Many regional army units have been combined into larger units, the history spanning ww1, ww2, and recent operations is here. Fascinating history and current respects. Bring your walking shoes, if you can't walk there's a train, but you must catch it at the center, can't catch it half way around Alrewas.

A warm welcome from the first assistant at the door to everyone I met on site here. Convenient disabled parking. Good quality free to borrow wheelchair.<br>I can reccomend the land train. We had limited mobility and limited time. The commentary was informative.<br>Good standard of catering, again everyone was very helpful.<br>The number of memorials was almost overwhelming. We would visit again.<br>Currently be aware that exits onto A38 northbound are closed due to HS2 roadworks.

Last went 6 years ago.<br>Would suggest ore booking online for car park which will save some money.<br>Remains free entry.<br>Resturant good portions and good quality<br>You can book various golf buggy tours<br>But just give yourself time to walk around and enjoy arboretum and take in the impressive;dramatic;thought provoking memorial monuments.<br>The Polish memorial worth going to as has history of Polands significant involvement in WW11 etched into stone.<br>Shot at dawn haunting.<br>Replica trench fascinating.<br>Main memorial at centre an edifice to stand with structures in the somme and Ypres region.<br>The map given to you is not to scale and only has a fraction of memorials so just head of into trees and you might find a pebbled beach. A fairground ride;<br>There are computers you can look up family if involved in wars.<br>Just to note memorials are for all conflicts and sadly people lost

If you are wondering whether to visit the national memorial arboretum, just do it! Visited for the first time a few days ago and it was overwhelming. A wonderful setting in which to remember the tragedy and heroism of so, so many people.<br>It was impossible to take it all in with just one visit but still thinking about it days later. From a botanical point of view it is wonderful too.<br>Managed to find a memorial relevant to the family which was moving.

First time we used a buggy, saved carrying band instruments. St John service went well and they saved us some food. Weather good, an enjoyable day.

Was wet so did train round. Half of commentary did not match up to stops. Hard to see some the the points they talked about. Would have been better to have used buggies.
