Stopped at The National Memorial Arboretum we just saw the sign for it as we were driving up north so we decided to stop stretch our legs and have a look, we were glad we did visit it was very interesting and emotional seeing all the memorials to our Armed forces and lots of other organisations well worth a visit

Amazing, brilliant, emotional, humbling, beautiful and sad all at the same time. Lots of space to walk around, ALL OF IT ACCESSIBLE, so many things and memorials to see. We had 6 hours and did so much but are sure there were still a couple of bits we missed.
Great toilets, coffee shop, restaurant and shop on site.
Grab a map to make your way around. It wasn't too busy mid week but there's so much space. Being a picnic if you want to sit and reflect by the river.
There is everything remembered from HMS Repulse, to the Wrens garden, Falklands, Twin Towers, Gurkhas. Sikhs, fire service, WW1 and 2, Land Army, and too much more to mention.
Just fantastic!
Playground: There are at least two playgrounds that we saw, all very good and well maintained
Restrooms: Very clean and wheelchair accessible
Dog-friendliness: Dogs allowed, on leads
Picnic area: Eat by the river or there are hundreds of benches or places to sit and picnic

Well signposted. Need to pre-book to avoid overcrowding, facilities include shop, cafe, chapel, toilets all accessible. Free but donation welcome. Large open site with many small memorials and plenty of education points, extensive formal and informal planting plus nature conservancy. Can be very emotional so take some tissues.
