Very emotive,uplifting in a tranquil setting, will be even more so in a few years time when trees are more mature.

What an amazing place. Was a little concerned it may be a bit morbid (went for a birthday day out) but it has been created so skilfully and brilliantly it never felt so. Some of the areas esp the Wall of Remembrance were shocking in the scale and the number of names/lives lost but it was beautiful in its simplicity... More

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 arboretum is a place where you can reflect on what is past in a place that is tranquil but not somber. the gardens and memorials are thought provoking. this place is where each generation can learn about the sacrifice that many have made throughout the 20th century the arboretum is set in 150...

A Memorial in its infancy and still subject to development and upgrading.. Some lovely and historic areas yet not sure what the criteria is for inclusion on the site.
