This was our second visit the first being 2 years ago.
The new reception area, restaurant and shop are a great improvement and very fitting. All the volunteer staff were very welcoming and friendly, the ones in reception helped us find a particular tree dedication site and others around the site often stopping to talk as we walked around. They obviously enjoy their role and were very knowledgeable, helpful and empathetic.
It is useful to take the train around the site early on as this gives you a good overview of what is there and also information about many of the memorials. However I do think that it would be even more useful if it was a hop-on-hop-off train.
On our last visit we realised that it is a lot more than just military memorials and we went this time to specifically visit the very moving SANDS garden and to find a tree, very recently dedicated to those from out local area who lost their lives in the 2 World Wars.
If you are able to get into the chapel for the 2 minutes silence at 11am it is well worthwhile.
We walked a lot in order to see the Far East Prisoner of War memorials, the Christmas Truce memorial and the Shot at Dawn memorial which is particularly poignant and discovered lots of others on the way. The centrepiece of the Armed Forces Memorial inscribed with over 16000 names of those who have died in service since the end of World War ll, and space for many more is very significant.
I am sure that we will visit again, more than once, as it is a very special place

An absolutely beautiful setting for a concert but the cramped seating is just so uncomfortable it really does spoil the experience

Fascinating tour with Graham the volunteer guide. Took in the life of St Chad, the Civil War, the evolution of the cathedral, and lots of interesting stuff architecturally and around the grounds. We'll be back for the rooftop tour later in the year.
