Despite the walk from the back-up car park, we thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit to the Arboretum. On a beautifully warm Sunny day, it looked a treat with manicured lawns and tended gardens all around. The Wall of Remembrance is an astonishing and shocking jolt to the everyday comforts of life we all enjoy and the sight of so many... More

Travelled with friends one of who was a Falklands veteran so the visit had particular relevance for him. However being ex military is not a prerequisite to enjoy this moving and enthralling facility. The site is free to visit and maintained purely by donations. We spent several hours there and could have easily extended that to a full day, will... More

Seems to rely on voluntary workers and donations. With the amount of visitors to the site I would have expected more from Central Government. You need more than a day to... More

The arboretum is well with a visit- very thought provoking and poignant- really makes you think of the amazing sacrifices that our armed forces have made. Good parking and had lunch in the restaurant which was excellent..

Beautifully maintained site with plenty of room for more trees and memorials. The little train gives you a good tour of the site. It was very windy when we were there and we could have done with more protection on the train - it takes an hour and moves very slowly and so we got very cold. Some rugs for... More
