National Memorial Arboretum

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We went for one specific memorial out of the 400+ there but ended admiring many, many others. Almost in tears at the powerful "Shot at Dawn" memorial and the huge central Armed Forces memorial reminded me of the ones near the Somme in France. The mix of military and newer civilian memorials was welcome and the individual trees dedicated to specific deaths, including children, were also moving.
Even the stroll along the River Tame - wished we'd seen the otters - added to the tranquility of the whole place. Do go!

I cannot believe I hadn't visited this place sooner.<br><br>I spent a quick couple of hours here - with the aim of remembering friends who passed on our tours of Afghanistan and was astonished at truly how much there is to see here.<br><br>The grounds are impeccably kept and the guides are wonderful welcoming people.<br><br>The central memorial has an eerie silence and when you are told about how it was designed - it makes truly perfect sense.<br><br>I intend to visit again real soon to take as much in as possible.

Attended for an event in one of the conference rooms. Long time since we were here and the place has been dramatically overhauled since we were last here. Entrance building, parking and restaurant were all first class and very clean. Enjoyed our event in the Aspects building where we were served a very nice cream tea. All was, and felt, Covid safe.

A lovely place to remember those no longer with us, and to quietly reflect on those who lost their lives for our freedom.

Wonderful tribute to so many lives lost. We did train trip first which was very informative and then walked around various memorials. Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant was good with reasonable prices. A good educational experience for all ages.

We spent around 4 hours here. A huge site and as well as the memorials there's also large natural areas and wildlife. The volunteers were all friendly and informative. There was a land train and tours available. We gave a donation as it was free entry and £4 to park. A lovely place to visit and also some informative and thought provoking exhibits.
