It is a lovely place to visit so peaceful and relaxing, and so much to see

Wonderful experience, very interesting place, well worth a visit.

Peaceful place. I did think though that such things as a train that goes around the memorial (for which there is a charge) reduced the reverence such a place deserves. Exceptionally friendly and helpful volunteers and staff.

You get a feeling of peace and tranquility

I adore

Fantastic

A very sombre thought provoking place.

The Arboretum is not free but for a very small contribution to the up-keep you could spend all day at the venue.

There are sections within the grounds for all the various corps. and forces who have ever lost personnel.

The most thought provoking is the wall with all those that have fallen during a conflict. It has a gap down the middle so the sun shines through it on a certain time of year.

Well worth a visit.

Great place to come, a nice walk round we came on a Sunday and they were serving roast dinner too!

Very interesting

Impressive monumental tributes to the Fallen in two world wars. There are lots of trees and shrubs and it is very decorative but the word Arboretum is misleading.

Very good lovely garden

Fantastic place with such helpful staff and a poignant day to go

well it is a great walk around. lots to see take a picnic etc plenty of benches to sit down. undergoing more expansion when I visited. but it's not in the way. on a sunny day as I had it's beautiful. plenty of wild life as well. it's free to walk around and £3 to park all day including blue badge users.

This place is amazing it's so relaxing to walk round. You need a whole day to see it all. Staff are very helpful.

An extremely beautiful and moving place. Excellent for a day out, or even over multiple days. I would suggest starting with the primary memorial in the middle of the site.

This place 😢 take a hanky. It'll grab your heart.

Beautiful place. Very interesting and moving in places

Really special place to walk around with the whole family

Poignant, interesting and entrance by donation.
Immaculate grounds with a huge number of forces and emergency services memorials.
Well worth a visit.

Wonderful tribute to so many different organisations and people. Be prepared to spend the whole day there, there's so much to see

Fascinating place. Take a train or buggy ride as it's a big site.

So much to see. Will definitely go again.
