The National Arboretum is well worth a visit.The grounds are excellent and well kept. The cooked. food in the restaurant is very good. I would recommend using the "train" around the site to see
most of the memorials, you can then chose which memorials to visit.I recommend a second visit would be needed to see all the memorials as the site is vast. There is no entry fee, but a donation would be appreciated.

Amazing humbling and emotional. staff are helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The land train tour is well worth it. Had 2 course Sunday lunch at onsite restaurant which was delicious and good value. Would recommend a visit. A worthy tribute and memorial to all those who have served and sacrificed.

Helpful staff and impressive and respectful siting of monuments to military and civil forces and arenas of war. A road train for small cost can take visitors around the huge site. There is a well stocked gift shop and restaurant.
Though close to Lichfield please note there is no bus route direct from Lichfield.

What an excellent place to visit, we spent more than 2 hours walking round the Arboretum & still didn't see everything, gives us an excuse to go back. Lovely visitor centre, friendly, helpful staff.The food in the restaurant was really good & not overpriced like a lot of places.

We were welcomed in even for the last 20mins of Sunday service. So glad we did.
This is a truly epic sized cathedral and architecturally stunning. The outside is a feast for the eyes and could not possibly disappoint.
Highly recommend a visit.
Plenty of amenities within the square, shop, restaurant and toilets.

A thought provoking space, well laid out. Beautiful memorials and sculptures. Free entry made possible by visitors using the gift shop, coffee shop & restaurant etc. Can spend the whole day enjoying the arboretum and indoor exhibition. Great place to re visit in different seasons.

Great place to visit, you could probably see everything in half a day, plenty of memorials to see & read, the wall is most impressive, positioned on top of large mount & visible through out the arboretum, there is a large restaurant & gift shop, parking is £3 for all day.
The day I went there was a Spitfire on display.

Good place for a walk and to look at the memorials. Also great for kids, with two playgrounds and excellent café and restaurant. Free to enter and reasonable parking fee. It's worth keeping an eye out for drive-it-day, in April, where hundreds of classic cars are displayed in the arboretum (no additional charge).

This is a fantastic place. Huge amount of history to explore, it would take a good few hours to look at every single thing here! Well maintained with friendly and helpful staff. Big open restaurant, could find a seat and queues were not bad even on quite a busy day.

Amazing site, I had no idea of the number or variety of memorials, from the huge Armed Forces memorial down to the individual trees dedicated to stillborn children. All very touching & thought provoking. Beautifully kept & organized. Food at the restaurant excellent, sensibly priced & friendly & helpful staff all across the site.
