This is a very special place for me and so many people. I’ve been here for so many events and occasions, but still my favourite thing to do is either come on a normal day, and have a walk.

Whether it’s to reflect, relax or to just look around at the vast amount of memorials on this huge site… it’s perfect for solos, partners, families and dog walkers too.

Also has a nice little exhibition hall just off the entrance behind the reception area, plus there is the restaurant and on site gift shop.

Perfect!

It's such an amazing place. It's a place to remember how the armed forces make the ultimate sacrifice for us to live the lifes we do. I will be coming back as there is so much to see.

I found myself overwhelmed by the sacrifice which people have made for their country through the ages.

Restrooms: These were clean and pleasant for use.

Dog-friendliness: Our dog walked with us and waited while we read the information about the memorials. It was a hot day and it would have been useful to have bowls of water at points, such as the toilets or litter bins.

Outstanding dedication to our fallen heroes. The Shot at Dawn, brings to mind how the world has changed. The memorial is thought provoking.
We spent the day at the NMA. The restaurant serves amazing fresh home cooked food, and amazing deserts. Ceoliac heaven!! Truly delicious. The restaurant staff are very kind, caring and compassionate.
Car park is not free, but you can prebook for reduced rate. Cannot understand why people complain. It is a charity!!! Where else can you take a whole family and pet for Free!!! Everyone should support the NMA. It is a beautiful place. A national treasure. Thank you.

We hadn’t planned a visit here but as we stayed next door we popped in for a look around. It’s £6 to park your car and entry is free. We found the gardens immaculately cared for and the exhibits deeply moving. Reading the various plaques brings it home to you that many, many, “ordinary” people did some extraordinary things to allow us to live in the peace, freedom and comfort we take for granted today. As we can’t repay that debt, we must continue to remember and keep their exploits alive through venues like this.

Huge respect to the trustees of this site. Go visit and contribute if you are in the area.

This was our first time here so we went for a guided walk. Our guide was Keith, he was so knowledgeable, friendly and showed us round some of the highlights of the arboretum. He told us some of the stories and shot at dawn he explained all about it. Well worth the £5 for the guided walk. We would do it again but go the opposite way.
The cafe was great value for money and all in all we would return and recommend to anyone. Thank you

Booked the car park on line which I thought they would allocate me a space.
Got there and they directed me to car park B
So why book on line ?
Otherwise in the reception etc was OK

Easy access from motorway, plenty of parking though booking a space is recommended. Free entry, toilets, shop and cafe. Exhibitions, wheelchair accessible. Explore by yourself 9r take the road train.
Amazing experience, so peaceful and moving.
