Moving, thought provoking, inspiring. We will come again, we were travelling back from North to South and had a couple of hours to spare but it needs so much more time. My father was a desert rat in 8th army and have been try to learn more about them and my short visit helped, but far more important was to learn about all the unsung heroes we never hear about. The volunteers were amazing and so knowledgeable. The whole experience inspiring, will definitely return

Booked car park before arriving.
Had lunch in restaurant before visiting the memorials. Plenty of seating inside and outside of the restaurant. Coffee shop serves a lovely cuppa. Staff absolutely fantastic so helpful. We managed to stroll around taking in the atmosphere if we go again will probably take the little train as didn’t realise there was so much to see. We attended on a hot day so don’t forget your water. Highly recommended

So much to see and take-in. I spent a full day there with my dog, but unfortunately only able to take in about a third, briefly. I will definitely be returning, for more days out. If you had any questions, you didn't have to go far to find a staff member to ask, if they didn't have the answer, they found out for you.
Everyone was so helpful, and the grounds were so clean, which showed the military influence.
I said that I was only able to take in about a third, I was on my mobility scooter, but there are scooters for hire, as well as various tours. My dog is only a small Westie so his little legs couldn't take much more, even though he wanted to go on.
A thoroughly Enjoyable day with so much to see, for everyone regardless of age, but especially for military serving or retired, their families.

It was larger than I was expecting, a peaceful place to just wander round, or if you wanted to ride on the land train round as well. There is a cafe/restaurant there as well as a shop and toiletsVisited on

This place reminds me of Arlington in America
One problem they give greater notice and reverence to their fallen than we do
It is a large area, lots to walk around but for most they will only go there if they are ex service or know ex or serving members
Actually every school child in the UK should be taken there, to show ALL those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice since WW2 for them to sit in their rooms and complain

We had a lovely day. Went on the train, which was great for my parents and aunty as they struggle to walk far. Took mom's mobility scooter. But could of hired one. The commentary on the train was good. Had food in the restaurant which was lovely, only downside was, it would be better if there could be some sort of menu on table as I had to run back to the tables to check what my parents wanted. Couldn't fault the staff though. Will be returning again.

Staff and volunteers very knowledgeable and very helpful. We took the train ride to find out what was where then strolled around several parts. Main visit was to WRAC (as wife ex-forces).

Weather helped but think it could be a bit exposed on not so warm a day.

Very well laid out and maintained.

Whilst admittedly probably not the place I would normally visit, it was interesting and respectful.
