National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Great for a walk. Always something to catch your attention, wildlife, changing leaf colour, memorial services , events and exhibitions.<br>Not forgetting the growing number of memorial statues and the stories of those who have given their all in service to this country.<br>Some will make you cry. Others make you proud.<br>This is a wonderful and appropriate place for all to see and give thanks to those who should never be forgotten.

Beautiful setting, good facilities but a little confusing. Quite an expansive site, with lots of memorials and can be tricky to navigate at times even with a map. Definitely worth a visit.

It was a quick visit during a journey north but we definitely want to return for a day to do the place justice. Much larger than we had realised. Cafe quite expensive. Car park £3 for the day.

I had wanted to go here for such a long time. This place is so much more than mere words can express. It's amazing, humbling, emotional and inspiring. I could go on and on but you must go for yourselves. I found memorials from all of my familys Regiments and paid my respects. You need a full day, don't go for an hour, we were there for 7 hours and we didn't see everything. A good pair of walking shoes and a back pack of water will do you just fine. There's a good restaurant and a coffee bar if you wish to eat. Go to the exhibition too not to be missed if just for the leaves and poppies on the floor..... you'll see. Just go....

My fifth visit since this venue was opened. It just gets better each time. Food was o.k altho' very busy but help yourself salad fresh and palatable. Staff friendly and atmosphere great today on RAF 100th commemoration.

I first visited the National Memorial Arboretum in August 2016, alas heavy rain & didn't see a lot of the site, and at the time the main 43 metre circular 'National Memorial' was closed for maintenance work, so missed that as well.
This time that main memorial that has the names of 16,000 people on it that have been killed since the end of WWII was open - things can't be improving worldwide as it has room for a further 15,000 names. But as a nation, politicians get us involved in conflicts that have nothing whatsoever to do with us. This stone memorial has a slot on the southern side that allows a beam of sunlight to fall on a bronze wreath in the centre at 1100hrs on 11th November.
Another interesting memorial, out of over 350, is in memory of the pointless political killing of innocent military personal suffering from 'shell shock' during the First world war - it's now known as "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" not cowardice.
Of the many civilian memorials, the 'Showmans Guild' memorial adds a bit of colour.
Well kept grounds, regular garden maintenance going on, clean and tidy, free entry but three pounds to park.

Impressive as always

What a truly amazing and moving place. I could spend the whole day here and still not see everything. If you have any knowledge of conflict or the armed forces you must visit this at least once. I will definitely be back.

Incredibly moving. Peaceful, beautiful setting, easy to find your way around and staff knowledgeable, approachable and friendly but not intrusive.

It has been a visit that both my husband and l wanted to do for some time so we made a point of visiting. From the moment we arrived, from the car park attendant to the ladies in the gift shop everyone was so welcoming. I don’t know what l was expecting to see but for me the most striking part was the main memorial. We have visited the war graves of these dear brave men in France and Belgium and its very fitting we should have a memorial in our country. We will be going back and would recommend anyone to visit
