Everybody should visit this memorial site. It is beautiful. It enables all to understand more about the sacrifices of services such as army, baby, airforce, RNLI, police. It also has memorials to others such as SANDS. Each is set in beautiful gardens with lots of seating.

The huge central memorial wall is amazing. Adk a guide to explain it to understand it more.

Free to enter, pay for car park, land train.
Playground for children.
It is a huge place so allow at least half day.

Lots to see, you need plenty of time, benches everywhere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Train
journey and commentary very good if you cannot walk very far. Restaurant ok, but some meals take a while to arrive but good value. Parking well organised and managed by attendants. Opportunity to pay respect to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

National Memorial Park is a truly unique and remarkable destination, brimming with stunning monuments that captivate and inspire visitors. Among these, the monument dedicated to the Polish army stands out as particularly impressive. Its grandeur and historical significance left me completely awestruck, providing a poignant tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Polish soldiers.Additionally, the museum for prisoners of war is an exceptional part of the park. It offers an incredible amount of knowledge, presented in an engaging and informative manner. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, giving visitors a deep understanding of the harsh realities faced by prisoners of war. The experience is both humbling and enlightening, making one appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted.The park also features a delightful café with good coffee and friendly staff, making for a pleasant break during your visit. The overall atmosphere is one of reverence and gratitude, providing a powerful perspective on the sacrifices made by so many for the peace we enjoy today.National Memorial Park is a must-visit for anyone seeking to connect with history and honor the memory of those who gave their lives for our freedom. Forever grateful for this profound experience.

An incredibly humbling experience. Anyone considering war as a route to piece should go to visit the National Memorial Arboretum and see what war means.

Great place to visit. Relaxing and enjoyable. We went with a baby and really enjoyed the stick man trail.
Dog-friendliness: All dogs welcome. There are only restrictions for the big war memorial and they need to be on lead.

We had a buggy ride with ‘lovely Clive’ as our guide. He was so well informed that we were able to fully appreciate the symbolism and beauty of the Arboretum. We came away overawed by the huge sacrifice of those who died to keep us safe.
