A very sombre place beautifully looked after and the staff can’t do enough for you. A very good place to visit and pay your respects to our fallen.

Was very impressed by the peace and tranquility here. Well laid out and thought provoking. We took advantage of the land train tour (wheelchair accessible).... excellent commentary all round the route and it lasts for about 3/4 hour or so. Can get off at any point on the tour and walk back if you want. The whole site is mobility friendly and there are motorised scooters available for those less able. Restaurant and coffee shop were bright and airy with snacks, choice of cooked meals, cakes etc.. There are good toilet facilities and a Royal British Legion shop. The guide book at a cost of £5 is well worth the cost and makes for good reading. The staff and volunteers were very knowledgeable and friendly, and it was interesting to talk to them.

We booked tickets a couple of weeks ago as they were offering a chance to try out archery, axe throwing etc however due to the death of the queen these were not going ahead which is understandable. We did have a great day anyway. The feeling around the arboretum was very respectful and we signed the book of condolences and laid a rose under the tree the queen had planted many years ago. The arboretum is absolutely beautiful I would recommend it to anyone. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They have a restaurant and a coffee shop and the food was lovely. You can take a train around the park if you find it a bit daunting walking, and this is a guided tour to the memorials. It's so interesting and thought provoking. There is a lovely gift shop with beautiful things to purchase too.

What an amazing memorial place to visit

Lovely excellent memorials set in vast grounds. Good walkways, if u want to hire a wheelchair or mobility, you can at a small charge. And there is also a train/buggy to take you around if you don't want to walk. There is also a restaurant and a coffee shop opposite each other. There is plenty here to spend the day and, of course, even better if the weather is good. For meetings/parties, there is also a large function building.
Restrooms: Lovely wide toilets that are disabled friendly and the dryers are low , although the water from some of the taps only trickle out.

Wow what a breathtaking place over 36 acres, of monuments to all 3 armed forces and civilian services, and the central cenotaph is mind-blowing seeing all the names who have lost their lives for the good of this country, my late father served in the forces in his younger years, very poignant and moved me to tears, but a place these persons will never be forgotten.

Vast area of land, with dedications to all of the armed services and civilian.
If mobility is an issue I would suggest booking a mobility scooter before your trip, as the area is very big
Dog-friendliness: Dogs are welcome in all areas
Picnic area: Nice cafe, and not expensive.

Fantastic place, you need a full day to get round everything. Superbly set out and very poignant, it makes you think. The cafe has a good choice of food and drinks but it is on the expensive side. Parking is £6 and you can pre-book on line as well as paying at the reception area. I would definitely go again, it's an amazing place. There are carts available for people with walking difficulties, and there is a road train that goes round. I'm guessing you would have to pay for these. The place itself is free to enter, there are collection boxes on the way out for contributing.
