Inspiring memorial to over 400 British armed forces units and specific actions.

Fabulous experience, especially as we visited on VE Day80 so there was a lot going on around the memorial centre. So many individual memorials it would take well over one say to see them all.

I've been here a few times.Parking is £8 unless you book on the Internet when it drops to £5.They prefer you to book a spot to help with crowd control. I simply turned up and paid the £8. Lots to see here memorials to all the armed forces and former battalions and regiments that have now been disbanded. The main memorial includes the names of all the armed forces personnel who have lost their lives since 1945. The main memorial is impeccably well done. Respectful and has wonderful statues to the fallen.Its a moving experience. Another one of the highlights is the Shot at Dawn Memorial .I won't spoil it, but it's another moving experience. Once you read the citation, you come away with a totally different perspective . Spotless toilets and good disabled toilets.There is a self service Cafe which is not cheap.£2.75 for a can of coke.£3 to £3.50 for.a coffee from a self-service coffee machine .Breakfasts are anything between £7 to £13 .Told you not cheap. Free to enter, but all donations are greatly appreciated. All in all, well worth a visit. Returned a week later and not able to get it.On May 5th no parking spaces unless you had booked online. At 10.20 impossible to park so I made my way home .dissapointed say the least . I didn't want to give my bank details out on the site.The car parking here is totally inadequate. Car parking wise it's simply not up to the job

What can I say, but a must visit. We went on VE remembrance day where there was lots of entertainment based on the times of the war. We had a great time visiting.<br>The layout of the whole arboretum is lovely and a great place to remember lost ones who served in the armed forces. Lost but never forgotten.

Visited numerous times and always find something new. But yesterday 4/5/2025 visited for 80th ve day celebrations WHAT a fantastic day, from entering to leaving there was something for everyone. A big thank you to everyone involved.

The detail in the exhibits was great and very informative.<br>The layout was spread out but flowed nicely.<br>Some memorials wouldn't be easy to get to with a wheelchair if the ground was wet due to a few being grass or gravel paths but most would still be accessible.<br>The natural aspect of the sight makes for a wonderful walk.<br>I would recommend booking in advance for special events as it can get very busy quickly.<br>I arrived at 10 and finished at 5 as there is a lot to see and take in, so, is a wonderful day out.<br>The cafe looked good but I didn't use it today as the fish and chips bus was here so didn't want to miss that.
