How can you fault the National Memorial Arboretum, it's a place to remember our fallen heroes. It's a place of beauty and of peace. It's good for thinking and for doing photography.

A place that everyone should visit. Although it is very busy but because the place is so large you never notice the busyness. A very serene place to visit with so much to see and do x

Didn't expect that it was a huge area. Despite number of visitors, you still can feel the tranquility of the place. It is really a good place to remember what war had given to human's life

A lovely place to visit and reflect on this wonderful memorial to those who have given their life in the Armed Services, Emergency Services etc.
Wear sensible shoes as it covers a huge area with many paths but often you need to go over grassy areas to get to some of the memorials.
A great visitor centre with a nice cafe.
Friendly and informative staff and volunteers.
Free entry but donations welcome.
Well done Royal British Legion.

Well laid out in attractive setting , free entry, £3 parking but well worth it to help maintain this must see memorial arboretum ,good facilities with cafe .Worth taking the on site train to help you with your weary legs there is a charge for this but again worth it .

Great day out. So much bigger and than I thought. There are memorials for every thing. Including Scouts. Very interesting.

Wow! Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful, thought provoking, poignantly moving memorials to so many lives lost in conflict. There is a reconstruction of a trench as it would have been at Passchendaele and that gives some idea of the awfulness of the situation soldiers found themselves in. Near Lichfield it is easy to find, great facilities for disabled people too. Do go!

Really enjoyed our visit. I would definitely recommend the Road Train as there are so many memorials to see.it was definitely worth the £6 for the one hour trip with commentary. There are so many new memorials since our last visit ten years ago.

A brilliant conception. Pays homage to all who have gone before.

Such a calm, clean and respectful place for remembering the fallen. The memorials are all spectacles to be seen and walking down beside the river is so peaceful! The land train is brilliant and anyone who works there are all very knowledgable

We have no direct connections to any institution, or person remembered here that we know of. However, to see all the names on the walls in the central memorial is moving and so thought provoking, I can't imagine anyone not being moved in some way. For any distance more than a few metres, my wife has to be in a wheelchair, but it's so easy to get to the top of this memorial with the gently sloping spiral path around the memorial taking you to the top, and the gentle slope makes it possible to push an adult up without the career being worn out.
Good paths are laid out around the site, but many memorials are deep into the grassed areas making it impossible to push a wheelchair to most of them. That said, it would spoil the look and feel of the place if any more paths were put in (let alone the prohibitive cost). The site is so large that it's almost impossible to cover the whole site in one visit, especially if you stop to look at some of the memorials.
The new visitor centre is a huge improvement on the old, and we were able to get a good, tasty lunch there.
This is somewhere everyone should visit, it's a great walk, there are areas for kids, a land train covering the majority of the site, and chauffeured buggies available. Pick a dry day though, apart from the main centre, there is little shelter from the rain.

Our friend was a member of the RAF so we had to visit this memorial. It is a fantastic site to visit but expect to be all day as there is much to see and a lot of history to learn.
