A fitting tribute to our Brave armed forces 🌄

A good place to contemplate although the £6 parking came as a bit of a surprise, although the entry is "free" it is a shame the closest public transport is across a busy A38 duel carriageway, I do hope Alrewas opens a halt on the mainline if passenger service is resumed on a regular basis
Toilets: Full on changing places in the entry building, as well as a few portaloos around the site

If you want somewhere to go to switch off from the world or somewhere to go to contemplate everything this is the place. It's quiet and peaceful, poignant and eye opening. To take it all in will take more than one visit but well worth it!

This was included in our National Holidays coach tour. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We spent 3 hours here and the train ride was about 45 minutes long. It was a relaxing ride on the train and very interesting.
We then disembarked and walked around the site on our own. It was a lovely, peaceful place and I would recommend it as somewhere to come for quiet reflection.
To see all of the memorials I think more than 3 hours may be needed. But it's a lovely place to honour those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
I didn't notice any memorials dedicated to animals of war. I wonder if there is one?
If I am ever in the area again I will definitely pay another visit.

Friendly staff, amazing venue. Will be coming back soon to take more of it in. The kids loved the Stick Man trail.

Absolutely breathtaking

What an incredible place. Firstly, it absolutely blew my mind how big it is! You will need a full day if you want to explore all of it! As a veteran myself, it was particularly poignant, seeing the memorials and indeed, the names of men I knew was very touching. I would recommend everyone visit here at least once, and stand and remember those who have gone before and given their lives for our freedoms.

A lovingly looked after collection of memorials to all those that died fighting for peace during and after World War II. Dogs are very welcome but need to be kept on a short lead and off any memorials themselves, especially the main memorial with cenotaph.
Parking is £6.
Restrooms: Very clean toilet facilities
Dog-friendliness: Dogs on a short lead are welcome, but are not permitted on the main memorial.

Found a place which is accessible for my grandma who is in a wheelchair. We managed to use the land train, toilets, cafe and even the large monument that has stair access but also a path to allow wheelchairs. All workers that we spoke to were friendly and helpful. It’s also lovely that dogs are allowed to visit. Will be returning with my dog next time 😃

I feel embarrassed to say that it was my first time visiting the Arboretum. But I can say without fear of contradiction if you ever get a chance to visit, you definitely won't be disappointed. But make sure you get there early as you'll need most of the day to see all the monuments 5*

My 2nd visit here. It’s sad to see the names on the main monument being added, but what a beautiful place. It’s a poignant reminder of history and what we shouldn’t be repeating, of the sacrifices made by our heros in many walks of life.
The land train looked a good way to get around whilst receiving a commentary.

A very well managed site with excellent signage, helpful and friendly staff and volunteers. ‘Free’ , although car park charges, charges for mobile scooters and land train made it a fairly expensive visit. Land train has informative commentary.
The only negative was the expensive and not particularly exciting lunch, which I regretted buying immediately. Restaurant was expensive overall.
The visit was extremely poignant and thought provoking.

Visited today. We really enjoyed our visit - interesting and thought provoking within a beautiful, restful environment. Really helpful staff and volunteers. A special mention to Martin (volunteer) who helped us locate particular memorials of special interest to us.
