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.

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.
