Peaceful, commemorative and humbling.
National Memorial Arboretum的点评
点评:Easy to find with clear signage on the way. Friendly greeting from staff and plenty of parking. I felt that £8 for parking was a little expensive, however there is no admission fee and the signs said that car parking charges would be used directly for the Memorial Arboretum which is positive. Visited the cafe at the start of our visit - there was a decent selection of food & drink with reasonable prices. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Toilet facilities were great, very clean and modern. Volunteers were helpful in advising us of possible routes to explore the grounds. We spent a peaceful hour and a half walking around and looking at many of the memorials. It was clear to see how much time and care had been spent. The whole place felt very humbling to visit. The setting was tranquil and the trees, flowers and water added to the ambience. We were able to reflect on some of the individuals who lost their lives and felt the work which had gone into this site and commemorating all of these people was very impressive. We ran out of time as they closed at 4pm (a later closing of 4:30pm/5pm would have been preferable for us), but we will visit again on another occasion to see and read more.
翻译:沿途有清晰的指示牌,很容易找到。工作人员热情友好,停车位充足。我觉得停车费 8 英镑有点贵,但这里不收门票,而且标志上说停车费将直接用于纪念植物园,这一点不错。我们参观之初就去了咖啡馆——那里有价格合理的食物和饮料可供选择。室内和室外座位充足。卫生间设施很棒,非常干净和现代。志愿者们热心地为我们推荐了探索场地的可能路线。我们花了一个半小时安静地四处走走,参观了许多纪念碑。很明显,我们花了多少时间和精力。参观整个地方让人感到非常谦卑。环境很宁静,树木、鲜花和水增添了氛围。我们能够缅怀一些失去生命的人,并觉得为纪念这些人而在这里所做的工作非常令人印象深刻。我们没时间了,因为他们下午 4 点就关门了(我们希望他们能晚点关门,下午 4:30/5 点),但我们会在另一个机会再次去参观,看看并了解更多信息。
