National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
We visited this on a quiet January Friday, it wasn't busy with visitors but we still enjoyed the day. It is very much work in progress but still a lot to see,very good for wheelchairs etc,It is a huge place with numerous memorials covering all conflicts,you cannot fail to be moved by the atrocities that mankind have made on mankind.
The far east p.o.w. museum was very moving and interesting,even though we believe it will be good for children i think very small ones will be bored.the cafe was fine but a little pricey for hot drinks in cardboard cups ,(over £2 for small coffee)then again u don't mind so much as it goes to help run the place.well worth a visit

We visited the National Memorial Arboretum as we were staying nearby and it is a place that I defy you not to be moved by. The central hill with the names of those who have their lives for us is beautiful but the statues in the centre are so moving, I had tears in my eyes.
Everyone should visit at least once.

Having served my country it was so nice to see how well the National memorial Arboretum was maintained. They are just building a new visitors Center that will be ready this year. I think when you walk around it lets you reflect and realise just how much others gave for us. It is a very worth while place to go and also for schools to take children so they never forget our past. It has wonderful cafes and a shop that sells Royal British legion memorabilia. Take a trip remember our fallen and let's all learn from the past so the present can be a better place for our children and their children to live.

Definitely worth a visit, it makes a lovely walk with plenty of opportunity to pause and think. The main car park is a little bit of a walk away so check if you're going with anyone who struggles with mobility.

Visited the NMA several times now and always find something different. A remarkable tribute to those who have served and a place that you can visit again and again

A wonderful place to visit for a whole day or just to pop in for coffee. There is something for everyone, trails and clues for children. A road train for those with mobility problems ( and those that like the ride). The 'Shot at Dawn' memorial is visited as part of the schools' GCSE syllabus and moves me to tears every time. The history is amazing. My Dad found a memorial to his boy entrants from over 59 years ago, he cried to read the names, he didn't know it was there.
The scenery and peace is breathtaking a wonderful place to walk everyday, and any day.
There is also a reasonably priced gift shop and restaurant. I pop in there while my car is serviced or MOT'd by Neale at Alrewas motors, another excellent service on my doorstep.

We spent two half days visiting the Memorial, we could have spent longer if we wanted to. There is more to this than meets the eye and well worth a visit to make you realise that there are memorials for those who were a part of conflict that you wouldn't have though of.

I could spend days at a time here and always find something new on each visit. As an ex-serving soldier of 23 years I'm glad we have a place like this.....

I know if you are not in the military then it seems an odd place to visit but actually I went with my mum and we really found it interesting and moving in an unexpected way. There is a lot more to do and see then you might have expected and some of the memorials take your breath away and provide some incredible history and insights. well worth a visit of half a day.

An emotional place, which really made you reflect and feel grateful about your life. Emotional yet thoroughly worth the visit to pay your respects to the soldiers that fought for your country.

Always an emotional journey as you realise the diversity of those who have given service & often their lives for us and our families.

Beautiful and moving place. So much to see, and so many tragic stories. There are also some non-military memorials, for example, still-born children, road deaths, the RNLI. It needs more than one visit to see everything.

Went last year for rttw ride to the wall about 10 000 bikers went to show there support and respect for our men and women who have gave there lives for this counrty and others if you get the time to go have a loom there is over 300 memorials there and it is free to go. Thay just ask for a littel donation as the national memorial is run by donation and not govement funded. You can all so take your dogs if you have one on one of the walks there

A very interesting and moving place for learning, understanding, and reflection. Ex serviceman and civilians alike can benefit from a visit to this amazing tribute to the brave defenders of our democracy over many years.

An amazing place with lots of nice areas for walking. The monuments here are amazing and it really makes you think about life and war. You need a whole day to visit, and then that's not enough. A train can take you around the main paths and golf carts can take you on a personal tour.
