A truly wonderful moving experience.<br><br>Plenty to see, so much it's impossible to do it all in a day. Pre-book if you can, they nearly didn't let us in.<br><br>Car parking £4.00 but entrance is free.

Love it here. It's so well kept. There are so many different routes to take. So beautiful. Couple of activities for the children also, along with the play areas.

What a great place. It's really well designed and it's tasteful. Really brings home how free and fortunate we are.

I have a mixed feeling in regards to the National Memorial Arboretum. Whilst it is a lovely place to pay your respects to a range of professions and people, to thank those who fought for us, to remember those who have passed it didn't feel as sober as I had expected.<br><br>Maybe this is the intention and it is designed to be more of a celebration of those we have lost than a sorrow affair. The children's play area for instance felt strange but then it was surrounded with the memories of youngsters who have passed so did, kind of, make sense.<br><br>Overall though it's a must visit. Even if it's just to see every name of those who have fought for this country and, sadly, the huge space left to fill, everyone should visit, it's the least we can do to say, thank you.<br><br>A coffee shop and large canteen is available on site as is a gift shop at the usual prices.<br><br>Parking: There is a pay and display (£4 at time of writing) car park and an overflow car park a couple of minutes from the memorial.<br><br>Accessibility: whilst much of the memorial is on the flat a lot is over grass. A manual wheelchair user would struggle so an electric or scooter on slow speed recommended.

A very special place, sensitively done and full of atmosphere

A place to remember and think about all those who have given their lives for our country during conflicts at home and abroad. Some quite moving monuments and words which express volumes. A large remembrance site so we'll manicured and well kept. Cafe restaurant on site. Free entry, donations accepted.<br>Long walk around the whole site which is all flat but there is a land train with commentary if you don't/can't walk that far.

I've been going to the Arboretum every year since I first discovered it about five years ago. It's so peaceful and relaxing to stroll around on a sunny day. There's always something new to discover as the site is so big. It's not really for children unless they are at an age to appreciate the memorials, or just enjoy a long pleasant walk. The latest renovations are now finished and the cafe is now significantly larger. If you want to park in the main car park, prebooking is recommended, even on weekdays

All at the same time this is a heartbreaking and breathtaking place to visit. So well laid out. The volunteers are invaluable with all the help and knowledge they share, especially Paul (Virgo) is a font of information. Thank you for such a memorable day.
