Amazing yet heartbreaking to realise how many people die through conflict. It’s a very peaceful place for contemplation yet not morbid in any way. We wouldn’t be the nation we are if it wasn’t for these people who fought for our futures. Very well kept and certainly worth a visit. On my last visit I saw the inaugural flight of the hurricanes before their retirement. A special moment

The Arboretum is beautiful, a green and wooded place with wonderful memorials for those who have given their lives for others. The Military, the Police, the Fire Service, the Coastguards and Civilians. Everyone should visit. The facilities are also very good. On this year's Armed Services Day a buggy bus was donated by the Motorbike Community so disabled can be driven around the inspiring Memorial, set above an impressive flight of steps, to those who have died in combat. There are also land trains that can take visitors around the spacious site. The restaurant offers cooked meals and snacks. You can take a your own food and eat in the grounds. There is no admission fee to the Aboretum.

What an amazing place to visit! There is an air of peace and serenity as you make your way around the many memorials, not all of which are military....The trees and flowers are spectacular, as are the diverse memorials.<br>There are plenty of staff on hand to give you information, direction, or just to have a quick chat, all professional, courteous, and very friendly. There are a couple of places available for refreshments, both lovely. There are plenty of conveniences at the centre which are clean and tidy, also a few portaloos around the grounds themselves. If you want a momento, there are lovely trinkets in the shops.<br>Well worth a visit!!! And doggies are welcome toođź‘Ť

Been on our list to visit, for way too long! Just an amazing experience, the Volunteers and staff all were both very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The weather was unpredictable so we took the visitors train with a commentary, which was great, g cause we then knew where we wanted to prioritise to go. Beautifully cared for grounds and some fabulous installations, the Submariners one in particular. Although busy, were served with food very quickly with plenty of seating. Lots of places to sit and take in the surroundings and need to make another visit. Special mention to the Poppy Scotland team who were visiting, very informative and interesting

Honouring the many souls (including young babies) and the armed services who have served this country.

Very emotional visit to fallen comrades. Immaculate premises and memorials. Staff so incredibly helpful. Can't understand why I can only rate it as 5 stars... worth so much more.

Well worth a visit. A very thought provoking place. You may well find a tear in your eye. No shame there though.

Lovely peacefull place with many helpfull and knowledgeable personnel eager to assist. A large area to cover would need more than a single visit.<br>I was there on a beautiful day. Rain would not be good for visiting this manorial. Excellent restaurant.

Very emotive, but fantastic place, will return for sure

The concept is great, and the grounds are fantastic: lots of space & beautifully maintained. But I struggle to see how "the Showman's Guild" warrants a memorial, whilst the atrocities committed by the British army kind of get swept under the carpet with very little explanation at the "Shot at dawn" memorial.<br>You need a full day here to appreciate it all - and even then you'd never see it all.
