This was our first visit to the Arboretum and it was a humbling experience. We spent about 4 hours walking round, the weather held which was good and we managed to see a lot. We had something to eat in the restaurant which was nice, and did some shopping at the gift shop. All the staff we're welcoming and friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Living close by, we visit this place on a regular basis. Totally impressed by its ethos and the total dedication to those who deserve recognition. The restaurant serves decent reasonable food, and there is a dog walking area around the periphery. Excellent all round, good to take visiting guests too also. All power to them and the concept.

This is a special place peaceful and calming .It is perfect for any age young or old there are activities for children and peaceful walks it is mostly flat so if disabled can get about . There is a restaurant and outdoor cafe and the memorials are really thoughtfully set out and looked after with the respect they deserve it is well worth a visit and admission is free

We spent a number of hours here in October 2015. There is a large convenient car park. Lots to see so suggest you wear flat shoes and bring your camera. The volunteers we found to be most helpful. We enjoyed a hot meal of home cooking at lunchtime in the restaurant.
Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Cannot speak highly enough of this place. Everyone should pay a visit but allow a whole day as there's lots to see. New visitor centre and restaurant about to open which will make the facilities even better. So many memorials to see which include some marvellous sculptures. The most moving was Shot at Dawn.

Been on another visit today. The new visitor centre is now open - brilliant. The restaurant is now bigger; there is a new coffee shop; the retail shop also bigger. The sun was shining and we had a lovely stroll. £3 parking fee well worth it. The Autumn/Winter crocus were well in bloom. The volunteers care very welcoming . X

Awesome as well as sombre and reflective, so many memorials to see and ponder over, plus so many organisations and groups were recognised for their sacrifice which we were not aware of. Will visit again in the summer when the ground is dry and solid so as to give more reflective and proper thanks to those who gave. Being dog friendly was great and in the restaurant as well.

Bit of a nightmare to get to (roadworks- end August 2023). Well worth the visit though. Oodles to see, but beware, plenty of walking. Still, disabled people are well catered for. Very respectfully laid out. Give yourself 1/2 day at least. Restaurant ok+ the obligitory gift shop. Will try to visit again sometime.

We had a lovely time looking at the various memorial gardens. We could quite happily have spent a good half a day there but unfortunately we just had a quick pit stop whilst travelling home down South.
We did have a hot chocolate and cake in the restaurant which was really good. I'd recommend a visit.
