One of the most incredible places we have visited. This huge area that is dedicated to both service and sacrifice.
Incredible volunteers who are all knowledgeable and friendly. Viv who greeted us and who we meet on and of throughout our visit. The wonderful Pat who’s buggy tour and shot at dawn talk gave us a depth of information which made the trip ver special and Penny who we shared the act of remembrance with at 11am
So may poignant memorials from the main centre wall, to the shot at dawn, from the navy memorial to the truce at Christmas memorial. The children’s memorial wood to the memorial to mark mental health and PTSD.
Truly a day to reflect and remember, but be thankful too

Wow, what a place to just be.
It's beautiful and tranquil, yet also moving and emotive.
It's a long day out, or a quick walk and some lunch.
A good weather day is needed as it's mostly outdoors but there are indoor exhibitions to see.
The food was great and good value.
The staff were OUTSTANDING.
Polite, chatty if you want, knowledgeable and approachable.
If I could give more stars I would. But the best thing I can do is go back, which I am planning on doing.

Great place, they've done some really impressive work over the last decade, such a great facility to walk the dog, humbling to see all the memorials to the serving people.

How can 21 people put terrible ??!!. Anyone even with a slight interest in military history will be amazed by what has been achieved here. Being February it was pretty quiet so we had the lectures at the Far East Campaign (horror) & the Shot at Dawn (shock) to ourselves, what these souls had to endure beyond belief. I was nearly has emotionally drained as when I visited Auschwitz. Could not possibly do it all in 1 visit would love to come back

Plenty to see and quite emotional reading about the men and women who died

Had a really good day walking around the Arboretum. One day is simply not enough though. There is good parking at £4 and a Cafe, indoor displays and both walking and transport tours available at extra cost. The grounds are vast and picnics are allowed, so on a good day bring a picnic and make a day of it.

Well presented, could easily spend 3 or 4 hours going around the arboretum. Volunteers on site very helpful and knowledgeable.

This place is fantastic and we visit regularly as there are always new memorials being added. We still haven't seen all of the memorials yet and like I say, we visit quite regularly. There is a lovely walk along the river, many little huts to sit and ponder, have a picnic or watch the birds. It is very vast so allow at least half a day but a full day would be better in able to try and see everything. If you are planning a visit around armistice day, make sure you book up as it is very very busy and when they do the ride to the wall. There is a cafe which sells a good range of foods too. It is best to check before you go for events, there is an overflow car park too and the parking is £4. It is free to get in but you can put money in the donations box and it is used for the upkeep of the very large grounds.
