National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
My main reason for visiting regularly is to pay respects to my granddaughter in the Sands (stillborn and neonatal death syndrome) memorial garden. This is where all the beautiful babies who have been lost and gone too soon, are remembered by their loved one's 😢💔
I also walk around and visit the other memorials, where I find the grounds provide a tranquil environment in which you can spend time to self reflect. The grounds are kept in good condition and the staff are pleasant and helpful.
I recommend pre-booking on line for £4, rather than paying £6 on the door.

Fabulous day out with our 5 year old granddaughter who was fascinated with all the memorials and finding her great great uncle's name on the wall.

It's a visit that everyone should do at least once in their lives. Excellent staff and beautiful grounds.

A very moving experience for us all. We were fortunate to have the assistance of Mark who took us up to the main memorial in a golf cart as there is a long ramp to negotiate with a wheelchair. Mark gave us an insight into many interesting facts about the Arboretum which were not immediately apparent and really enhanced our visit. Totally wheelchair accessible with excellent washrooms. Electric buggies and a train available to get around for folk with limited mobility. There is a very modern building with a lovely cafe and gift shop.

Worth a visit to admire the tremendous collection of fitting memorials that are spread out over beautifully manicured gardens. Easily make a day to take in the full extent of the display and truly worth the time.

What a great place - spent almost the whole day here. really lovely memorials to the fallen since the Second World War. Covers not only the armed services but various other organisations as well such as the Police Force, Fire Brigade etc.
This is where you will find the Shot at Dawn memorial to all those wrongly executed in the Great War.
All day place and great facilities - try the scone with butter and jam.

A wonderful place and a whole lot bigger than i expected. A pleasure to walk around and view the various memorials, including a stretch next to the river too. Grounds immaculate and buildings and exhibition very modern. Cafe spacious with a great selection of food and drink. Staff really, really friendly and helpful. Plenty of toilets and all modern. Parking plentiful and we booked online parking prior to visiting. It is £2 extra to park if you pay on the day. Entry to the Arboretum is free and i am amazed that there is not an entry fee for this as i'm certain they'd still get many visitors. We left a donation. A fantastic place to visit if you want to reflect, enjoy a walk and enjoy the peace and quiet. Really easy to find just a mile off the A38.

The memorial gardens are incredible, a place to reflect in an absolutely beautiful setting.
The main Forces Memorial Wall at the centre is breathtaking it has a real sense of serenity and total peace.
Definitely worth a visit

Really did not have enough time to visit it all .. thought provoking inside ... huge area outside .. would had been easier if there had been a paper plan of where everything was .. and more detail about some of the memorials too ..

I was absolutely amazed at the size of the National Memorial Arboretum. The Armed Forces Memorial was incredible to see first hand and is such a stunning memorial for all of serving members of the Armed Forces who have died on duty. It really has to be seen first hand. Pictures wouldn't do it justice. Some of the other Memorial statues were simply amazing, the Parachute Regiment statue was so meticulous in detail. As an ex service member i found it heartbreaking to see the Basra and Afghanistan Memorial walls, conflicts from my time in service. If you really want to explore the National Memorial Arboretum please spend a whole day going around as the Memorials are located all over. The Map doesn't show all of them. Parking is cheaper if you book in advance at £4. Its £6 if you turn up on the day. Hope this helps.

An absolute amazing place which ever one should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is such a beautiful place and is a absolute credit to the war fallen down the years. It is free to visit but like me we should all leave a good donation to help keep in going. You have to pay for the car park which is £4 if pre-booked on line and £6 if you pay when there. All in all i can't emphasize the need to visit this beautiful place.
