Absolutely amazing place. Visited numerous times as brother has a tree planted here. Wonderful day as usual. Also wanted to say that the restaurant is fantastic and the service is always brilliant 😁😁 another visit on the 12th & 17th December 22 for the Arboretum Christmas Lights. Amazing show as always and the grandchildren loved them. Thank you and Happy Christmas 🎄🎅

In August 2016, Asha M said about Lichfield Cathedral
Our first sight of Lichfield didn't really excite. It seemed just a small row of houses with a pub as we drove along the main road. When we visited to see the cathedral we realised this is a town with a lot to offer. Plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs and of course the cathedral.
The shear size of the building, detailed stonework and the windows were brilliant.

Not only the cathedral is well worth visiting but the Erasmus Darwin museum nearby is well worth a visit too. If you have younger children the park is a great place to go to. There also plenty of nice shops and a lot of very nice cafes. The market on Saturday offers a good selection of items. If you want to dine in the evening plenty of choice too. I recommend both the Thai restaurants.

In May 2017, Sproxo said about Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
This was our first visit to The Garrick to see "Ventoux". The theatre is perfectly positioned with easy parking next door in the multi storey and only a few minutes walk to the nearby restaurants. Ventoux was a quirky show with the two actors being close enough to almost touch. A gritty performance highlighting the dark and tragic side of Le Tour de France

Visited here today and found it very interesting but also very humbling. Fabulous place with great restaurant and coffee shop. Lovely gift shop too. We really enjoyed it and the staff are very helpful and friendly . Definitely worth visiting. Makes me feel blessed to be alive thanks to all these very brave and special people who gave their lives for us.

In January 2018, Terence G said about National Memorial Arboretum
Very humbling but highly educational place to visit. The site is fantastic with all Arms and Services remembered with their own memorials. The grounds are immaculate and staff very willing to offer advice. The restaurant was very good and extremely reasonable priced with 2 main meals for £13. There is also transport buggys onsite for those with walking difficulties. A great tribute to the brave and fallen. A must visit!

Close to Litchfield, car parking close to entrance wheel chair friendly, from the very start the history and exhibits give you an insite of our past history, for the disabled there is a train ride around the extensive grounds leading to the main memorial.
Not a place to go on a wet and windy day.
There is a restaurant on site and gift shop. Enjoy.

In November 2016, irig01 said about National Memorial Arboretum
Set in 150 acres of countryside this place is well worth a visit. There is a train that takes you round some of the memorials which costs £5 and they tell you some of the history of the memorials. At the main entrance there is a restaurant, gift shop and a cafe. If you have a dog they are also welcome. To walk around the whole place would probably take a few hours but if you went on a nice day it would be worth it.

Lots to see, you need plenty of time, benches everywhere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Train
journey and commentary very good if you cannot walk very far. Restaurant ok, but some meals take a while to arrive but good value. Parking well organised and managed by attendants. Opportunity to pay respect to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
