National Memorial Arboretum
Latest Reviews
Our experience was of amazement at how big the place was.
We can now at last appreciate how many people gave their lives for us and be acknowledged since the first and second world wars.
Looking at all the names was very humbling.
It gave us time to reflect on life.
Playground: There is a play area for children.
Restrooms: There are restrooms in the restaurant/cafe area.
Dog-friendliness: Dogs are allowed in the grounds just not in the Armed forces memorial Arboretum and also the train that takes you around the whole place for a £8.00 an adult but not sure of the price for children.
Dogs are allowed in the restaurant.
Picnic area: There are areas for picnics around the grounds and benches for you to sit and reflect.

decent sized car park. was surprised to see lots of cars there. seems a lot of people come here. those were my thoughts when parking up. i mainly had those thoughts as i had thought this attraction was a small one. i thought i would be there no more than 25/30 minutes. we were there for over 2 hours and looking at the photos on here, we still missed things.
Of course this is a place to appreciate and to respect but it was still a nice walk. So many tributes, statues, gardens all clearly displaying who or what they are representing.
We never went on the land train but on another visit we will to listen to the information.
A return visit is definitely happening for us. The staff are friendly and willing to explain about the memorials. The entrance with the cafe and shop showed me it was a bigger deal than i had originally thought right from the start.
Well worth visiting and afterwards we popped into nearby Lichfield for another look at the amazing cathedral before dinner in the same town.
We had a great day out. Recommended attraction. You have two new supporters,

Beautiful place, we visited yesterday and got the land train. Poignant and very well kept. Good disabled facilities, big café and lovely little gift shop. Well worth a visit.

First time visiting and was really impressed. Huge site with loads to explore. Thought the kids might be bored but actually this is a great child and dog friendly place to visit. Plenty of wheelchair / buggy / walker friendly paths. We didn't have anything to eat or drink at the café but it looked clean and tidy. Staff were friendly too. Would recommend 👍🏻

Bit of a nightmare to get to (roadworks- end August 2023). Well worth the visit though. Oodles to see, but beware, plenty of walking. Still, disabled people are well catered for. Very respectfully laid out. Give yourself 1/2 day at least. Restaurant ok+ the obligitory gift shop. Will try to visit again sometime.

Beautiful place to go to pay respect for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. Shame that dog owner's don't show the same respect and keep their dogs out of here.

Large arboretum with lots of stone regimental insignia. Historically interesting, especially if you have family connections to the forces. It also has all the names of personnel killed after the second World War carved into stone. Personally I found it quite moving. Well laid out with a guided tour train. Highly recommended.
Picnic area: Has a small café and shop.

A wonderful park to learn, reflect and relax. 400 regimental memorial, all with a story to tell. A beautiful mai Raines tribute to those who served. Some impressive works of art included and the volunteers are wonderfully engaging and knowledgeable. Heart warming to see so many many parents bringing kids to understand sacrifices made

An absolute gem of an attraction. I had no idea how big this site was and how many monuments there were. The staff are very informative and keen to tell you about the monuments. If I could ask for more, it would be that there should be a guide to the monuments

Fantastic place to visit. So many tributes to all our service men and women from around the world and different conflicts

A lovely tribute to all that have served, the grounds are well maintained by volunteers. A friendly cafe, which allows dogs to sit with you, a well equipped gift shop which is reasonably priced.. As my husband and myself are veterans we were honoured to see our cap badges represented there. A Quiet, peaceful place to reflect. Thank you all which has made this place possible.
