As a memorial to the Armed Services and others who served and assisted, this is an ideal place for remembrance, conciliation and hope for the future. Lots of memorials to individual regiments, squadrons, divisions or branches. Individual messages and memorials can also be found amongst the trees. A truly thought provoking place.
Dog-friendliness: As long as the pup is on a short lead it's OK to be here.
Picnic area: Plenty of benches around the grounds to stop, contemplate, and have a little munch. No open fires or bbq allowed. Coffee shop and restaurant are good too.

Poignant and peaceful place. With ample parking and excellent clean facilities. There is a nice cafeteria with hot and cold beverages and plenty of seating. There are outdoor tables for those better days. You can easily spend hour's here wandering amongst the trees and memorials learning and reflecting as you go. There are lot's of hard surface paths, but to really get able you have to walk on grass, in the summer no problem. But in the winter appropriate footware is a must. It's right next to the river, so come prepared. A great day out that can be repeat numerous times before you have seen it all.
Parking is pay, but entry is free.

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.

Had the most fantastic guided tour this afternoon. Our thanks to Keith who was our guide. His knowledge is quite extraordinary and his recall of facts and figures amazing. We also loved all the extra stories that Keith has acquired during his years as a volunteer. Keith took us to see every memorial that we enquired about plus many, many more. We found the experience.extremely emotional.
The cream tea at the end was an added bonus with superb scones. Cannot recommend the tour highly enough.

A beautiful place, very emotive. The different areas of remembrance are very well thought out. The volunteers and staff do a great job and look after all the visitors with great care. It has a lovely cafe and gift shop. Well worth a visit but make time to walk about as it is a big area 😊

Went on a land train ride around the site. The commentary was very informative and a good way to get a feel of the various memorials around the site.
Very helpful staff and volunteers on site.
