I have now visited the NMA on three occasions and each time it does not fail to move me to tears, no one is forgotten. I believe it is a place every single person should visit to honour the sacrifices made by so many for all of us.

What a wonderful tribute to the people who served this country . So tranquil and serene. Staff ( volunteers) are helpful and knowledgeable. Food halls and coffee shops for a break are clean tidy and food is of a good standard . A not to be missed experience .

The day we went was pouring with rain so we couldn't walk about, but there was a land train that took us around for over an hour with a recorded message pointing out places and giving plenty of information, all this for just £6. We are definitely going back again so that we can actually walk around.

We went with a group for our first visit, the grounds are well laid out and have wide paths. We came by coach but they charge for parking a car. You can book a buggie if you have walking difficulties and there is also a train to take you round. We decided to walk round as the weather was lovely and it’s mostly on the level. The train costs £6 and our less nimble friends went on it. We had morning coffee and lunch later, all were fair prices and the lunch was good as you could help yourself to veg and have exactly what you wanted or liked. The shop has lots of choice but is quite expensive, we would have bought things had they been cheaper £2.70 for a small bag of sweets was a bit expensive. Be warned. Print yourself a map off the internet before you go. They sell one at £3 ( rip off price) not all the memorials are on it. An Ariel map with numbers and an index would have been far more useful than a coloured fold out ( and a bit too big on a windy day). Also the train does not cover all the monuments. We wanted to see the shot a dawn memorial and it was only visible through the trees for train riders.
An on off ticket would have been a good idea for people who wanted to stop and take photos, all in all a good day out but could have been better.

An amazing place to visit. Very emotional at times. Lots of walking involved or take the landtrain. Nice cafe and gift shop. Free to enter. The land train is at an additional cost.

We visited for the first time to plan outings for two different groups of retired folk. The manager for groups was extremely helpful, as were all the staff and volunteers we met. It is a vaste and excellent arboretum; well laid out and very accessible. There are some amazing sculptures. I really liked 'Blown Away' inspired by Eliot's Four Quartets, also the RAMC Memorial. The memorials to the Burma Railway and the Sumatra Railway are particularly thought provoking.
You need at least half a day. The facilities are excellent and you can get the train for a quick overview or a buggy for a more in-depth insight. We will be back.

A peaceful and inspiring place to wander around whether or not you have a specific memorial to visit (my dad was a Bevin Boy so that area was a must for us). We had a good weather day for each of our two visits, but you may need decent shoes, brolly etc. Surprising how far you can end up walking (though there is a land train and, I think, mobility scooters) but you can get a tea etc at the excellent visitor centre. Supremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff/volunteers (a big thank you to the lady who pointed out the divide in the wall through which the sun passes at 11:00 on 11/11 - an easily missed feature). Lots of subtle planting themes to look out for, too.
