This is a beautiful place. 150 acres filled with memorials to all branches of the military, placed among trees and shrubs. Very peaceful and thought provoking.
The grounds are immaculately kept and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
There is a café and shop on site, which is handy as you will need to spend a whole day there to do it justice.

What an amazing place! So many times I've seen pictures and articles of the Arboretum but this was the first time I'd visited. From the first step inside the main doors, my husband and Myself were welcomed. The guides/assistants were extremely helpful and so friendly. The grounds are a delight, easy to access for my disabled husband. There is a Land Train that carries visitors around complete with commentary. The restaurant serves great food. Again, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The final delight was the gift shop, stocked with so many beautiful things as well as the obligatory mementos. Definitely worth the visit, we're going to go again.

Plenty of parking and £6 for the parking if you don't book on line. Gardens are lovely and well kept. It is spread out which is nice so you can wander around at your own pace. Cafe was clean and had plenty of staff. Hot and cold food served. If you are looking to get out for a walk then visit here, it will not disappointVisited on

Beautiful grounds and very thought provoking. Take the train to gain an insight into all the different memorials and then make your way back to those you are most interested in. Well worth a visit, free entry just pay for car parking, which is cheaper if bought on line before your visit

Wonderful place. Very thought provoking. We were there on the day they were commemorating 60 years since national service. Princess Ann was there and the highlight was the three forays by a Spitfire. My 2nd time here, certainly not my last.Visited on

Such a beautiful place. Its so peaceful, plenty to see, read and learn.
It's free to go, they rely on donations. Parking was £6 but I believe its cheaper if you pre book the parking. My daughter did a bug hunt which cost £2.50 and she got a prize at the end of it. There is plenty of benches around. The staff we did see were very friendly.
We will definitely go back

Very emotional place but beautifully & calm. All those men and women losted there lives. It's unbelievable. Its shuck a complete waste of lives. Reading what some of men and women did it break your heart. We didn't stop long because it was just a stopover on the coach back home. But we have been before.

A place of calm to reflect upon those that lost their lives in conflict or line of duty or dedication to a service.
Allow 3 -4hrs for a steady walk around of the grounds including the main memorial, a fitting centrepiece.
Occasional Battle of Britain Memorial Flights take place over here on special days.
Only by visiting will you really appreciate the the necessity of such a memorial.

There is a decent cafe with both indoor / outdoor seating.
A shop with items as expected .

Car parking is £6 per day so good value which can be booked in advance or pay on the day.
Wheelchair friendly.
Donations welcome.

Don't take my word for it.
Go on, take a look for yourself and take your handkerchief......

This a beautiful serene place to visit. All the memorials are very poignant. The site is massive. Take about 2 hours walking but their is a little train and buggy tours. Great cafe and shop too. Its free entry but you have to pay for parking. Well worth a visitVisited on
