National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
I visited on a cold wet February morning and expected just to see loads of memorials and grave stones. However I took a buggy tour and found out so much about the site that I need to go back in the summer to spend more time there. You will not get to find out the information by waking round on your own.
My guide was Mike who was knowledgable and easy going.
There is a large free car park and entry is free too. There is a cafe/restaurant and a gify shop.
It surpised me just how much there was to see.

Very interesting and informative. The grounds are huge. We were there for over 3 hours and could have spent longer. They have events and exhibitions. The cafeteria and restaurant did a good range of hot and cold food, including vegetarian. Would highly recommend.

We visited in the winter and it was so peacefull and calm.What a lovely place to have as a memorial park to all our fallen hero's..There is so much to see that we only had one hour (on a coach tip) would love to return in summer when tree's are out and it is not raining.Thought the map was a bit overpriced at £3 but all profit keeps the place going.

The National Memorial Arboretum is an amazing, thought provoking and moving place.
It’s a tribute to all people, from war hero’s, those killed wrongly in WW1 as deserters to scouts and guides, to children who are no longer here.
The ambulance, police and firmer service all have their own area, I was moved in many places along our journey around here.
Please come but leave yourself plenty of time, I would suggest 4 hours to walk around. They do guided walking tours, guided tours in golf carts and of course you can go around at your own pace.
The cafe is very nice but be warned it stops serving lunch after 2pm!!!!

Lovely place set out over a large area. Lots and lots of tributes and memorials to people who have fought around the world. Very moving . £3 to park all day. Lots of places to stop and sit as you walked round. Could easily spend half a day or more there depending on how much detail you want to go into. Cafe looked nice although seemed pricey so went into Lichfield instead.

My husband and I had been meaning to visit here for some time...we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived we were met with friendly and helpful people. Greeted at the door by David a friendly man who pointed us in the right direction and gave us an overview of the site. At the pay desk (it is free entry) the lady told us the options open to us. We chose a buggy tour at £5.00 each. Audio guides are also available. The buggy was wonderful. Blankets were made available for us on a crisp February day, and our guide Ian was able to answer all our questions and pointed out lots of the monuments and memorials. The tour lasted 50 mins and was well worth it. After the tour we had a drink in the lovely spacious and airy restaurant before having our own little wander around. We then headed to the central monument and was again met with a friendly informative volunteer who walked us around and told us everything we needed to know. ( sorry we don't know his name but does 2 days a week and lives in Solihull)
Everyone should visit this at some time in their life. We plan to return in the late spring when the flowers will be out and there will be an abundance of flowers and colour.
A must visit for all.
