Such a lovely place for wandering & remembering. Loved the environment; the trees, the wildlife, the river, etc.
And of course the many memorials. Sad that they're needed, but a very respectful & fitting way to do it.
Well worth a visit.

This is a really good place to visit. We spent two hours non -stop trying to take it all in and could easily have spent another couple of hours. Amazing number and variety of memorials and remarkable the efforts that have gone here on a site that was once a worked out gravel pit or similar. It does evoke feelings and thoughts and reminds you of what the human race does not learn from war . Its a great place for someone , who understands the impact of loss of a dear one, to come to. It is well maintained, has good facilities and it was, for us, a high-impact visit. I wish we had had longer to read more of some of the details. For instance for the police memorial, which represents a door slightly ajar (not immediately obvious,) but its maybe the threshold over which a policeman has to step every day in terms of risk etc. There are similar explanations re the conning tower and confined spaces (submariners memorial).Well worth a visit. It also happens to be free

Going to a memorial place, I was expecting a quiet place where you feel like whispering is appropriate and reflecting in silence about all these heroes who died for our freedom.
Instead of that, we found a lively place, nice and smiley staff, stunning gardens, modern buildings and toilets and of course all sorts of tributes to the differents army corps, illustrated with beautiful sculptures. The grounds are massive, but you can hop on a small train which will take you for a round trip of 30 minutes.
There was also a large stage with a jazz band, singers and children performing acts and singing. I have to say that the sound was excellent too.
There is also a huge dinning room, very clean and the food was great too.
Dogs are welcome and you can picnic if you want to.
There is more to say about this place, you'll have to see it by yourself!
I do not often give a 5 stars, but in that case, I think it deserves it.

Fabulous day at the Arboretum, the Chapel experience was lovely, the train tour great followed by the fabulous buggy tour in the afternoon with our guide Mick Byrne. A big thank you to Mick for making the day very special.

This is a really lovely place for quiet reflection. An amazing tribute to those who fought and died. We were only passing through and had only an hour to spend. We will definitely return and stay longer. The cafe was also impressive and good car parking.

Splendid place. A place for reflection. It's not just for the Military, there's something for everyone.

It is a beautiful, calm place for remembrance, but so much to see, do, and learn. We have visited it twice now, but plan to return as there is so much to see. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
