I could write an essay,i could write a whole list of positives but how can you judge a place of memorial to the brave. A location with no fee but donations are welcome to keep the grounds as immaculate as they are.A visit to the NMA is simply inspiring and puts life's little niggles into perspective. Walk around the grounds, read the plaques and appreciate the brave fallen soldiers that gave you the freedom to do so.

Covers a huge area, beautifully landscaped and humbling in it's content. We used the land-train which tours the whole area slowly with an interesting commentary, ideal way to get an overall impression of this vast site before walking around the individual memorials.
Toilets are spotlessly clean, a restaurant as well as smaller stands serving drinks and snacks.
The whole place has a peaceful atmosphere and the staff are helpful and friendly.
You need more than one visit to see everything.

Been here twice now and found new parts of it each time. Really enjoyed exploring and walking along the river, learning about a lot of British history that I didn't know previously. A though provoking place but with the sun shining and kids playing - a happy one as well, I didn't find it at all sombre. Well worth a visit. Cakes in the coffee shop are good too...

Yesterday we went with two friends to above attraction out fourth visit their first.the Arboretum is a wonderful site to wonder round, very tranquil but has a very serious but interesting side.i must vist for everyone just so we rember the past and all the sacrifices made.beautiful kept but really needs more than one day to get round.they have a land train you can go round on and you can pay more for a buggy tour.£ 3.00 car parking but no entrance fee but rely on donations a very worthy cause.

Wow, what an interesting day out. Amazing place. So many memorials to so many military units, groups, clubs, associations. Did the train ride in morning and booked the buggy tour in afternoon, so much to see, do it all if you can.

Easy to find and parking is very good at £3. There are many volunteers working very hard here and they are all so friendly and very helpful. Sadly the Armed Forces Memorial was closed off to the public for some much needed renovation, so cannot comment, but will return to see it. The arboretum is spread over a very large area so be warned and wear comfortable walking shoes! Also, the WW1 trench is right at the edge of the Site! It is well signposted but the signs could do with indicating how farcyou have to walk! Very hard going in hot or rainy weather. There is a wonderful road train that take you around most of the site and the information on all of the memorials is really good. Finally the food There is of a good standard. A good 4 hours spent.

I visited with my parents and a beautiful sunny day. Easy to find, clearly signed and parking is only £3. The arboretum is very flat which makes it a comfortable stroll, although there are land trains available if required. It is very tranquil, well maintained and a fitting tribute. I would recommend a visit.

Having visited on numerous occasions it never fails to impress! Grows and expands which is so nice to see. Free to visit apart from parking so more to spend in the gift shop and cafe and of course to leave a donation! I love it here!

A vast area with multiple memorials to many campaigns. Enthusiastic knowledgeable guides
A touching tribute to many brave souls both military and civilian. New resturant under construction. Land train ride with commentary worth a go. Mostly flat if you like a walk also.
Free entry with voluntary contribution to royal British Legion who run it.
