Visited (again) on Weds 28th March. As ever the staff and volunteers were attentive and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food was good as was the service. This is a lovely place to visit although to fully appreciate all the memorials it's best done in decent weather or at least no rain!! In the words of a certain well known actor..I'll be back..

Lovely peacefull place with many helpfull and knowledgeable personnel eager to assist. A large area to cover would need more than a single visit.
I was there on a beautiful day. Rain would not be good for visiting this manorial. Excellent restaurant.
Restrooms: Clean and in good order
Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome on a lead. Some forces dogs have their own place of remberence.

This place is amazing. I was taken here as a surprise and only managed a couple of hours before we had to go, I will be returning for more. It has everything you need and more, and you could easily spend the whole day there. It has a cafe, restaurant, rest area and lots and lots of things to see. The parking is £3 and to get in is free. A great day for individuals and families.

Really lovely place. Great for a gentle wander - so many interesting memorials to see. Fab countryside - very peaceful and relaxing. The kids loved being able to run around and explore too.
Had a nice time on the land train tour - very informative and enjoyable for all ages.
Excellent facilities by way of a restaurant and coffee shop.

I usually attend the Ride To The Wall, an annual event that raises funds to support the Arboretum.
When I have visited on quieter days, the whole atmosphere is very emotional, for me, more so than when attending the RTTW.
The facilities, including a cafe and self service restaurant,care of a high quality.
I can not recommend a visit highly enough.

Despite being 5 minutes late for Sunday lunch as I arrived at 2.35pm the kind staff and chef consented to let me have a lunch and this turned out to be a real treat of Turkey and Beef with scrumptious roast potatoes. They are a very friendly crew who run the restaurant and are always willing to help. Definitely worth a visit to enjoy a roast dinner any day.

In January 2018, Richard Barlow said about Lichfield Cathedral
Beautiful building in a wonderful location, also very peaceful and a lovely place to just sit and contemplate no matter if you are of a religious bent or not, fascinating history, helpful staff and if you're so inclined a nice tea room /restaurant and a good gift shop close by, the rest of Lichfield is close by so could be incorporated into a really nice day out.

I have visited here many many times and still like walking around and seeing how it is growing. It is not just the trees that are growing, it is the memorials and features, which makes no two visits the same. The entrance, shop and restaurant all give value for money and the chapel and exhibits will interest even the most sceptical. As for the main memorial, I go to see names of those that I have known.

This is a lovely, tranquil place and a credit to the country. There are some beautiful memorials and trees. Very moving for military families and for people who have lost loved ones. You pay to park (£3.00 in July 2014) and then its free entry. Guide book £6.50 which is well worth it. Very nice restaurant and gift shop.

Free to enter, but all profits from the very good restaurant or souvenirs go towards the upkeep of this memorial Arboretum. Memories will be provoked from the areas from all forces from all over the world. Consider that there are some 15000 names on the central memorial, and these are only since the second world war. If you have connection with the forces or have had the misfortune to have lost someone in conflict, this is a must to visit.
