see more of the grounds. Lovely shop to purchase something different, good range of food and well priced.
Restrooms: Plenty of facilities in and outside.
Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome but not inside the food area. Doggy ice cream is available in the outside coffee shop.

Although not easy to find this is a caring and green haven. My photos represent my dad through the Buffs and the Dental Corps. The final picture shows the Religious Society of Friends memorial and meeting place.
There is a small charge for all day parking but no visitors' charge.
Playground: Children are catered for but obviously they should be watched because it is too easy to get lost and there is a lot of water nearby. The children's area though is well thought out and ecologically sound.
Restrooms: Toilets are of good quality and accessible.
Picnic area: The cafe and coffee bar are good and there are places for picnics set in a respectful way.

What an incredible place!
All the staff/volunteers we encountered were very friendly and helpful from the minute we drove in. Especial thanks to Darren who, while we explored , was able to track down detailed formation about my husbands’ great great uncle that had been lost to the family.
Our recommendations would be to arrive in time for the short memorial service in the chapel at 11 where a silence is observed and the last post is played. The land train is a great way to orient yourself and see the main memorials and then you can explore on foot and get closer to the ones you found most interesting. The stunning Armed Forces memorial is the centre piece where you can also read personal tributes from family members and see photos of the fallen heroes but we would also recommend the ‘Shot at Dawn’ memorial which was deeply shocking and moving.
It was interesting to discover that not all the memorials are related to the military as we had previously thought before visiting.
The cafe has nice food at reasonable prices and there were some lovely items in the gift shop where you can buy everything poppy. We only noticed the exhibition in the main building as we were leaving but would recommend looking at that perhaps before you start exploring.
I’ve run out of superlatives but if you are thinking of going but not got around to it yet don’t wait any longer.

Came here for RTTW for the first time. Didn't have enough time to do this place justice so will most certainly be back. What I did see was incredible
