Wonderful place to visit. Lots of works ongoing so main memorial was closed. New visitors centre is being built and car park atm is a little walk off site, so if you are doing picnic for lunch take it with you. We walked the main routes and covered 5 miles Inc going back to car to get lunch. There are no bins at all on site which is strange and coffee is served in what we now know are non recycled cardboard cups.
We first went about 8 years ago and the improvements are vast, we worth a visit.

So full of memories. So somber. Really inspired and a great legacy to future generations on why war should be a last resort.

What a moving place. Sad that the Armed Forces Memorial was closed as it was having some work done. Really need a nice day for a visit as there is lots of walking involved.

Amazing place to go and visit. Only main downside was we had a dog and they are very strict about where you walk so a bit more flexibility with the dog walking path would have been nice

I took my beloved Mum before she passed to the Higher life in 2013. We managed to find a tree dedicated to the ship her father went down with in 1941. It was a very tearful and moving experience. I would recommend a visit to everyone who holds compassion in their heart!

I visited to see COFEPOW - the exhibition about the soldiers who returned from the prisoner of war camps in the East. Harrowing and moving stories abound. Well worth a visit while you are here. Set in spectacular ground. In the near future they will complete a brand new visitor centre.
Plenty of volunteer help who will happily give you a guided history if you wish.

A wonderfully peaceful location giving visitors time to spend in quiet reflection at the sacrifice made by so many.
The "Shot at Dawn" memorial set in a small wooded copse has a special stillness. A single blindfolded stone figure, surrounded by the names of those traumatised through the horrors of war, shot for cowardice or desertion, cannot fail to impact upon those who spend any time here.
A superb visit and special thanks to the knowledgeable and helpful volunteers.

Beautiful and moving place. So much to see, and so many tragic stories. There are also some non-military memorials, for example, still-born children, road deaths, the RNLI. It needs more than one visit to see everything.
