Really interesting place to go to walk around read & see information on the atrocious actions of war and conflict. Guided walks approx 45mins informs you of what happened within this area (armed services,navy, airforce, etc). A large environment to remember & reflect on what man has done/is doing to each other. Activities for children, café & restaurant on site. Could spend the day here without any problems. Lovely gift shop with a good selection of products. Donation boxes around some of the exhibitions. Staff efficient and friendly. Well worth a visit.

To say we loved this place seems wrong, considering why it's there. But it's a place for reflection and thanks. We saw a fraction of the place as its huge. I hope to return.

Rode on the train as the area is so vast we couldn't cover it all. Free to get in but charge for parking. A coffee bar and restaurant reasonably priced. A lot of staff around to answer any queries you may have. My second visit and will return again.

Wonderful place to visit. Thought provoking, informative, moving....but in no way morbid

Well worth the visit, the memorial is heartbreaking that so many lost their lives. The exhibition is really interesting and the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable.

Fantastic day out for us two. We found it quite emotional as well as being very interesting and thought provoking. Beautiful setting surrounded by trees from all over the world. Lots of helpful staff around to let you know what was going on and where to go. Some visitors took their dogs in on leads. Also, the children have not been left out as there are a couple of play areas for kids as well as a ‘Stick Man’ adventure trail. Good large and well staffed cafe (recommend soup + roll) and gift shop. We were extremely lucky with the weather today, it was sunny and warm and we eat our lunch outside on the patio.

An overwhelmingly humbling place to honour those who gave their lives in service to our country. Beautiful well tended and thought through. Places to sit in quiet reflection. Informative plaques and guided tours. Suitable for all abilities.

I will return!

Knowledgeable volunteers and staff who could share additional information about the different memorials. Highly recommended.

We could have spent longer. A day is not enough time to see everything. We walked 6km as it was.
We thought that a great many of the memorials were well designed and thought out. The sculptures were life-like and thought provoking. Thought that the Parachute Regiment was probably the best of the bunch.

Amazingly beautiful place. So much to see and take in. You need at least 3 hours or more to see all of it. Emotional experience

An absolutely fabulous tribute to all the fallen throughout the ages in all conflicts, really well kept. Be prepared for lots of walking if you want to see everything, there are guided tours though if preferred.

Huge site with many memorials to both military and civilian services. A fitting tribute to all that made the ultimate sacrifice.
Very moving to see familiar names on the Armed Forces Memorial.

A stunning location with a great deal to interest visitors. It pays to talk to the guides about the monuments and symbolism of structures. The man we spoke to was very knowledgeable and it really enhanced our visit. Car parking was well organised and there are good facilities in the main building.
