Great facilities, toilets and cafe, the land train is great if you don't, or can't, walk all the way round, as it is a long way!

Peaceful place. I did think though that such things as a train that goes around the memorial (for which there is a charge) reduced the reverence such a place deserves. Exceptionally friendly and helpful volunteers and staff.

I've wanted to visit here for some time and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone should visit here at least once and see the commitment and dedication of people, to ensure that the legacy of those, who gave their lives, in defence of our Country are remembered in the correct way. It is still maturing and as it is basically run as a charitable trust, it relies heavily on the support of the public. There are many moving and emotional tributes and none more so, than the main central area, with it's circular walls, highlighting all those that have died since WW2, but even more emotional, is the fact that there are blank panels too, awaiting the potentially never ending list in the future.

A very sombre thought provoking place.<br><br>The Arboretum is not free but for a very small contribution to the up-keep you could spend all day at the venue.<br><br>There are sections within the grounds for all the various corps. and forces who have ever lost personnel.<br><br>The most thought provoking is the wall with all those that have fallen during a conflict. It has a gap down the middle so the sun shines through it on a certain time of year.<br><br>Well worth a visit.

We really enjoyed our visit to the National Arboretum. There was so much to see and lots of quiet places to sit and reflect. There is no entrance fee but donations are very welcome. We went on a land train tour which you do have to pay for on arrival. This gave us a good insight into the layout of the arboretum and the commentary was excellent. There are a number of places the train will stop if you want to alight but be aware you cannot re-join the next train along if you do this. Maps of the arboretum can be bought at the desk as you enter reception at a cost of £3, we found ours very helpful. There is a large café with plenty of outdoor seating on Heroes Square outside. It is not just war dead that are remembered but many other organisations. At 11.00am every day there is a short act of remembrance and this is the only place in England that does this daily. The staff are so pleasant and helpful and would thoroughly recommend a visit here.

Wasn’t sure what to expect but really enjoyed our visit. Easy spacious parking. Willing friendly volunteers/guides. Extensive site. Over 300 memorials. Plenty to see and plenty to think about. Really pleased to find the SANDS garden. Surprised to see a memorial to Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Military memorials are amazing.

The National Arboretum is a beautiful place to visit. The range of trees dedicated to all the memorials is stunning. At the moment there is a lot of new building and repair work going on. The road train is an excellent way to travel around and then you are able to walk back to places you want to see. We missed the WI memorial but I have been before and saw it then. The colours of the trees make it more of a pleasure in autumn. The shop, cafe and toilet facilities are excellent and other exhibitions are available all year round. A great and emotional place to go.

Impressive monumental tributes to the Fallen in two world wars. There are lots of trees and shrubs and it is very decorative but the word Arboretum is misleading.
