A wonderful place commemorating war heroes. It is worth booking a day and seeing everything in a leisurely way, and the area is quite large.

I was there with some ex-Royal Artillery soldiers. It was my first time. Wonderful experience & gardens. Really worth a visit.

Such a poignant place for reflection and contemplation amongst the peaceful setting , the irony that the peace sits in juxtaposition to the conflict experienced by many who have lost their lives war, it is impossible to not be moved , the great Wilfred Owen says "war is futile", how many more lives are to be lost not only in our county but around the world before we can celebrate compassion and kindness instead of needing rituals to weep and remember those who had never been intended to go when they did.

Easy car parking, free entry, voluntary donations encouraged. Very large grounds, accessible for prams and wheelchair users. Very moving and humbling experience. Only stayed for 2 hours and didn't see everything.

We had the most amazing day, Geoff was our buggy driver for the day. He was very knowledgeable and helped us see everything at the Arboretum. The memorials are so emotional and so varied. We cried and laughed all day. Stick Man was also there with all his friends for the children to find.

The National Memorial Arboretum offers an exceptional experience for a family day out, with its over 100-acre landscape filled with unique and thoughtfully designed memorials dedicated to fallen soldiers and service personnel. Each monument tells a story and stands as a respectful tribute, making the experience both impactful and educational.
Customer service stands out as exemplary. When I inquired about a multi-faith prayer area, the receptionist was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to help me find a suitable space. This attention to visitor needs is appreciated, though having a dedicated multi-faith room would be a valuable addition for the diverse backgrounds of people who visit the arboretum.
Parking cost £6 on my visit, and admission was free. The site also includes a well-stocked gift shop and a spacious restaurant area with indoor and outdoor seating, providing ample options for dining or relaxing. A sunny day enhances the visit, as the grounds are best enjoyed with clear skies.
Highly recommend this as a meaningful and memorable outing!
Toilets: Plenty of toilet including disable ones in the building. Porter potty around to site.

Such an emotional day. We arrived, just as thousands of motorbikes did, for their annual Ride To The Wall. And the day ended with an amazing couple of flyovers by the Lancaster

A beautiful place, the aboritum will be wonderful once the trees are fully grown.
The post WWII memorial was thought-provoking. All those names who give their lives in service.
