National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
It's been a little while since we last visited here but we have been several times.<br>The Arboretum is a haven of tranquility & a beautiful place to remember and reflect. Whether about lost souls in battle, those currently serving or loves ones generally. Especially in our world's strange times.<br>All the memorials are immaculately kept.<br>To find your way around the arboretum, though there are lots of waymarkers, I think it's essential to buy the guide book.<br>I also makes an excellent umbrella when it rains!!

Absolutely amazing! This was a very humbling place to visit and there were a couple of suprises as we walked around. I don't think we have covered all of it and we were there for about 6 hours! Only thing I would recommend are a few more picnic tables rather than just benches.

Free entry, just pay for parking. Set aside several hours to cover the whole site.

What a beautiful, thought provoking place to visit. Lovely and peaceful and so much thought and care put into the memorials. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, particularly with my dad who struggles with his walking. Everywhere was so well kept and immaculate and a fitting tribute.

I would highly recommended the National Memorial Arboretum to visit and pay your respects. It is a beautiful location and so respectful. Right from our arrival in the car park, which was scheduled due to Covid guidelines, the attendants there were so friendly and polite, and I can say the same about every single member of staff encountered throughout our visit.
We visited both the restaurant and the coffee bar and all food and drink was nice. There is also a shop and toilet facilities.
The location is absolutely full of memorials. We visited on a very sunny day and it was very peaceful to walk down 'The Beat' with memorials and trees planted by police forces in the UK. It is such a serene place, with clearly marked pathways and benches to sit and reflect.
The Shot at Dawn memorial is quite harrowing to see when you think about the representation shown there and the story behind this, which is told in interpretation in a nearby shelter. It is important to know this vital history however so the same mistakes are not made again.
Overall, I could not fault anything about our visit. The car park currently costs £4 per vehicle to park and to get in is free, however, donations are recommended and welcomed, of which I believe is necessary because when you see how immaculate the entire place is, it very much relies on donations and is an important part of our history. There is so much hard work that goes into its upkeep. We saw statues being treated and polished while we were there and the landscaping of the grounds is so wonderful and neat.
We will definitely be visiting again. I visited with my mum. We spent around 4 hours in total there but still didn't get round to see everything due to taking time to reflect.

Beautifully arranged memorial in lovely, peaceful grounds with plenty of space for private reflection. Grounds very well kept and welcoming everyone of any age. A fitting tribute to those who have given their lives in any service.

Pleasant afternoon spent in the wide green open spaces of the Aboretum. A very good road train to help you see a lot of the Memorial's, and toilets and coffee/ice cream. Stunning central War memorial.
