National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
It's a beautiful place which I am yet to explore fully but as well as being very meaningful it is also just a nice play to go for a walk, have food and relax. They have a cafe with with various options throughout the day. They offer sandwiches, breakfast baps, cakes, soups, full meals, selection of drinks including tea and coffee. I would recommend trying their soups, normally they are delicious.
They hold quite a few events during the year, some for NHS, police, remembrance amongst others.
There is also a train with a guide that seems to be going around the grounds a few times a day.

What an amazing place. Such a tribute to all armed services. Joyful yet sobering.

A very wet a d dreary day but the arboretum was well worth the visit. Free entry but worth noting it is £6 to park your car although with no time limit this is good value.
I recommend the land train which is £7.50 per person but quick orientated you and provides information about the various monuments.
A good day and supports a good cause.

This is somewhere that I feel everyone should visit. I went with other family members and it was an emotional day. It’s a sham we did not visit before. Because we will be visiting again

It is a very impressive place. You can enjoy a walk or take one of the organised tours, perhaps even just take a while to sit and contemplate. Be prepared to go back time and time again.

Beautiful grounds and very moving to see all the remembrance that goes on.
But it is just a lovely place to visit and walk round. Good cafe etc and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.

We recently visited the National Memorial Arboretum and had a lovely day! If you take your time and have a good look round you could easily spend a full day there. It's free to enter but donations are appreciated and there is a parking charge, £6 on the day or £4 if you book in advance. Its a very large site so be prepared to get your steps in, we thought we wouldn't need our pushchairs but ended up going back for them half way through. You can book on a land train tour or a buggy ride around the site as well. There's something for the whole family including a Stick Man trail and small playground for little ones. There's even a little children's library in the cafe which is a really nice touch. The whole site is extremely well kept and is very thought provoking. It's a must see! Overall, a great day and we're already planning to return.

Fabulous visit to a truly beautiful Memorial to the countless service organisations represented in this incredibly well managed and presented facility.
The staff, many appear to be volunteers, can't do enough for you.
The attention and effort to accommodate less able visitors is exemplary. We found the Land Train was a great way to see everything we wanted to.
Well worth a visit.

This is absolutely superb and a must-visit. I went with my elderly mum and it can be a lot of walking so we also did a buggy tour (small fee per person) which I highly recommend. My grandfather fought in the Polish Carpathian Brigade and the Polish memorial is very impressive.

A truly wonderful experience. All the volunteers who I spoke to were very helpful and dedicated to their task . Four hours at the sight were not enough and I shall return. As an 86 year old naval vet there was so much to take in
