National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Visited the memorial after passing a sign. Was beautiful, so peaceful. Thought it would be very formal, but not at all. Beautiful grounds, with memorials for everyone in a great variety of jobs, and organizations, i had never considered.Although sad, it was a fitting tribute to all. There was a lovely cafe and information centre as well. It was a very cold day, and we did not see some of it, and will be returning when the weather warmer !

What a humbling experience to visit the site. I was able to pay respect at the RUC garden and remember members of my family who had fallen in the Great War. Tranquil and respectful I hope I can return one day.

Combined remembrance with a lovely place to wander. Central Memorial is lovely. Has a great little cafe for lunch or just for coffee. Well worth a visit...

A lovely space which gives a fitting tribute to those who have given there lives in the service of others. One feels very humble in the presence of such courage. The NMA is a managed space that provides the perfect setting for hundreds of memorials that tell stories of service to this nation most have forgotten. Everything from peace keeping to disaster relief and including "official" conflicts.
Make sure you have plenty of time to experience the tranquility of the NMA, we will have visit again.

We came to visit the Arboretum a few weeks ago on a cold Sunday. It is easy to find but tucked away from daily life in a pretty quiet peaceful area. Entry is free, all day car parking costs £3 and a donation can also be given towards the running of the facilities.
There weren't too many visitors when we came but people were still coming on a day with poor weather. It's difficult to describe the feeling when entering as there are so many memorials to to different services.
There are a lot of staff and volunteers around to help along with a large restaurant and smaller coffee shop and a gift shop.
During the spring and summer it is easy to spend the better part of a day here, wandering around the grounds looking at the different memorials and spotting different wildlife but winter and autumn can still offer at least half a day exploring.
The arboretum is a real eye opener and gives a scary wake up call and visualisation of the lives lost during war time.

Very heart warming and serene place. You will spend many hours here to see every thing. Unfortunately since refurb the reception area is not very welcoming we have always donated when we visit but now they steer you toward tills with a recommended donation of 5 pounds . Well that means they get less from us now..

Fantastic place with so much history. Allow yourself a full day there to be able to see everything. The staff are extremely helpful and informative. There's also a Land Train which provides an excellent opportunity for those who struggle with walking to see everything. It has brilliant spoken commentary too. Parking costs are reasonable for a whole day and the restaurant and shop have plenty to offer too. It's a must visit for all ages.
