National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Visited on one of our rainy days again and to hide from the rain ducked in to the chapel for a talk on Percy Hobart.
Not normally my cup of tea but.......
I found the talk fun and informative, loved the speaker dressing for the talk. Plenty
of visuals from film clips to extracts read from diaries.
And fancy Churchill dragging him back from the Home Guard.
Will definitely keep an eye out for talks in the future.
I learned a lot.

We spent a day in this wonderful place. The highlight of the day was the service in the chapel to celebrate the 11 o'clock memorial. If you are available you should go- it was really outstanding.
During the course of the day we also used the land- train to go around this helped to fix our minds on where various parts of the Arboretum are fixed. It had a realy good audio as you are going around and you can learn so much. I have to say it is more of an adult thing- very young children find it a long activity.
The views are outstanding from all round the arboretum. On the day of our visit there was a craft fair as well. What a day.
So when you have enjoyed yourself you need food- we can recommend the restaurant too. Yes it gets very busy at the usual times- we went in just before the rush started and had a great time. Their pick and mix salad is very good value for money.
All round and excellent day

We had a guided tour in a golf buggy, as there would otherwise have been too much walking for us. This is a fascinating place, with too much to see in only one visit. We were lucky to have timed our visit to be able to attend the brief remembrance service which takes place every day of the year at 11.a.m. Most moving - the last post and then the reveille. We shall return.

Much bigger than I expected but so well organised by staff and volunteers. Many areas were flooded due to very heavy rainfall over the week but the site is so well planned it was just a little tricky in places and most Memorials could be viewed. The train is worth the whole journey giving you a great overview. The main Memorial was very poignant and so well explained by the volunteers who must have been chilled to the bone!!

I usually attend the Ride To The Wall, an annual event that raises funds to support the Arboretum.<br>When I have visited on quieter days, the whole atmosphere is very emotional, for me, more so than when attending the RTTW.<br>The facilities, including a cafe and self service restaurant,care of a high quality.<br>I can not recommend a visit highly enough.
