Amazing. Beautiful but sad. Been about four times now and I have found something new each time. Good cafe to relax in.

Great for a slow walk round, weather you are into war memorials or a walk by the river, big cafe with hot and cold drinks, cakes etc.there is even a train, for guided tours.

Always nice to visit just reminds you of the many reasons to remember those who gave sp much fir what we don't always appreciate.

This is amazing inspiring place everyone needs to visit

Really pretty and very well kept

This was our first visit for Myself, Husband, Father-in-law and the Dog. We arrived at about 09.45 and we had previously been online and found out that dogs were allowed on the paths and we had printed off an online dog walking map. There were plenty of spaces in the car park, which was £3 all day.

We started following the dog walking route out of the car park and through a wooded area and then along the River. Along the route there are lots of Memorials to see and visit (dogs must be kept on leads and only assistance dogs are allowed on the memorials or grassed areas).

You don't realise when you see the Armed Forces Memorial on TV, just how large the Memorial or how big the arboretum is. The number of Memorials is humbling and moving.

The Armed Forces Memorial is quite stunning in its simplicity and recording of names, the view is also amazing.

The one memorial I personally will never forget is the "Shot At Dawn" Memorial, in memory of the British & Commonwealth soldiers executed for desertion and other offences during World War I.

A stone young soldier, blindfolded and with his hands tied behind his back. The statue faces 6 trees that represent the firing squad.

Behind the statue are posts each with the name of a Soldier who was executed. The youngest age we could find was 17.........

We stopped off for coffee at the cafe in Heroes' Square. Service was slow as there was only one person serving and making the coffee (it could do with one person at the till and another making coffee). As there was quite a queue for drinks, my Husband waited for around 15 minutes to be served. However, the coffee was very hot and strong just how We like it.

The Volunteers are very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were here for over 4 hours, but didn't see all the Memorials, as our feet were hurting by this point. We will be back.

Do plan your day and allow for at least a whole day for the visit.

Everyone should visit and Remember.

Had a day trip here with our veterans group plus friends. Brilliant day out, The visitors centre is well set out with many displays lots of which are interactive, there is a lovely cafe area with plenty of seating for lunch and brews.

The land train is ok but you miss so many memorials. It would be better to do the audio tour in our opinion.

A full day is needed to see everything and have time to take it all in.

The gift shop is really well stocked. The ladies we spoke to on reception couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful and all the volunteers were very friendly and helpful.

Well worth a visit and a good place for children to learn about our history and how we should try to prevent future conflicts.

A visit here is not to be a rushed. So much to see and take in.

Nicely laid out memorial area with informative tours, very pleasant walks. Good facilities: food, souvenirs etc.

Great Moving Day Out and a Wonderful everlasting to our fallen and our serving Military and home Protection.

This was a lovely place to visit. The visitors centre is open and bright. The children loved the stick man trail and nothing plan areas. Well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful afternoon from the car park attendants at the gate to the shop at the end all the volunteers make you feel very welcome. We attended the welcome talk by Jean who was knowledgable & passionate about the Arboretum.
We had a great tour on the train, going back to places we’d seen to look again in more detail.
The whole place is amazing and a joy to visit, so peaceful we will be returning soon.

My wife and I visited on a day of sun and showers. On entry all the staff friendly and helpful. We took the train tour which is well worth doing, as very informative. afterwards while walking around a heavy rain storm started. We took shelter behind the wall on the main Arboretum. A member of staff joined us who was really helpful, giving lots of information, showing photos etc while we waited fro the rain to clear. Give yourself 3-4 hours minimum for this place, we will definitely visit again!

Beautiful and peaceful place, amazing tribute to the British forces

Fab place with so many parts to it

Words don't do this place justice. Just give yourself at least a few hours to take it all in.
