Amazing place. The arboretum is thought provoking and beautiful. The cafe is decent, the gift shop is lovely. Don't forget your parking change though.

Damp with a chilly wind was probably not the best weather for our first experience here. Also when we arrived they had lost electrify overnight so various facilities weren’t available. Entrancecis ftee although they do suggest a voluntary donation of £5 per adult. Nonetheless we decided we would look around.
We had already decided to take the land train, £6 each and this was the perfect way to see much of the site in 50 mins and help us decide where we wanted to get a closer look. The tour was very useful.
We then decided to look at the central memorial, for those who have died in active service since the end of WW2. The memorial is beautiful in its simplicity, so poignant.
We then returned to the visitors centre where the electric was back on and we had a sandwich lunch and looked around the shop which is full of beautiful items, lots of choices especially if, like me, you like the poppy. We made some purchases including a guide book.
We then went back outside to look at the memorial for the green jackets and for those who fought in the Korean War.
A beautiful place with a huge range of memorials. We will be back again.

I have visited the National Arboretum on a number of occasions now, the last being with my mother who is not too good on her feet.
My mother was able to go around and visit areas she wanted with the help of a cart that less able people can use, she was thrilled.
The arboretum is being added to all of the time and the large memorial is very thought inspiring.
It has a lovely cafe and a small shop and plenty of parking.

This is a must for ages young n old, I go here every year to pay my respects to many of my army comrades who have past away. My regiment has it own memorial on this site. There're is a large cafe come restaurant, loads of parking, disability parking next to entrance, free entry to site. Kids play area. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead. Pick up dogs mess or else. You need a full day to explore. You will enjoy the exspeience.

Having just visited the Arboretum last Sunday my partner and I were particularly impressed with how helpful and friendly the staff were with us, they could not of been more helpful in our search for family members remembered there. However, not part of our search that day was a very surreal moment when we were walking around the large area of the Arboretum, my partner literally stubbled upon a plaque on a tree of a Liverpool blitz survivor that was the cousin of her father. Their must be thousands of trees at the Arboretum - how surreal is that !!!!!!
It is a place that one must visit at least once in one's lifetime because of the meaningfulness of the place in memory of the fallen.
Just to emphasise the staffs commitment to customer service a volunteer ran after us into the carpark after we spoke to her on the way out. She reminded us that all of the just over 600 VC's awarded were to be remembered with named Paviour's in there home town of birth. This will be very special as we have a VC in the family.
We will not forget !!

If you can stomach mans inhumanity to his fellow brethren then there is no better place to illustrate the futility of conflict. Beautifullly laid out cared for and tastefully presented. You will leave sadder and wiser.

If you want to appreciate the human spirit at its best, this is the place to do it. The numerous, varied and imaginative memorials each pay homage to the price people have paid to live in freedom. This place highlights and celebrates the roles of people toward that key value, not only on the battlegrounds of earth, sea and sky but in the background and it also remembers those slain without reason or warning. It's a place full of interest and replete with stories of bravery, resilience and sacrifice, truly moving and worth visiting again and again.

We went to the arboretum with the kids for a day out last summer with average expectations but it was really good and enjoyable and the kids loved it. Looking forward to going again later this year...
