I visited yesterday with my parents and Aunty . It's a wonderful place of remembrance . A wreath laid by the wall made us all emotional . It was for a 21year old soldier killed last year in Afghan : it was from his three week old daughter he never met !!!
The whole area is worth a visit (using the train makes it easier) as every part of the arboretum is amazing and a real credit to everyone who works there .

Can't wait to go back. I understand a lot of work has been done since my visit including the cafe area.
Such a very interesting day anyway. Particularly moved by the memories in the Japanese section.
So very well worth a visit for everyone, including school children.

My wife and myself visited the site on a very busy Sunday, we found a large car park near the welcome centre. On entering we were greeted by a very polite and enthusiastic member of staff who explained how we could see the whole park and find all the areas of interest to us.
We took a ride on the land train
( To be recommended ) which takes you around the full park with commentary so not to miss anything.
After our ride we set off on foot to spend moor time in the areas that meant something to us.
Even though there is a lot of work going on at the moment 14/2/2016 the park is still a beautiful and peaceful area.
Most of the pathways look to be in good condition and there seems to be plenty of ramp access for disabled visitors.
We had our lunch in a temporary restaurant, the food was hot and tasty and I believe the whole experience will improve when the building work has finished. The plans looked great !
We are looking forward to revisiting the Arboretum in the future when next in the area
We highly recommend a visit.

This is a little gem, with so much past history that we may tend to forget about. The dedication on how this place is run and the events that take place is amazing. On a more sombre note, the exhibition on how POW's in WWII were treated is just sobering and your hearts go out to them all. Such an informative place.

I called in just to see what it was all about, I have no real affinity with the military and war but found this whole thing quite moving. It is a respectful and dignified way of celebrating the lives of so many lost souls .

We had a lovely visit to National Memorial Arboretum, was nice to walk around and reflect. Is impressive the use of space and sections. Will be good when the new visitor centre is completed later this year.

We had been told a lot of good things about this place and decided to visit. We were not disappointed what an amazing and emotional place. It was very moving seeing all the artefacts from all the various conflicts and the areas of memorial to each conflict including different nationalities who served. Of particular interest is part of Burma railway and the history related to it. There is a train which takes you round for a small charge with very informative commentary. There is no admission charge just a car parking fee which is very reasonable. The gardens are beautiful and extremely well maintained. The restaurant has a good range and staff are helpful. All the staff around the area were helpful and informative.

I have visited the National Memorial Arboretum several times. It never fails to touch me. Ever changing, new memorials being added. Too much to take in in a day. Staff friendly and professional. Good restaurant and shop. Free entry, you are asked to make a donation. Car parking charges. Check before you go. In case there is a service or special occasion being remembered.
