Places like this are what you personally make of them. For those who remember particular lost ones, it's a very special and sacred place, as it is for those who visit to remember regiments or events. For those who visit out of curiosity, it is a well set out park with a good visitors centre and cafe appropriate to the numbers there.
It is not a morbid place, as a memorial to military and civilian services it serves to educate and inspire as well as humble us with the sacrifice of others. The memorials are well set out and well cared for, with an emphasis on using trees as living memorials.
I will paraphrase a quote from a display in the centre:
We left the landing craft and ran up the beach. I could see my comrades falling around me. I kept running.

Fantastic day at the armed forces day great singers and dancers and plenty for the kids to do. The poppy fields were lovely and the photos of the veterans and stories about the war were very moving.

A fantastic day out and will be back soon, The place has expanded so much you will need more than a day to see it all, mobility scooters can be hired for the day but should be prebooked before you arrive, free parking and free entry the rest is up to you...

A great place to visit and to pay homage to those who have served our country in a multitude of roles. One downer was in 33°c temperatures we couldn't get an ice lolly for our grandson as they don't stock them, the management need to cater for the needs of every age group and not just retired veterans.

A great place to visit and explore. It's grown exponentially in the last 15 years from a small start. Great armed forces weekend. Well done and thanks. Shame about the lack of flypast tho. That's the main reason I went.

A thought provoking space, well laid out. Beautiful memorials and sculptures. Free entry made possible by visitors using the gift shop, coffee shop & restaurant etc. Can spend the whole day enjoying the arboretum and indoor exhibition. Great place to re visit in different seasons.

If you visit a must go to part of the Arboretum is the Allied Special Forces Grove. This is managed and run independently all of the dedications have been funded through donations and fund raising. The Pegasus bridge memorial is outstanding picture included
