In October 2017, Denartes said about National Memorial Arboretum
Went here over the weekend and found it a fascinating place to visit.Thete are 150 acres and 300 memorials to see. There is a land train with commentary which will take you round which costs £6 And it's well worth going on this and maybe choosing a few memorials to visit in greater detail.There is a lovely restaurant serving decent price meals and snacks. The cost of admission is £7.50 or £6 for concessions
A place well worth a visit

A beautiful time to visit on a bright sunny crisp day where a bowl of hot soup in the restaurant is welcoming after a lovely walk on flat even paths. The memorials are thoughtfully laid out with my personal favourite being the recent addition of the Women's Land Army & Timber Corp. The £3 all day parking charge and free entry makes it exceptional value day out.

For £3 parking you could spend more than a day here. We caught a little train that shows you 70% of the grounds. It was very moving and we had a lovely day. I have recommended it to everyone I speak to about it. We also ate in the restaurant which has a lot of choice and it is great value for money. The staff are amazing and very helpful and professional. I will definitely return for another visit.

First trip to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire dedicated to the men and women who have lost their lives in conflict since the Second World War. Much bigger than I expected. Very well designed. Beautiful grounds even on a very cold, grey, windy, and for the latter part wet, March day. Good restaurant too. Well worth a visit. Grounds will be even better in the summer.

Such a beautiful place for a lovely stroll around the beautiful countryside and memorials.
Free to get in. Only have to pay for parking which is cheaper if you pay online before you arrive.
We even went over the river up to the quarry. Not a sole in sight. Lovely to see the wildlife.
All staff very friendly and helpful.
Nice restaurant, good quality food at reasonable prices.
We will be back in the summer to see it in all its glory.

An important part of our culture as a nation, the Arboretum is a must visit for everyone, young and old. Our children love exploring and reading the monuments, finding out more information about the different regiments and people - something that makes me immensely proud.
Restrooms: Clean and tidy, easy to find
Picnic area: Lovely spots to eat your own picnic, but there is a restaurant and a coffee bar too

I was very lucky to see a memorial service for the AGC on the day I went.
I would say this place is a must visit location for anybody who enjoys the freedoms that we have, and remember the sacrifices that others have made for it.
The restaurant onsite is very reasonably priced, and has fantastic quality.
The entire site is maintained to the highest standards, and the staff could not be more helpful.
Restrooms: Fantastic cleanliness.

We had a lovely day. Went on the train, which was great for my parents and aunty as they struggle to walk far. Took mom's mobility scooter. But could of hired one. The commentary on the train was good. Had food in the restaurant which was lovely, only downside was, it would be better if there could be some sort of menu on table as I had to run back to the tables to check what my parents wanted. Couldn't fault the staff though. Will be returning again.

A memorable visit. The land train was an excellent way to see the site and pick out areas to walk back to after. We ate in the restaurant where the food was well presented and good quality. On our arrival the gentleman directing you into the car space was quite rude and was commented on by a number of people. Thankfully this ' not so welcome customer service' was not perpetuated anywhere else during our visit.
