Have always wanted to visit this Memorial Arboretum and was not disappointed.
It is an amazing experience not only for adults but also for the family members.
A place to pay your respects to all these heroes.
For me it was personal as my Father fought during WW2 with the 6th Armoured Division in North Africa and then onto the Italy campaign and there is a Memorial here for the 1st Army and 8th Army...Desert Rats.
A truly wonderful place.

This is a reflective place which is very respectfully done. This will ensure people who have made the ultimate sacrifice are not forgotten. Definitely worth a visit.

This place deserves 10 stars let alone 5. We visited the masonic area for obvious reasons.......... needed some flowers in there to colour it up, provincial grand lodge are you listening........
We found his relative on the main wall and it was a quiet moment of reflection of all those who we have lost to conflict in the past years. May they rest together knowing we are still checking in on them all
We had a long walk around the site and it's a maze of contributions from all walks of life from the services and affiliated organisations.
The fact a wall is left blank is a stark reminder of those yet to join the group already in place
This place is brilliant. You have to go to visit its not an option to not go

Always a pleasant day out

A very moving experience with over 400 memorials to various military and civilian organisations, you can pay a fee and travel on a "train" with comentry which takes in about 70% of the site.

Excellent visit- moving, interesting, and informative. Beautiful visitor centre, good sandwiches in the cafe, friendly, helpful staff. Lots of activities for children too.
Gave it 4 stars not 5 because the land train is difficult to get into and out if as it has a very high step. On getting in, I jarred my back which has been recovering from injury. If you’re reading this- a small step would be so helpful. After all, many of the visitors are of ‘mature’ years and less agile.

The 11am event in the chapel was a lovely and appropriate start to the visit. Excellent facilities on the site and so much to see and reflect on.
Thanks to all. We will return.

Brilliant displays all around covering all the forces etc. Sadly not looking as great as usual owing to the continuing of the drought that they are in the middle of like most of the country. There were lots of people in attendance and like all of us they are wishing for rain to make it look a bit more appealing and not so dried up as has been rhe problem for some while but this will not change until it rains. There are plenty of cleaning up sessions all around, thanks to the staff and the many volunteers who give their time to help out. Thank you to all those who are involved in keeping this beautiful National Memorial Arboretum up to the best standards in the time of drought.

We spent a day with a guide and a buggy which was a brilliant way to see so much in one day. Our guide Mick had a truly encyclopaedic knowledge of the memorials, their meaning and so many stories along the way. A very interesting and moving experience.
The time flew and we still didn’t manage everything in one day. Probably best to visit at different times of years when the flowers and trees must vary.
Our day also included a two course meal in the cafe which was very good as well

Fantastic place to visit. Came specifically to attend for VJ day ceremony in remembrance of my Pop. We spent a good while in the FEPOW museum yesterday. There are so many stories, very sad to read about what all our grandfather's endured during their time as Far East Prisoners of War, but still fascinating at the same time. There are so many memorials that we spent yesterday and today here, and we still missed out on quite a number of them. We did get as far as seeing the Christmas Truce yesterday. And today we managed up to the Armed Forces memorial then as far round as 'Shot at Dawn'. Today's VJ Day ceremony was very poignant and brought me to tears.
However, this has been a fascinating place to come and visit, a place to remember so many who had suffered. Definitely will be making another trip to visit here, in hopefully the near future, to see the memorials we have missed out on. The NA is free to visit and relies on donations and purchases of guide books to continue to allow us to visit for free, so please make this place a 'must-go-to' for when you're visiting or holidaying in Staffordshire, it is well worth it and more. The volunteers here do a fantastic job, every one of them we spoke to were so nice and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your time and patience. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

If you've never been here I can thoroughly recommend it! Free entry. Car Parking all day for £6.00. Acres and acres to walk around and see the many memorials. Dogs admitted. Good Cafe/Restaurant. Such an interesting place you could revisit time and again.
