Really enjoyed our visit. I would definitely recommend the Road Train as there are so many memorials to see.it was definitely worth the £6 for the one hour trip with commentary. There are so many new memorials since our last visit ten years ago.

September 2017. Here we are again and what a difference. A whole new frontage, shop, reception desk and atrium. A lovely, large airy restaurant. Greeted at the entrance by RBL volunteers. Out to a grand plaza and into the Memorial Arboretum grounds. Another few hours spent in wonder, contemplation and enjoyment of the beauty. No entrance fee but donations are ever-welcome. Large car park (with overspill a few yards further along the road) is only £3 per day. Time and money well-spent.
My wife and I stopped here on our way to the Peak District. We intended to stay for just and hour and ended up spending two-and-a-half hours. The spacious entrance area has leaflets and a cafe giving lovely views into the Arboretum. Although a place of memorials, this is not a sombre place but is, rather, a quiet, thoughtful space. We were delighted with the colour and range of the plants and architecture and the wildflower meadows were breathtaking. I wanted to visit the Royal Tank Regiment Memorial (my brother served in 4th RTR) and The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Memorial (my brother-in-law and my nephews were - and still are - volunteers).
This is a beautiful place to visit and all are welcome.

Amazing place, with beautiful walks and amazing memorials. Sculptures are really good, and very atmospheric. Sad to see so many names remembered.

The NMA is a beautiful dedication to those that will not be remember in a corner of a foreign field. It is wonderfully kept in tribute to that sacrifice.
It is easily accessable to wheelchair users, however there are few seats and no shelters if it rains. There is no obvious plan to the layout so you will need to ask someone where your dedication is.
All that said it is still a humbling place, perfect for paying your respects to family, friends and colleagues.
