Wonderful place to visit. Beautifully landscaped. All memorial gardens and areas beautifully kept and so thoughtfully presented.<br>Staff are extremely helpful. Restaurant clean and well managed and lots of volunteers help in many areas of the arburetum..Thank you to all of them.<br>I love going here anytime of the year but always worth checking the website for any special occasions taking place.

Amazing peaceful arboretum with memorials and sculptures to remember those who have passed on. Extensive site with good wheelchair access in most places. Lots to explore. Café, restaurant and toilets on site. Everyone should visit here, nature and history combine.<br>Note: Prone to flooding following heavy rain as nearby river breaks its bank. Bring wellies!

This place is worth a visit for those who haven't been, have you walking shoes on as the Arboretum is spread over a vast area, you can get a land train tour which give you a talk about each memorial that you pass, all the details about why the memorial is there, there are plots there for the unexpected, it is not just for the forces, after hours of walking, there is a fabulous restaurant for lunch or just a snack, enjoy it's well worth it

Had visited twice before, this time we had more time to spend here. A lot had changed in 5 years. First we had a ride on the land train to get our bearings excellent value for money. Didn't realise how large the area covered. It is so moving and interesting. We had a sandwich in the restaurant which was lovely and the best coffee we had had in ages. Arrived at 10am and left at 4.15pm.

My father took us here to see a memorial that had his name on. A very beautiful place. Quiet, calm, a chance to think and reflect. My 2 daughters, aged 7 and 9 really enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the memorials, not all dedicated to war.
Beautifully kept, wonderful restaurant serving a variety of food. Will go back again as we didn't get to see everything.

Went here over the weekend and found it a fascinating place to visit.Thete are 150 acres and 300 memorials to see. There is a land train with commentary which will take you round which costs £6 And it's well worth going on this and maybe choosing a few memorials to visit in greater detail.There is a lovely restaurant serving decent price meals and snacks. The cost of admission is £7.50 or £6 for concessions
A place well worth a visit

A beautiful time to visit on a bright sunny crisp day where a bowl of hot soup in the restaurant is welcoming after a lovely walk on flat even paths. The memorials are thoughtfully laid out with my personal favourite being the recent addition of the Women's Land Army & Timber Corp. The £3 all day parking charge and free entry makes it exceptional value day out.

For £3 parking you could spend more than a day here. We caught a little train that shows you 70% of the grounds. It was very moving and we had a lovely day. I have recommended it to everyone I speak to about it. We also ate in the restaurant which has a lot of choice and it is great value for money. The staff are amazing and very helpful and professional. I will definitely return for another visit.

First trip to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire dedicated to the men and women who have lost their lives in conflict since the Second World War. Much bigger than I expected. Very well designed. Beautiful grounds even on a very cold, grey, windy, and for the latter part wet, March day. Good restaurant too. Well worth a visit. Grounds will be even better in the summer.
