Fascinating place. Can wander for hours through the elegant grounds, discovering inventive memorials to many branches of armed forces and other groups. The central memorial is particularly impressive. It's free, bar a minor parking charge, with a decent café and gift shop.

Been here several times and each time is moving and thought provoking. Today’s visit was with a large social group as a simple meet. The weather was cold and windy but the Sunday lunch provided the ideal solution.
Lovely meal, friendly staff, very reasonably priced. As part of a day’s visit, highly recommended

Less of an arboretum more of a memorial Park with trees. Probably will be better in 20 years

It's a nice day out. The restaurant is okay and there is a lot of area to walk through, it's treemendous. They also have a lot of memorials to visit. Despite already being huge, the arboretum has potential for more growth. I wood hope that their prospects stay evergreen. Alright, I'll leaf now.

Really nice place to go and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those no longer with us. The memorials cover a huge range of duties and it was a pleasure to attend and honour them.<br><br>One of the cafes is dog friendly which was great and served some excellent food and drink! Highly recommend for a morning or afternoon.

I don't have the words to describe, or at least not to do it justice. So peaceful, such a special place. The entrance is spacious and airy, with plenty of volunteers on hand to help and advise. We'd picked a quiet day a Thursday in January, and with the "train" out of service and a limited amount of time we elected to have a buggy tour. Our guide was brilliant, great knowledge and humorous, and certainly whetted our appetite for another more extensive visit. I can only imagine how glorious it must be in spring or autumn colours. Only one really little moan, the hot chocolate in the café needed to be hotter!! Next time we'll take a picnic when the weathers warmer too.

I intended spending two hours at the NMA, I arrived at 9am and left at 3pm and even then I dragged myself away and will be returning with friends!
The volunteers are brilliant and in particular David who displays a passion and thorough knowledge of this beautiful memorial area. After a service in the chapel I was shown round on a buggy, treated to a lecture on the 'shot at dawn' memorial and then quietly took in some 300 plus monuments dedicated, not only to the military but to peace and remembrance of all those that served our country. Highly recommended!

Parking £3 for the day. Free to visit the arboretum, £7.50 ish to visit some of the exhibitions. Vast cafe and seating area indoors. Benches scattered throughout outdoors. Sheltered areas. Nice to visit in Spring. Divine in Autumn. Would like to see their Christmas display next year.
