The experience was both humbling and poignant, serving as a powerful reminder of the ultimate sacrifices made by countless brave men and women. This is a place of reflection and respect, suitable for all ages, and even welcomes dogs. With over 400 memorials, it offers a gift shop and a café as well. The staff are incredibly pleasant, friendly, and always willing to help. I'm immensely grateful for their dedication and support. In summary, I encourage everyone to visit this place themselves; I’d be very surprised if they don’t enjoy their time there.

This is an incredible place that I had no idea existed. You could easily spend an entire day here and still not see everything. It's so peaceful, and the area is impeccably maintained. The restaurant is lovely as well, featuring crosses that can be planted in the ground for a donation. I highly recommend it to everyone, and I will definitely be returning!

Easy access, well laid out and caters for everyone. Free to enter, £6 to park(June2022), cheaper if you book in advance. There's a Land Train for those less able. Too much to see in one day. You do not have to buy food there, you are free to take your own picnic and there are plenty of places to choose to sit. Quite an uplifting place, unusual considering the reason for its existence.

Fascinating place to visit on a good day. Expert landscapers have reclaimed a former quarry and landfill to create a permanent memorial to the many branches of our armed services. Beautiful and peaceful walks alongside the River Teme and a well appointed visitor centre with a cafe and restaurant. A land train is available if preferred and there is a small children's play area. We were told it is advisable to book that did not seem necessary midweek in March.

Without a doubt the most breathtaking experience, peaceful, respectful and emotional. I would recommend that all go as it is amazing. I learnt alot about different regiments, ones I hadn't heard of and the centre monument is one that no words can describe. Car park is only £4 all day, dogs are welcome and there is a lovely restaurant with teas, coffees and food all proceeds go to the NA . Entry is free but a donation can be made.
