We visit this place every time we stay at Wychnor country park, and its never the same twice! It is a beautifully serene place with a very calming feel to it. So much to see, and the cafe is excellent, the gift shop very good, highly recommend a visit to anyone!!

Went here for the first time and had a very humbling experience. Some great memorials around the site. We went on the land train which was a good way of getting round this large arbouretum. The audio on the land train was clear and well presented we didn't feel rushed and had at least 50mins on board. Great value at onky £6.00 per person. Going on the land train you get to see alot of the memorials and that way if you choose to walk back to spend more time at one you can.
Had lunch in the restaurant. Plenty of choice and good quality at reasonable prices. Only £3.00 to park your car for the day bargain!
All in all had a lovely day out here and it would be somewhere I would visit again. To all the staff volunteers and people that donate thank you for keeping this special place open for us all to visit.

A place were all should go to see the sacrifice given to this country's freedom. Free entry to the site there is a car park charge of £3 for the day. However to small on site store inside is closed on a Monday the main shop is open. There is a tour by train but this is expensive.

If you are in the vicinity this is a lovely place to visit. A tranquil and peaceful place to be.<br>There are a couple of shops, a coffee house and a restaurant as well as a Memorial Chapel. The grounds staff work hard to keep this ever growing place immaculate. Visitors who require disabled access are well catered for, with buggies and a small train to take you around the site. Enjoy

Scott Vincent, an Amazing day out at Staffordshires National Memorial Arboretum.
Having some spare time on my hands ahead of the launch date for I.S War on the world I decided to visit the National Memorial Arboretum based just some 20 or miles from my home in Staffordshire.
I have to confess the reason behind the visit was my partner recently found some letters and medals which related to her Granddad who was unfortunate to have had died in the second world war.
Being in the RAF Edward S Williams L/AC was stationed in Singapore and apparently from our research he was captured by the Japanese and moved to a “Hell Ship” Suez Maru which was sunk by friendly fire on 29th November 1943. The far east war is something we never hear much about everything seems to centre around Europe and the second world war.
3700 prisoners died on that tragic day when the USS Bonefish Torpedoed the unfortunate prisoner of war ship.
Putting aside our personal reasons for visiting I have to say it was the most poignant day I have had since visiting the war graves in Ypres some years earlier.
From the moment we stepped into the information centre the organisation was amazing with all the staff conversed on the Arboretum grounds and displays within the 150 Acre site.
My only regret was I didn’t spend the whole day there but I will certainly be going back.
