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.

Very interesting place to visit. I am in a wheelchair at the moment, and we found it easy to get around. There are little trains that can accomodate wheelchairs too, because the area is quite large . There are disabled toilets too , with easy access to the cafeterias also. The monuments were lovely, in lovely gardens too.

We really enjoyed our tour, well worth doing, our guide Keith was brilliant and what made it for us was his passion for D-Day. Very knowledgable and if there was any questions relating to D-Day or the Arboretum he answered them.
The National Arboretum is well worth visiting and try the restaurant food was very good.
Thank you from Nigel, Michelle, Mandy and Graeme.

We weren't intending on visiting, but we'd travelled in the area the previous day and saw the crowds of bikers involved in the Ride To The Wall, and so we felt we ought to go and visit. So, it is really thought provoking and poignant to see all the trees and memorials and puts the loss and sacrifice into context. The central memorial was very touching. The statues were beautiful. We don't have a direct connection to anyone killed in action, but we can appreciate how much that remembrance would mean to the families of service people who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
