National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Five of us visited the Arboretum this week, having booked an afternoon tour with cream tea. What an amazing afternoon, in spite of the inclement weather. Our guide, Tony M spent at least an hour and a half driving us round the immaculate grounds in a covered buggy. We visited many memorials where he explained in detail the history and meanings of each one and future plans. We then had a lovely cream tea in the restaurant when Tony described some of the memorials we had missed because we ran out of time. An excellent afternoon, which we hope to repeat. Thank you Tony.

Regimental commemoration day, great day, remembering formation of Airborne forces.

I really feel everyone should visit here at least once. It gives perspective to the sacrifices which have been made and continue to be made so we are able to live the lives we lead. Having said that, the site is vast with hundreds of monuments and new features are constantly being added so no one single visit will ever be enough. Exceptionally moving and humbling.

A most enjoyable visit despite the rain. The volunteers could have not been more friendly and helpful. Because of the rain we opted for the land train and buggy trip so did not do a great deal of walking. Which means we will have to visit again to see those areas we missed yesterday. A very moving experience.
The coffee shop and restaurant were very good and a lot cheaper than Kew Gardens.

Thought provoking, you don't realise what one does in service or life for the sake of others. a very organised place to visit.
Also roast dinner and cream tea were lovely, surprised how good the food was and price.
And many people with dogs.
If you go for the day, with lots of food and drinks to purchase .
Good toilets and organised parking also.
And not forgetting the staff who do a really fantastic job providing a great service, very helpful polite and some very funny thanks to all the staff for what you do!!
Worth a Visit 😉👍

I was very lucky to see a memorial service for the AGC on the day I went.
I would say this place is a must visit location for anybody who enjoys the freedoms that we have, and remember the sacrifices that others have made for it.
The restaurant onsite is very reasonably priced, and has fantastic quality.
The entire site is maintained to the highest standards, and the staff could not be more helpful.
Restrooms: Fantastic cleanliness.

Fabulous. First visit. Won't be too long before going back.
Dog-friendliness: I'm not anti Dog.. But why do they have to be in the Cafe.. Plenty of outside seating and space available.
Shame.

A beautiful tranquil place where you can either take a tour on a little train or wander around on your own. Beautifully kept grounds with amazing and appropriate memorials. All staff encountered were really friendly and helpful.
Restrooms: Restrooms had plenty of facilities and were spotlessly clean.

Can't say anymore, other than we had a excellent time here. Would truly recommend a visit but alow a day to get round all the memorials.

Another five-star review! Highly recommend a visit but not really suitable for dragging the kids around. Get the 'road train' or take a walk. The centrepiece memorial, listing the names of those lost since WW2, is very moving, particularly with the blank panels for future conflicts. Also very moving is the 'Shot at Dawn' memorial. There are so many memorials here it's mind-boggling.

Restrooms: Plenty of toilets very clean.

Living abroad, this was one of the places I wanted to visit, having never had the chance whilst living in the uk. It's a really nice place to visit, very peaceful and full of interesting memorials to see. Just be prepared to walk a long way.
