We always wanted to visit the National Memorial Arboretum and it exceeded our expectations. It took us some 4 hours to walk the site and see most of the memorials, some of which were very poignant in today's world.
Land train available for those less able bodied.
Good value restaurant and of course free, although I would hope most donate generously.

A lot to see and you need all day to appreciate the history and the memories and to pay your respects
Good provision for toilets and restaurants from snacks to full meals
The site has got better and better as the years pass and more memorials are put in, I live locally and have visited a number of times with visitors to my home and they are always impressed by the site

What a great place to visit so moving however. Don't go for the jacket potato at the restaurant it was feeble. £4.95 and we got a potato with a sprinkling of dry cheese on top and no salad (that would have been extra). I reckon the ingredients cost £0.50p sorry but it was poor.
Go and have a coffee in the coffee shop instead that was very good.

Was told by the owner of a cottage we rented this was a nice place to come and see and we were not disappointed. My partner was in a wheelchair at the time but we still managed to get around most of the grounds which was quite fascinating and very well presented. They also have a good restaurant and a charming little cafe which we found were not expensive. We would recommend it is very worth a visit.

As of when we first got there we thought we would go on a train trip around the grounds to see what our walk consisted of 12 pounds for this which I found a bit excessive for what we got after our train trip and buying a map for 3 pound we was displeased as the map really didn’t guide us after walking around the large grounds a stream walk went well and then after to restaurant and had good value curry and chips

Wow!! What a hidden gem Buzzard Valley is!! A winery a gift shop, restaurant wholesale outlet fishery..... it just keeps giving. I bought a bottle of their own Gin. A total amazing experience!! Tasting before you buy is a fantastic idea! We bought a bottle of gin 2 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of infused oil. Can't wait to return, which will be sooner rather than later 😉

A very well managed site with excellent signage, helpful and friendly staff and volunteers. ‘Free’ , although car park charges, charges for mobile scooters and land train made it a fairly expensive visit. Land train has informative commentary.
The only negative was the expensive and not particularly exciting lunch, which I regretted buying immediately. Restaurant was expensive overall.
The visit was extremely poignant and thought provoking.

Lots to see, you need plenty of time, benches everywhere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Train<br>journey and commentary very good if you cannot walk very far. Restaurant ok, but some meals take a while to arrive but good value. Parking well organised and managed by attendants. Opportunity to pay respect to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lovely service for remembrance day but also if you are into the military or a veteran or even just someone who appreciates a nice walk in calming surroundings this place is perfect. They have a restaurant for food and drinks and if you have mobility issues you can hire a scooter, if you want to take it all in you will need a whole day as there are over 400 memorials here. There is a dog walking route but all dogs must be kept on a lead.
