Acres of stunning gardens and beautiful tree, amazing memorials to all the forces and the civilians who lost their lives for this country during wars all over the world. A humbling history lesson from which sadly we never learn.
The train ride round the arboretum first is a good idea to get your bearings and our driver/guide was very informative. We then walked round most of it taking time to read the memorials - both the large ones and the individual, personal ones by most of the trees.
We visited the Basra Wall where sadly many of my son's friends were named - killed along side him when he served there twice during the war.
The museum is incredible and the restaurants, shop, facilities and activities for children are very good.
Well worth a visit from wherever you live especially if you stay in the lovely city of Lichfield nearby. We drove up from Bournemouth and made a weekend of it as there is so much to see and do in the area.

I’ve visited the NMA scores of times and I always learn something new. Recently I went on the very informative Far East walking tour round the relevant memorials.
This visit I learnt about the fighting in WWll round Kohima Imphal. I would strongly recommend visiting the NMA and also checking the daily walks and talks with the excellent guides. Thank you to the many volunteers.
Pay £3 to park. Free to enter but please donate. Restaurant and coffee shop good value. There are hard paths round the memorials but I often want to walk on the grass to see a particular one. It’s low lying and gets very wet after heavy rain. I wear waterproof walking boots.

Five hours flew by and we didn’t see everything on this 150 acre site. Stunning memorials and not all relating to the military but to many other organisations and individuals. We joined in with the short service of remembrance, which happens every day around 11am, followed by an informative talk about the Aboretum. There are inside exhibits and the one about the role of tattooing in the military was particularly interesting. There’s a great restaurant and a smaller coffee shop to be enjoyed.
Mobility vehicles and a train ride are available, as it’s a large site. The actual armed forces memorial in the centre is impressive with some amazing statues. All staff are friendly and informative, mostly volunteers and so knowledgeable.
Everyone should go and be moved by Remembrance.

This is a very worthwhile place to visit. Large area, well laid out and an excellent tribute to those who have served and saved our country . Cost of entry is £3 per car for parking and this allows entry to the many acres of well kept gardens and memorials. There is a good cafe , large restaurant and outside sitting areas. Regular trips around the grounds in a small train or large golf type buggy are available at a fee and are good value. The chapel and galleries are well worth visiting . This is a beautiful calm relaxing quiet place,

Well worth a visit, £3 charge for the car park but free to go in, reasonable priced café, we spent 4 hours there including a ride on the land train which takes around 45 minutes and costs £6 per adult, lots of varieties of trees and plants to see too

Far bigger than you'd expect. A tasteful and respectful memorial to those who've served and fallen for their country.

Visited the national memorial arboretum (alrewas, Staffordshire).over the weekend.have been a few times and always find it very peaceful and tidy.to look at the wall and see all the names of the people who have giving so much is so daunting.along with all the other memorials. There are cafés and shops to wonder round whilst you are there all very good.

My first visit and what a place! I was there for a memorial service and parade, the final one of the Suez Veterans’ Association. However the whole arboretum is massive and it would take at least a couple of days to walk round every part. However there are buggies that can take you round, and a land train that does a circular tour with a narrative that one can actually hear! The facilities in the main building are as one would expect, with a very large cafeteria, galaxies which house displays (at the moment of tattoos in the military), and the inevitable gift shop. Prices are not cheap but keep in mind that entry is free so by buying services or goods you are contributing to the upkeep of the arboretum.
Well worth a visit.
