Very well presented and looked after. Thought provoking and touching. Well organised and great for wheelchair users. Deffinately worth a visit. Land train trip great but no real chance to hip on/off. Better to just wander round but soooo many memorials you need a long time.

Not just memorials, nice gardens & parkland, too. A good morning out if the weather is fair. Free admission is a bonus, good parking at a fair price. We will return during another 'season' to view the fauna & flora at a different time of the year.

This was our first visit to the National Arboretum while we were staying in the Peak District for 2 nights. Entry to the Arboretum is free & the car park is £3 for all day parking which is brilliant value when getting free entry. We spent 4 hours in the sunshine walking round the vast amount of memorials & were fascinated with the stories of different conflicts were we lost so many brave service men & women over the years, we learnt a lot of new information. The volunteers really make you welcome at the main entrance & there's plenty of them on hand to provide you with any answers to questions you might have & to point you in the right direction if you get lost in the vast grounds. If your thinking about coming to the National Arboretum we would definitely highly recommend.

A beautifully laid out, peaceful and thought provoking memorial. The memorial statues are quite spectacular in themselves we took the train around the site which is a good place to start as the commentary is very helpful. The volunteers are really dedicated and it is worth going to the chapel for the two minute silence at 11am. We spent a thoroughly enjoyable day there and were very impressed.

States they are dog friendly, but very very limited where dogs can go, wouldn't recommend taking dogs. ☹🐾

Absolutely loved the visit and impressed with the outlay and sympathetic way a difficult time in many lives was dealt with. Amazing sculptures which were very tactile, sympathetic and said more than words could, and made me feel really humble.....

Excellent, reflective day out. So many different memorials to see & some stunning figures. Wear comfortable shoes, although you can pay to use the land train. Restaurant food very nice, staff very friendly & helpful.

Had a great time visit a place with such historic significance. There's a real calm within, despite the many busy crowds. Absolutely brilliant place to come to. Fantastic shop with a great range of choices too, all going towards a good cause. Whole heartedly recommend it here. Many different activities and walks to go on. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

A place of peace, tranquility and remembrance.

This was an organised group trip with our local U3A. The site is vast so the train with commentary was a must even if it’s only to get your bearings; in addition there are walking and buggy tours. Entry is free but there is small charge for car parking and the tours. There are plenty of volunteers on hand to give any information, a cafe and restaurant, static displays, chapel and shop. The grounds are beautifully kept as are the monuments. Certainly a place to revisit.

Huge area with lots of varied memorials and sculptures. The land train is really good. The cafe has plenty of room and is not expensive. Helpful and knowledgeable staff/volunteers. A very thought provoking visit.

Gives one a sense of the how many people have died in conflict and more, also how brave people are when under extreme times.
