I love coming here as it is so emotive, if you have any interest in how people and animals suffer in the face of human conflicts. It's not just the armed forces, to whom we should be forever grateful, but many other organisations who support the casualties of war. There are memorials to virtually every organisation that has served our nation. I have personal connections to the Royal Marines, WWII Normandy/Market Garden veterans and BLESMA so I attend the ceremonies when I can and lay a wreath or memento of some kind. You could spend a whole day here easily as it's so big and there is a land train to take you around if you don't want the miles of walking.<br>There is also chapel where they have memorial services at set times each day.<br>One slight criticism is the mapping. There is no decent map available of where all the hundreds of monuments are. You can go back to the Central digital information points, search for a memorial or organisation and they will print off an A4 sheet which gives you the rough location, but it's such a tiny scale you cannot read it. I suppose that's part of the experience, like a treasure hunt. Or you ask one of the green shirt guides and they will give you directions. I bought a map in early days, but it doesn't list the memorial, just the 7 areas.<br>There's a decent café, generally with a good range of hot and cold food and drink, including a roast dinner, although the restricted dietary choices (vegan in this case) are sometimes very limited, and it's quite expensive. Last Sunday it was £3.50 for a brownie slice about the thickness of a digestive biscuit! A filling sandwich was just shy of £4 and £2.30 for a luke-warm, machine black coffee. You can take your own food though.<br>But for these two things, it would get 5 stars.

Large arboretum with lots of stone regimental insignia. Historically interesting, especially if you have family connections to the forces. It also has all the names of personnel killed after the second World War carved into stone. Personally I found it quite moving. Well laid out with a guided tour train. Highly recommended.

Always lovely to come here, pay respects and contemplate. Dog friendly but not on the land train.

The place in general is always fantastic. Staff friendly well organised. Parking sorted easily. The down side was the food. Not butter on rolls bacon cold at point of delivery and expensive for the quality. In past it is usually good. They were just not ready for a large intake that was planned.

Very large house full of interesting exhibits. Well worth the visit. Toilets rather poor.

Was wet so did train round. Half of commentary did not match up to stops. Hard to see some the the points they talked about. Would have been better to have used buggies.
