Lovely place, well maintained and peaceful. Different services offered like the land train or a guided tour. Mobility scooters are available for hire. Restaurant offers a selection of hot and cold food, all freshly made. Booking for parking recommended but once your there , you can stay aslong as you like. Free entry but donations are appreciated to help towards the upkeep of the arboretum. ( alot of staff are volunteers)

Such a beautiful place for a lovely stroll around the beautiful countryside and memorials.
Free to get in. Only have to pay for parking which is cheaper if you pay online before you arrive.
We even went over the river up to the quarry. Not a sole in sight. Lovely to see the wildlife.
All staff very friendly and helpful.
Nice restaurant, good quality food at reasonable prices.
We will be back in the summer to see it in all its glory.

We had a lovely day. Went on the train, which was great for my parents and aunty as they struggle to walk far. Took mom's mobility scooter. But could of hired one. The commentary on the train was good. Had food in the restaurant which was lovely, only downside was, it would be better if there could be some sort of menu on table as I had to run back to the tables to check what my parents wanted. Couldn't fault the staff though. Will be returning again.

A memorable visit. The land train was an excellent way to see the site and pick out areas to walk back to after. We ate in the restaurant where the food was well presented and good quality. On our arrival the gentleman directing you into the car space was quite rude and was commented on by a number of people. Thankfully this ' not so welcome customer service' was not perpetuated anywhere else during our visit.

It felt like a privilege to visit the Arboretum, and that's how you should feel.
When we visited we paid for a buggy tour, with a tour guide, she was amazing and informative.
The Arboretum has a serenity about it, it is a reflective place where you can walk through the memorial gardens. it is a place to take time with, to read about the memorials from the many regiments, and campaigns fought.
This is a must place to visit, along with the memorials there is a great shop, and restaurant.

In July 2019, Peter James said about National Memorial Arboretum
We visited the Arboretum for the first time on Friday 5th July. So impressed by the immaculate memorials and lawns in tribute to the fallen. It is a beautiful place with very helpful and knowledgeable staff. The picture gallery has an exhibition by Colin Davidson called Silent Testimony done by palette knife which is astounding. The whole experience of the Arboretum from the gardens to the restaurants was a pleasure from start to finish.Thank You.

Fantastic place with so much history. Allow yourself a full day there to be able to see everything. The staff are extremely helpful and informative. There's also a Land Train which provides an excellent opportunity for those who struggle with walking to see everything. It has brilliant spoken commentary too. Parking costs are reasonable for a whole day and the restaurant and shop have plenty to offer too. It's a must visit for all ages.
