National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Lovely day at the Autumn Festival. Even though there was many cars and a queue to the overflow car park, inside the arboretum it didn't feel busy at all. Still as peaceful.<br><br>The first aiders were really good with my son when he got something in his eye. Really friendly and he trusted them to wash his eye.

Fist time been and would be there more often if I could. Such an honour to have been, such a WONDERFUL place and a real tribute to the ex-service people and plus everyone that went through the times of troubles. I would suggest a ltrip in a buggie or on the land train, because there is so much to see. Can't wait to go again !!!

I visited here with with a family member as part of a coach trip.
We were not disappointed.
The size of the place is impressive!! We went on the land train to have a look round the place then decided to walk round.
We still never got to see everything,even though we were there for a while it just shows how big the place is.
We also went to one of the many talks they have round the site. The one we went to was about shot at dawn.
A great talk and very interesting.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn’t been before.
There is so much to see and the memorials ate excellent and well kept.
There is also a cafe and gift shop.

The memorial grounds are much bigger than we imagined, with so many memorials dedicated to the various regiments, and also personal family memorials on individual trees, remembering a family member. It is a wonderful, peaceful place to walk around but very touching when you see so many names of people who gave their lives in conflict.
There are also exhibitions on various topics concerning the armed services, a shop, café and restaurant. You could easily spend a whole day here. It is free to enter, but a donation is welcome and car parking is £3 for the day

We visited as a group for the first part of our tour which was on the land train. A ride which is informative and guides you through the grounds it gives you ideas of where you wish to visit. Beautiful, tranquil it is such a moving tribute to everyone concerned. So beautiful to stroll around. We stayed 7hours and didn't see everything.

We were amazed at the size of this place. Would recommend the informative 40 minute train trip around the grounds when you arrive to get an idea of where to walk to after it. We spent over 4 hours there wandering around the beautifully kept memorials and gardens and only touched the surface, so will be returning soon.
£3 to park all day, and free entry into the museums and grounds..rare these days, and £6 each for the train trip. Worth every penny.
All in all it was a wonderful and thought provoking visit.

I went here today on a community 10k project through work. We helped clean memorials, weed, tidy the garden area for The families to visit to pay respect to their loved ones.
What an amazing place it is. Immaculately clean, very informative and our ground guy Tom who looked after us for the day was such a lovely bloke. He knew everything about the flora, fauna and the memorials. He is passionate about his work which is why the grounds are so beautiful.
I have learnt lots today and it serves as a gentle reminder to us all, if it wasn’t for these service men and women, we wouldn’t be living the lives we do today. I for one anpm eternally grateful to them.
Dogs are allowed to walk in the grounds. The cafe has a great choice of beverages and food.
It’s free to get in, they just ask for £3.00 car parking.
There is a gift shop with some nice quality items for sale too.
I would 100% recommend a day out there.

My wife and I visited here on a Saturday in September. We were amazed by the size of the place and spent an enjoyable 5 hours there and still didn't see it all. It is in very extensive, well kept grounds and a most impressive undertaking. Admission is free (donations very welcome)and parking is £3. There are 'motorised train' rides or buggy rides, with commentary, if you wish to cover the area without too much walking, these cost £6 per person each. The staff/volunteer helpers are knowledgeable and very helpful.The guide book at £7.50 is excellent value for money, and very well produced, but the orientation sheet at £3 is a bit over-priced. We had a snack in the coffee shop which was very good, and the main restaurant offered a good choice of food at reasonable prices. We will return to view the rest of it at some point in the future.

We spent a very sobering and enjoyable few hours here. It’s incredible to think that this place has only been here for a couple of years. A place to reflect and give thoughts for the brave fallen over the years. I can’t believe that we, as a country, haven’t had a place like this before. Quite a few uniformed guys and girls from various units here today. I don’t know if this is the norm, but great to see.<br>I’d strongly recommend this place if you have a connection with the forces, if you don’t it’s still an amazing experience.

What a location to remember those who have given their lives to keep us safe. Such a shame there are so many names on the memorial wall, of people who have died in service since the end of WW2. The whole site beautifully cared for, with helpful and friendly staff who really want you to enjoy your visit.
