National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
All day parking £3. The main building houses British Legion shop, restaurant, coffee bar, reception and book counters. Golf buggys and pavement train available at extra cost. The total site encompasses 150 acres. I suppose it would be entirely possible to walk a distance of 5K. without recrossing oneself. This is no venue to see in a rush. I thought for a minute just how many stories the men and women remembered here could tell. Good to see, the 'Legion' has all in hand. Additional coffee shops in Hero's square. A superbly high quality attraction easily reached off A38 near Burton on Trent. I was impressed by the number of retirees wearing formal blazers and decorations, even encountered some from my days at sea.

Great place to visit, you could probably see everything in half a day, plenty of memorials to see & read, the wall is most impressive, positioned on top of large mount & visible through out the arboretum, there is a large restaurant & gift shop, parking is £3 for all day.<br>The day I went there was a Spitfire on display.

It was a fantastic experience and day out I couldn't believe the respect all the people gave to the fallen apart from the band it was very quiet and respectful plus if you wanted to know anything there was someone there to help loved every minute of it will return again soon

A really good place to visit for a reminder of the service and sacrifice people have given and made in the past. The number of organisations represented is continually increasing so there is truly something for everyone. Since its beginning, the trees have grown and their continued development can only enhance the experience.The staff are friendly and the facilities are very good. Allow plenty of time for your visit.

We have said a few times that we would visit here if we came this far down south again. We didn't realise how close to our holiday accommodation this was. It is a must. We walked around here on a day that was at least 30 degrees and unfortunately didn't manage round ALL of it but we made a good dent in it. we got there just before 11 and didn't leave till nearly gone 4. There was a couple of memorials going on that day been held by veterans and serving military. My family are all ex military but this place is in remembrance of lots of different types of services and charities.
Cost nothing for going in apart from the 3 pound for all day parking. They do ask that you put a donation of 5 pound...
Well worth the visit. Pay your respects and enjoy the walk.

A very well laid out place of remembrance, so much to see. I agree with many others that this is a place that needs more than one visit. It must be noted that all the staff that we encountered were friendly, helpful and courteous.

I have visited the Arboretum from time to time since it opened, and there is something new each time. This is a fine place for a peaceful walk amongst the trees and memorials dedicated to servicemen and servicewomen of all types. It certainly makes you think about those who have fought to defend our way of life. There is a chapel and cafe with excellent facilities.
