Absolutely treasurable place to visit. Makes you feel so humble as you walk around. So quiet, you can take everything in . they have recently built a replica WWll trench. I will never forget what our forefathers did so we could be here today.
We will remember them.

This is a must see must visit place. Give yourself a whole day as there is so much to see that you won't want to miss. Very emotionally moving and thought provoking. Wear good comfortable shoes as lots of walking.
Beautiful gardens to walk thru, plenty of things for the whole family, take time to also pay respects to our fallen heros, lest we forget

Lovely sunny afternoon. So well kept outdoor site. So many memories.
I thought that it is a place that everyone ought to visit. Coming from a family with a lot of military connections I was really impressed. It makes you realise what sacrifices have been made by our armed forces.
Absolutely love this place. Great to walk round and enjoy the space.
Interesting place with good facilities. With the restaurant facility it is worth a visit especially families.

Fantastic wet and a bit windy but worth the visit and would recomend it if only to visit the once
Lovely spacious place. Good for a nice quiet day out . Excellent coffee shop. Wouldn't recommend for young children. Nice to see all those remembered for what they did for us.
Perfect, so appropriate for it's purpose too. Easy to get in the moment and remember. So beautifully kept. How do they keep it so immaculate with only charity finance?
Amazing place shame on the weather dont do on a rainy day
Attended the Ride To The Wall for the 1st time in 2019, amazing place
Had a fantastic time at the Summer Proms. The fireworks were a wonderful finale. The organisation by the volunteer staff to get everyone away from the carparks in an orderly and timely way was a credit to them .
Thank you NMA
A reminder of all those sacrifices that our forebears have made for us in a really peaceful setting
Huge and thought provoking. A nice, tidy well presented memorial site bustling with memorial activities and a large flow of people.
Inspiring place, peaceful, tranquil, each visit we have been able to find different things to see.
Beautiful peaceful place thats well kept. Land train is interesting and informative. Only negative is the cafe is extortionate! Otherwise a lovely day out.

Lovely place , to pay your respects to those that have given so much .
Fantastic place. New memorials since I was last here. Staff friendly and helpful. Will go back soon.
A beautiful humbling experience. Staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. The train tour is a must. Everyone should try and visit and pay their respects to our heros
What can I say. Great place for remeberance, contemplation, a walk or just a sit in the cafe with some food and drink. Always something new to look at or a different part of the site to explore.
Wonderful reflective day. A must for all to visit, definitely visiting again very soon. Thank you.

My first visit a peaceful tranquil place felt emotional today these people have given their lives ... it makes you understand how terrible war is the huge sacrifices people make ..please make effort to see this inspiring place...
Very sombre and moving space. Absolutely first rate gardening team!!
Very peacefull and the staff are very helpfull and a good cafe that serves hot amd cold food
Wow, just wow... We barely managed to see half of what was on display due to the kids getting grouchy but the tributes we did were wonderful... You can really feel a sense of patriotism as you explore... And the memorials aren't just to the obvious servicemen but also to the less thought about, such as the members of the Royal Mail
A really interesting day out. A reminder of our history and people's selflessness
What better place to remember and show our appreciation to those who lost their lives. Well worth the trip.
Great place to visit nice and quiet plenty of time to reflect
The National Memorial Arboretum is a unique and special place in the UK that serves as a year-round place to remember. It is located in Staffordshire, England, and covers an area of 150 acres. The arboretum is home to over 30,000 trees and more than 350 memorials dedicated to those who have served their country.
The National Memorial Arboretum was established in 1997 with the aim of creating a living tribute to all those who have served their country. The arboretum has since become one of the most popular visitor attractions in the UK, attracting over 300,000 visitors each year.
One of the things that make the National Memorial Arboretum so special is its beautiful grounds. The arboretum's grounds are open throughout the year and are free for visitors to enter. Visitors can take a peaceful stroll through the gardens or sit quietly by one of the many memorials dedicated to fallen soldiers.
The National Memorial Arboretum also offers guided tours for visitors who want to learn more about its history and significance. These tours are led by knowledgeable guides who can provide insight into each memorial's meaning and significance.
In addition to its beautiful grounds, the National Memorial Arboretum also hosts events throughout the year that celebrate our nation's heritage and honor those who have served their country. These events include concerts, exhibitions, lectures, and remembrance services.
One of these events is Armed Forces Day which takes place annually on June 27th at NMA where people come together from across Britain showing support for our Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families; veterans; cadets; reservists & charities associated with them.
Another event hosted at NMA every November is Remembrance Sunday which commemorates all those who lost their lives during conflicts around world wars I & II as well as other conflicts since then such as Falklands War or Gulf War etc., it’s an opportunity for people across Britain show respect towards fallen heroes by laying wreaths at various memorials within NMA premises including Cenotaph replica situated there too!
Overall, if you're looking for a peaceful place where you can reflect on our nation's history while honoring those who have served it - look no further than The National Memorial Arboretum!
