First impressions outside is its HUGE!!! Inside the welcome was both knowledgeable and warm. This is a working Church and as well as an interlude for prayer held by the Chaplain there was a communion service held at the High Altar whilst we tourists made our way quietly around this historical monument, parts of which date back to 500 CE. The staff are knowledgeable and enthusiastic without being in the least intrusive. Some of the treasures including the Staffordshire Hoard, were on display and much work is being carried out to areas of the building needing upkeep, but none that made the visit any less worthwhile. The building oozes charm and ancient history as well as some modernity showing how the Church is more than just stones and pews but a living force in this part of middle England. The Chapter House with the Book of St Chad has to be seen and John, the volunteer, is both enthusiastic and well versed in the history of this amazing book.

Walked around this building when we visited the town and it is a truly magnificent sight. The details of the building and the glass windows are a sight to see. Well worth a visit.

I have been here 4x now and I am still finding new areas. It is the most beautiful and tranquil place I have ever been too.
It isn’t just about the Armed Services it has areas for everything I could think of, but some of the Armed forces areas move me to tears.
The beauty of the Arboretum is you do it at your own pace, there is no one saying move along or anything like that. Some areas have permanent displays “The Shot at Dawn” and the “Burma Railway” are especially moving.
The beauty of the Arboretum is that there are so many areas left with natural wild flowers for the bees and butterfly’s.

We visited in the aftermath of Storm Franklin and some parts of the arboretum were not accessible due to flooding. Despite this, I enjoyed my visit. There is plenty to see and reflect upon and it is well laid out and easy to naigate. We plan to visit again in the future.
