National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
We hadn’t planned a visit here but as we stayed next door we popped in for a look around. It’s £6 to park your car and entry is free. We found the gardens immaculately cared for and the exhibits deeply moving. Reading the various plaques brings it home to you that many, many, “ordinary” people did some extraordinary things to allow us to live in the peace, freedom and comfort we take for granted today. As we can’t repay that debt, we must continue to remember and keep their exploits alive through venues like this.
Huge respect to the trustees of this site. Go visit and contribute if you are in the area.

This was our first time here so we went for a guided walk. Our guide was Keith, he was so knowledgeable, friendly and showed us round some of the highlights of the arboretum. He told us some of the stories and shot at dawn he explained all about it. Well worth the £5 for the guided walk. We would do it again but go the opposite way.
The cafe was great value for money and all in all we would return and recommend to anyone. Thank you

Booked the car park on line which I thought they would allocate me a space.
Got there and they directed me to car park B
So why book on line ?
Otherwise in the reception etc was OK

This is a truly beautiful place. The garden's are laid out really well
It is a great tribute to all remembered there. The staff are the nicest and most helpful you could wish to meet. The walks are very enjoyable, some quite long. As this was my first visit I didn't realise the scale of the place. There's a very nice restaurant that is by no means over priced and a coffee shop that I didn't get to but will on my next visit. Car parking is easy and fairly priced. Most definitely worth a visit.

Marvellous young trees; couples, families, tinies, cadets, old soldiers; at every turn another story of duty done. A new Stonehenge; a slot in the wall aligns with the sun at 11:00 11/11. The wall of remembrance since 1946 is just half full of names…

Everybody should visit this memorial site. It is beautiful. It enables all to understand more about the sacrifices of services such as army, baby, airforce, RNLI, police. It also has memorials to others such as SANDS. Each is set in beautiful gardens with lots of seating.
Do take the land train ride around as it gives you a view and information about this huge site. Then you can walk to the parts you want to see closer.
The huge central memorial wall is amazing. Adk a guide to explain it to understand it more.
There is a good visitor centre with displays, gallery, shop, cafe.
Free to enter, pay for car park, land train.
Playground for children.
It is a huge place so allow at least half day.

Lots to see, you need plenty of time, benches everywhere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Train
journey and commentary very good if you cannot walk very far. Restaurant ok, but some meals take a while to arrive but good value. Parking well organised and managed by attendants. Opportunity to pay respect to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

National Memorial Park is a truly unique and remarkable destination, brimming with stunning monuments that captivate and inspire visitors. Among these, the monument dedicated to the Polish army stands out as particularly impressive. Its grandeur and historical significance left me completely awestruck, providing a poignant tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Polish soldiers.Additionally, the museum for prisoners of war is an exceptional part of the park. It offers an incredible amount of knowledge, presented in an engaging and informative manner. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, giving visitors a deep understanding of the harsh realities faced by prisoners of war. The experience is both humbling and enlightening, making one appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted.The park also features a delightful café with good coffee and friendly staff, making for a pleasant break during your visit. The overall atmosphere is one of reverence and gratitude, providing a powerful perspective on the sacrifices made by so many for the peace we enjoy today.National Memorial Park is a must-visit for anyone seeking to connect with history and honor the memory of those who gave their lives for our freedom. Forever grateful for this profound experience.

An incredibly humbling experience. Anyone considering war as a route to piece should go to visit the National Memorial Arboretum and see what war means.
