Another Excelent visit to the NMA - several developments and a few new memorials to remind us of the sacrifices made by others for our freedom and security.

Visiting the NMA is a profoundly moving experience. The NMA is a fitting tribute to all who made the ultimate sacrifice. The use of the natural world in the memorials was poignant.
The staff and volunteers were so friendly, helpful and dedicated. No question seemed to faze them.
The cafe served very tasty food at reasonable prices
The land train was a good way to see the site and get the lie of the land

Fabulous place if you’re interested in World war 1&2 . An emotional experience seeing how many were affected by the atrocities and wonderful to know how so many helped in their own way for the good of everyone . Everyone needs to go to be reminded and be grateful for what we have today .

Amazing experience. So much to see. Well kept grounds and very nicely laid out. Had 3 hours there and still didn't even see it all. Will go back again definitely.

A very special place to visit it is impeccably maintained and for us at the RTTW event it is very emotional, I would highly recommend visiting on a non event day as well when it is quiet and do the tour it is brilliant, the facilities are up to date and offers the usual Disabled facilities and parking.

Humbling to think all these people were prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to fight for our freedoms.

The Arboretum is wonderful.<br>We used the train with commentary informing us of most of the monuments, and it was well worth the price.<br>On the day we visited, there was a memorial service for the police with singing and brass band music.<br>It made for a memorable day

It was a great day out with some of Staffordshires veterans, free entry and wander around at yours own pace or for a small charge someone will drive you around on a golf cart, really worth the visit, a chance to think and remember.

Excellent day out ...but far from long enough to see everything in this beautiful setting....Weather permitting i recommend the cloud gazing...give yourself the 25mins to relax your day COMPLETELY .. Free day out well worth the £6 parking cost

Stunning

Please set aside a full day so you can get to see as much of the Arboretum. First visit but not the last.

Love this place! Always a great idea to visit There seems to be new memorials every time we visit. They now charge for motorcycle parking, but can get it discounted if prebook or you have a Ride to the Wall sticker/badge. Good cafe on site for coffee and cake or full meal

Fully deserving of a 5 star rating.<br>The spectacular and thought-provoking memorials are in a beautifully landscaped and scenic setting, and with pathways and walks (including a lovely riverside walk) which are wide and accessible for all.<br>Entry to the site is free, although charitable donations are welcomed and much deserved.<br>Car parking is accessible and can be pre-booked for £4, or pay £6 on the day.<br>A free site map can be collected at the main reception on entry, or a more detailed guide book can be purchased for £10.<br>Land train tours of the site with running commentary are available (cost up to £7.50 each) lasting 50 minutes.<br>Guided walks and buggy tours are also available at a small cost.<br>There are indoor exhibitions, a restaurant and a coffee shop with additional outside seating, and the gift shop is well worth a visit.<br>Accessible toilets are located near the main entrance, and also at several other locations across the site (port cabins).<br>There are a couple of children's play areas, several picnic areas, and a multitude of seats/benches located throughout the site which is extensive and may require more than one visit if you wish to see everything, with more than 400 memorials.<br>There are some areas that we didn't see, so will definitely return in the near future.<br>I've posted some photos and a couple of videos which will give you a flavour of what to expect if you decide to visit, which I highly recommend.

Very moving, thought-provoking and powerful, whilst at the same time being a lovely place to share time walking and enjoying the natural environment.

A good place that you can keep coming back to and discovering more areas. Busier or Sundays but good facilities and a large enough area that you can enjoy some peace and quiet and reflect.

An interesting place to visit, well maintained and easy to navigate. Was quite emotional at times, managed to locate my father's regimental memorial.

Lovely place to walk around and an example of how to honour the heroes that have given their life for our country. Plenty of helpful staff on hand.The gift shop has some lovely items. The only negative was the coffee shop, went in for a drink and a cream scone however the scone was stale and dry. Luckily I'd only bought one to share, we struggled to eat that even with cream and jam.

This was the briefest of visits. Unfortunately we arrived to very heavy rain and had no adequate clothing with us - it is summer!<br><br>We will revisit next time we are passing.
