In January 2020, Mary Wheeler said about Lichfield Cathedral
It's a lovely city with plenty to see and do. It has a wide variety of shops and restaurants. You can visit the cathedral, sit by the Minster Pool and soak up the history all around you. However the District Council levied a street licence fee on traders at the festival market of £21, which in addition to the stall fee, lead to many traders not coming. Shame!

Everyone should pay a visit, it is unique.
Set in the counrtyside and with river walks and vast areas of woodland, it pays tribute to all our fallen war heroes over the generations.
On site it is possible to enjoy a meal or simply a drink at the restaurant. The range of food is improving, but you are not visiting for that reason.
The Arboretum is there to pay ones repects and it is a living growing entity.

Easy to park and staff welcoming at the door. There's a £3 parking fee for the day.
The Arboretum is free to walk around but there are other activities available that you need to pay for. The grounds are very well kept and there's probably enough to see to pass on a good hour or two.
There's a cafe/restaurant on site and gift shop for browsing around filled with lovely poppy themed goods.

Have been before, but not for a couple of years. There as been lots of work carried out since then. The restaurant has been enlarged bright and spacious. It's clean and airy. The choice of food and drinks are reasonable. Lots more to see in the grounds and this time found the Corp where my husband and I were stationed. We would recommend a visit there are lots for everyone to see and enjoy. You won't be disappointed.

In November 2014, Wiscasset said about National Memorial Arboretum
Very nice visit apart from the weather. Many memorials commemorating people who have died in all wars since the First World War to present day. Both large and small memorials set in hundreds of acres of land. Too many to see on a cold day but will go back. Very good restaurant serving a variety of food hot and cold. Nice gift shop.

We always wanted to visit the National Memorial Arboretum and it exceeded our expectations. It took us some 4 hours to walk the site and see most of the memorials, some of which were very poignant in today's world.
Land train available for those less able bodied.
Good value restaurant and of course free, although I would hope most donate generously.

A lot to see and you need all day to appreciate the history and the memories and to pay your respects
Good provision for toilets and restaurants from snacks to full meals
The site has got better and better as the years pass and more memorials are put in, I live locally and have visited a number of times with visitors to my home and they are always impressed by the site

What a great place to visit so moving however. Don't go for the jacket potato at the restaurant it was feeble. £4.95 and we got a potato with a sprinkling of dry cheese on top and no salad (that would have been extra). I reckon the ingredients cost £0.50p sorry but it was poor.
Go and have a coffee in the coffee shop instead that was very good.

In September 2019, Roly said about National Memorial Arboretum
Was told by the owner of a cottage we rented this was a nice place to come and see and we were not disappointed. My partner was in a wheelchair at the time but we still managed to get around most of the grounds which was quite fascinating and very well presented. They also have a good restaurant and a charming little cafe which we found were not expensive. We would recommend it is very worth a visit.
