National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Didn't know what to expect, but the site was much bigger than I imagined. We started out on the land train, for which you pay a small fee. It's worth doing as you get a commentary and a feel for the site, and some idea of where you might want to go. Had a drink and cake in the cafe, which is reasonably priced and very good cake. Then set out to wander. Our aim was to reach the Police Memorial via a circuitous route, then back along the river, before turning inland to the National Army memorial, which we comfortably achieved. Plenty of seats, plenty of birds, lots to look at.

Absolutely wonderful place with the most beautiful scenery and memorials. It's very reminiscent of Arlington cemetery which was always a place that stuck with me after visiting there. Was anxious about going with young kids, but they have very cleverly built 2 trails into the site, one free (stickman) and one paid (only 2.50 to do a bug trail with a prize at the end). They way they have laid the trails out mean that the adults get to see all of the main memorials, but are engaging enought to keep the kids entertained. We came here hoping to pass a morning and left at 4.30pm! Definitely recommended.

My visit here was the highlight of my week’s holiday. An interesting history, a beautiful and well designed space , inside and out. Lovely planting. So many details have been thought through and it’s very accessible for those with mobility challenges. Wonderful sculptural memorials, bringing together contributions from other nations in support, peace and reconciliation. The memorials are not just for military, for example the charity SANDS has a memorial garden. There is also a conference centre where it seems many groups come together to remember. The staff and volunteers are so helpful and the cafe is good too, with indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are allowed in most of the outdoor spaces. You need at least half a day and then you won’t see it all! It’s free to go in, but parking is £6 or £4 booked in advance. It’s only been open about 22 years .Overall I cannot praise this highly enough. I was happy to make a donation.

The staff are outstanding. The grounds are immaculate, and the coffee isn't bad either. One of our group was taken ill. The staff were amazing, the first aiders were very thorough. It's a great day out with some insired monuments.Visited on

Beautiful, peaceful and at times emotional. The whole area is so well maintained,spent about 3 hours walking around and still don't think we saw everything. Cafe on site, we chose to take a picnic, there are benches everywhere to stop and eat or just take a break. Toilets near the entrance and also very handy portaloos scattered around. Parking is plentiful, £4 if you book online. Any staff we spoke to were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again!

A place you can go back again and again and still not see all, the layout is perfect, lovely and peaceful where you can take it all in, ideal for families to go for a walk and for future generations to learn of the pastVisited on

What a wonderful, peaceful place.
Free entry, £6 parking. You can take a picnic or there's food and drink on the premises, all pretty reasonable.
Dogs are allowed on a leash.
Lovely day out with lots to see.
