National Memorial Arboretum

Really interesting place with memorials to every regiment/ship and squadron as well as other groups and associations. I laid flowers at the bomb disposal memorial for my relative.

Calm and tranquility in this poignant place of reflection. A fitting tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

This visit was overwhelming. We visited over 2 day period and still came away not seeing all of the Arboretum. My daughter learnt alot and felt this place other teenagers would benefit from visiting. We found memorials which we didn't expect to find. We went when in wet weather. The sight does flood so make sure you are dressed appropriately since the area is bigger than we ever expected and was told of plans to expand further. The moving part for us was seeing and find friends names on the Walls. We went with my father who also found names of those he lost in service. Dogs are welcome. Also there is transport as means of a train if needed. Also mobility scooters on site.

We spent most of a day here, first a ride on the land train to get our bearings, then just walking around looking at some of the many excellent memorials. Particularly interested in the Maritime Artillery memorial of a Bofor Gun. This little known branch of the services provided Army crews to man the guns mounted on Merchant ships on convoy duty.
Not a single piece of litter to be seen anywhere, and the grounds beautifully kept.
The only let down was the lunch we had in the cafe, it was all good quality food, but only just lukewarm,and that at a busy lunchtime.

Beautiful set out and a time to reflect on past history and current day, a full day is still not enough to take it all in ,even with help of the staff who are very helpful, they have a large restaurant ,also you can go round on the land train, all money spent in the gift shop helps to maintain the grounds with donations given.

An excellent venue

Greeted at way in by volunteer who explains about the place. Free to go in and although they ask for donations, no pressure to give. A wide variety of memorials and types. Lovely well kept large open spaces. It says on the website about picnic areas, but I wasn't sure where to go so asked a volunteer who said you could use any of the benches. I thought they might not like that as it seemed a little disrespectful, but they said it was fine. It was a bit cold though. We had a drink and cake in the restaurant. Bit pricey, but nice. We went on the land train (£6 each). Well worth doing to get to see most of it, with a recorded commentary, especially if you are not that mobile. Nice shop as well.

What a day we had! The parking was easy, knowledgable people on duty when we arrived, smashing coffee shop and cafe. The land train was the best we have been on - simply because the driver slowed down or even stopped when there was something to see and the memorials were so moving to admire.

Excellent talk by Dr Kate Vigurs about these brave women, their training and what became of them. These women were mainly from ordinary backgrounds who were chosen to be agents helping the resistance networks, acting as radio operators and couriers. They were able to move around less obviously than men in occupied France. An inspiring remembrance and very fitting to hear their story at the Arboretum.
