Stunning and inspirational site, amazing story of its inception, need to return many times.
National Memorial Arboretum的点评
点评:My first visit, welcomed from the moment I entered the car park - pre booked for £5, great value considering there is no entry fee to the place. Unfortunately it was a grey foggy day though it did lift later in the afternoon, leaves turning, beautiful autumnal colours especailly in Heroes' Square. Worth going to the daily Act of Remembrance in the Millenium Chapel - introduction by volunteer Paul, ably assisted by two DofE youngsters. I had book a Land Train tour to get an overview of the whole site, again well worthwhile, you get ideas of memorials that you would like to explore further. Then time for late lunch, probably best after the rush, it was a Sunday, had the Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pud, veg, gravy and horseradish. The beef was so tender, best I have had for a long time, so a big vote for the catering team, they seem to have been marked down by other reviews. I would like to suggest that the menu/meal selection is displayed on the wall somewhere so that everyone queuing could see the offerings rather than ducking and diving through the queue to check out the choices.
A wonderful visit, much more to explore on another visit in another season. Beautfully presented, very moving, excellent knowledgeable volunteers, nice shop. Thank you.
翻译:这是我第一次来这里,从进入停车场的那一刻起就受到了热烈的欢迎——提前预订了 5 英镑,考虑到这里不需要入场费,这真是物超所值。不幸的是,那天雾气弥漫,不过下午晚些时候雾才散去,树叶变色,秋天的色彩非常美丽,尤其是在英雄广场。值得一去千禧教堂的每日纪念活动——由志愿者保罗介绍,还有两个年轻的爱丁堡公爵夫人协助。我预订了陆地火车之旅来概览整个遗址,同样非常值得,你会对想要进一步探索的纪念馆产生想法。然后是迟来的午餐时间,可能是高峰之后最好的,那天是星期天,吃了烤牛肉、约克郡布丁、蔬菜、肉汁和辣根。牛肉很嫩,是我很长时间以来吃过的最好的,所以给餐饮团队投了高分,他们似乎被其他评论贬低了。我建议把菜单/餐点展示在墙上,这样排队的每个人都能看到菜品,不用费力地穿过队伍去查看。
这次用餐体验很棒,下次来的时候,在不同的季节,还会有更多值得探索的地方。菜单展示得很漂亮,非常感人,志愿者们知识渊博,店面也很棒。谢谢。
