This was our first visit. We didn’t know quite what to expect but I suppose we anticipated that the site would be mainly a war memorial. In fact there is much more to the site than this. The Armed Forces Memorial is the biggest memorial and is very impressive. But there are over 400 memorials located across a large site. Some of the memorials are for civilian organisations, which we hadn’t expected.
The NMA can be quite busy but the site is large enough so that you can find peace and quiet and an opportunity to be alone with your thoughts. There are some nice woodland walks and the area beside the river Tame is very peaceful.
The site is well laid out and the visitor reception has all the facilities you would expect including a restaurant and exhibition spaces.
When a war memorial becomes a visitor attraction this left us with a slightly uneasy feeling but I think we have to live with this. If anything the NMA is a victim of its own success.

We travelled to the Arboretum at the invitation of the Royal British Legion. Ever since it opened we had meant to go, but had never set aside the time. After a morning of RBL activity they gave us the opportunity to tour the site on the Land Train. This takes about an hour and gives you an overview of the site and what is out there to visit.
We rapidly came to the conclusion that a day would not be enough to really get to grips with the Arboretum. Two days would be our estimate of a full visit. That said if you have no connection with the UK Armed Forces or emergency services then a few hours would probably do the trick. It is astonishing how many different memorials have been put up since the Arboretum opened. The site is still expanding as Tarmac extract quarry materials and then hand over land to the Arboretum to expand. The atmosphere is very peaceful and moving. You cannot help but feel moved by the site and the memorials, both organisational and personal.
The facilities are second to none. Toilets are spread around the site and the central hall has a restaurant. For those looking for a conference venue the conference centre is superbly equipped and the catering is excellent.
This is a must visit site for anyone with an ounce of humanity.

Immensely thought provoking. Lovely place, free to roam around at your own pace with hundreds of memorials of different sizes / shapes - formal memorials as well as trees planted.
A must for anyone in the area.
