Today was my first visit and it won't be my last, as there's so much to take in. I was fortunate to attend The Army Apprentice National Memorial Annual Service ❤️

This is a great place to visit, the memorials are set in acres of wonderful grounds which are maintained to a very high standards. The main memorial is the centre piece of the site with the names engraved of all service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice it is very moving and a special place to visit

Absolutely breathtaking, just walking around, taking in the atmosphere is humbling. Stop and read the signs, take in what you read, and be humbled 🙂

Beautiful place, emotional but worth a visit

Fantastic day out, highly recommend the free guided tour!

It's worth the visit.<br>Run bye volunteers to help remember all that served regardless of your religion.<br>We were there for 40s weekend, live music.<br>Will be going back soon.

Very relaxing place to walk around. They also offer a land train, buggies and mobility scooters for those with mobility challenges. Good food in the cafe. Very friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyable and interesting place to visit

We come here regularly, and always take a different route. So we can see something different that we missed . Always Peaceful place to come ,my Nephew loved the stick man's trail.

A nice place to visit, staff were very informative and helpful. There is a restaurant, coffee shop and chapel on site. Definitely visit again as the place is so big.

Interesting day out we like it here.

Always amazing to visit. Plus the 1944 event was in full swing and added to the atmosphere

Fantastic place with Fantastic people..

Pre pay parking £4 all day £6 at the door no entrance fee. Great day out for everyone.

This is a great place to visit. However, to take it all in, you'll need at least a couple of days.

Very well kept, all the staff we meet were pleasant and couldn't do enough to help,<br>The stick man trail was really good, our 2 year old loved it

Such a beautiful place to visit. Honouring so many in one venue. Always clean, and peaceful even when very busy! We visit often and there's always a new Monument to see.

Lovely gardens

Beautifully kept grounds in keeping with the peace and tranquility of the reason for its existence. How lovely to spend some time in thanks for all those who gave everything for what we have today.<br>Let us hope that world problems will ease and eventually those that need to will see sense and no more memorials are required.

A place for reflection, hope and to remember lost loved ones. A beautiful place to walk around. Somewhere everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime, maybe then there would be less names added in the future.

Very peaceful

Good cafe and moving memorials, friendly helpful staff. Lots of activities on a ban holiday Sunday

Brilliant place and well maintained loads to look at and understand

It was an amazing experience.. It is a beautiful place with all these different monuments, each having a unique history. The buggy driver told us all about the different monuments with a lot of zest and the kids enjoyed the stick man trail ❤️. A must go place on a beautiful sunny day.

I'm a Royal Navy Falklands War veteran and return regularly to the NMA to reflect and remember those affected by events then and ever since. On this occasion, my wife and I were accompanied by Friends who are Falkland Islanders and who experienced the horrors of what happened in 1982. My wife and two of our friends are disabled and we have a Blue Badge.
We booked our visit on 4th May to arrive at 1100 and arrived on time. The man on the entrance couldn't have been more obstructive or unhelpful if he had tried and he certainly tried hard enough! He told us that there were no Disabled Spaces left and that there was no spaces available for our vehicle. He told us that we would have to park in the secondary car park and walk back which I refused to do after pointing out that we had a Blue Badge and that I had disabled guests with me and also that the we had parked many times oin the main area without problems but Mr Jobsworth wasn't listening....I remembered then that we had experienced his attitude on previous visits.
He grudgingly said that I could drive in and drop my group off but then would need to go out to the other car park and walk back. I think not....so we drove in to find loads of empty Blue Badge spaces and the very next vehicle he let in after us was a VW Transporter, no Blue Badge.! He had told us bare faced lies which I wasn't prepared to tolerate. We parked up without difficulty and without taking up more than one space and went in where I asked to speak to the Duty Manager, Rachel. She came promptly, was very apologetic and helpful and said she would speak with the individual.
The rest of our visit went very well and we participated in the HMS Sheffield memorial event, the 4th May being the anniversary of her being attacked and I met some of the injured that I had cared for on the Hospital Ship Uganda.
Unfortunately, the individual at the entrance spoilt the day and the episode left a nasty taste in the mouth.
Hopefully we won't encounter him on 14th JUne, the anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands.

Had our very first visit to the Arboretum yesterday and had to write a review. What an amazing place, was so nice to pay our respects to all the honoured services, the grounds and memorials are so well thought out and done so well, the grounds are so nice to walk round, the staff do a fantastic job and the 1940's celebration and songs made it an even special visit, this should be a place that everyone should go and a fantastic way to save our history and the memories of all that have passed away serving our country.
Well done to all involved.. ☆☆☆☆☆
