It is a place for reflection and remembrance. I always feel better after a visit. The restaurant is full or wonderful meals and treats. A separate coffee shop is separate with lots of treats to eat. The guides and staff are fantastic. Nothing is too much trouble. Please go., but not on a wet windy day. A train will take you round, or book a buggy. Enjoy

Attended for an event in one of the conference rooms. Long time since we were here and the place has been dramatically overhauled since we were last here. Entrance building, parking and restaurant were all first class and very clean. Enjoyed our event in the Aspects building where we were served a very nice cream tea. All was, and felt, Covid safe.

We visited early in the morning and started with bacon butties in the lovely restaurant. Then we walked all round the site and visited just about everything. We didn't go on the train, but the guides were very kind, informative and friendly. It is a fantastic reminder of the devastation that war can cause but is thoughtful and respectful. There is no charge to go in, but 3.00 for the day to park.

Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Recommend the buggy ride as you get a personal commentary (land train is pre-recorded). Walking footwear recommended as large areas to cover and can get a bit boggy after rain. Restaurant food very good. Will come back in a different season to see the trees in full leaf.

Beautiful, peaceful gardens so fitting to remember those lost in conflict. Lots to see and interesting to learn the history behind the memorials. Really good land train with commentary available. Buggy and wheelchair accessible. Tea shop and gift shop on site but close to other local pubs and restaurants. Well worth a visit.

My 1st visit and I found the staff very helpful and friendly. There is a fantastic restaurant serving good food and there is a separate coffee shop which is pleasant to, their tea cakes are huge! and tasty! The train around the The National Memorial Arboretum is well worth it then go by foot afterwards to look around.
And what a amazing chapel.

We regularly go to the arboretum we have seen many changes as it grows
This visit I took my grand daughter with us and she found it interesting
We took the road train around and even we saw parts we have not seen before
We are in the restaurant and food was good value
We will continue our visits as we grow old and hope grand daughter will want to re visit

Visited (again) on Weds 28th March. As ever the staff and volunteers were attentive and helpful. We ate in the restaurant and the food was good as was the service. This is a lovely place to visit although to fully appreciate all the memorials it's best done in decent weather or at least no rain!! In the words of a certain well known actor..I'll be back..

Lovely peacefull place with many helpfull and knowledgeable personnel eager to assist. A large area to cover would need more than a single visit.
I was there on a beautiful day. Rain would not be good for visiting this manorial. Excellent restaurant.
Restrooms: Clean and in good order
Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome on a lead. Some forces dogs have their own place of remberence.
