Our first visit here was with a party of 500 attending the launch of the new holiday brochure of Johnsons Coaches of Henley in Arden. The Conference facilities were modern and comfortable and after lunch we were free to explore.
Although it was quite a busy day, even without our party, it is a big enough site not to feel overcrowded. We booked for the land traIn first to help get our bearings and we thought the £6 fare for a 50 minute ride with a recorded commentary was well worthwhile, especially as entrance to the site is free. We will certainly be returning as there is too much to see and take in for one visit but we found the whole experience very moving, especially as we went the weekend before Remembrance Sunday.
A word about the catering. Seeing a long queue and knowing there were 500 of us having lunch in addition to the rest of the visitors, we feared the worst. But we shouldn't have as it was very well organised with enough staff who were both efficient and helpful and we had a very nice lunch. A lesson here for other mass catering outlets who just seem to get overwhelmed when busy.

Wonderful place, very moving, much more so than I expected! Peaceful, thought provoking and at times disturbing!

Pretty good - knocked a point of for the lack of proper toilets around the Arboretum area - the temporary toilets were pretty disgusting. Obviously a need had been recognised but not acted upon in a proper manner. This was despite spending millions on the main building

The pouring rain did not dampen the poignancy of a visit to the NMA.
The grounds were amazing. The sheer number of memorials, each lovingly cared for, demonstrated the importance and relevance of this place.
The central memorial was truly impressive. It inspires feelings of pride and thanks to all those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Just reading random names emphasised the price our military paid.
Mandy found the Association of Wrens memorial garden and we both found the Arethusa tree. A time to reflect.
I paid my own respects to my fellow Freemasons at the new Masonic Memorial.

Very tranquil place to visit and a good place for those to reflect on lost loved ones during many wars. Made easily accessible for wheelchair users, prams and scooters.<br><br>It's a lot to get around in one visit so we didn't manage to see everything. Very thoughtfully put together.

A very humbling place. It doesn't seem right saying it's a good day out but when you've been there you wgjj understand what I mean

Beautiful, well kept memorials - moving service in the Chapel. It brings home some of the horrors of war.<br><br>If eating, go early. We left it too late - only<br>one option available.

I thought that it is a place that everyone ought to visit. Coming from a family with a lot of military connections I was really impressed. It makes you realise what sacrifices have been made by our armed forces.

We visited the memorial arboretum with our two teenages, fascinating exhibition, informative talks and audio guides, very moving experience, everyone should try to visit at least once to show their respects. The Shot At Dawn memorial was heartbreaking but beautiful, it has had a huge effect on us, I sat and wept, I still can't understand how we could have shot our men in such a cruel and horrific way, some of them just teenagers!
The arboretum has got bigger and better every time we've visited. Thank you to their staff for making each visit wonderful.
