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.

If you are in the vicinity this is a lovely place to visit. A tranquil and peaceful place to be.
There are a couple of shops, a coffee house and a restaurant as well as a Memorial Chapel. The grounds staff work hard to keep this ever growing place immaculate. Visitors who require disabled access are well catered for, with buggies and a small train to take you around the site. Enjoy

Beautiful set out and a time to reflect on past history and current day, a full day is still not enough to take it all in ,even with help of the staff who are very helpful, they have a large restaurant ,also you can go round on the land train, all money spent in the gift shop helps to maintain the grounds with donations given.

Beautiful grounds, very large, you need a day to see around and would probably need to come again. Restaurant, serve yourself and shop, toilets, everything spotless. Much to read and see inside too. Entrance is free but £4.50 to park all day. Plenty of places to sit. Transport around on buggies for those who need it.

The Arboretum is a wonderful peaceful place, it is well laid out. My family and I made use of a driver and buggy (like a golf buggy), driver's knowledge was amazing, and he gave a lot of interesting pieces of the history about the different memorials that are there. We will be visiting again in the summer. There is a restaurant, the staff were all very helpful.
