WOW! What a beautiful peaceful place. As soon as you walked in the place the noise just disappears. The grounds are very well kept and looks amazing.
We arrived quite late in the day & so didn't have much time to look around all of it so you will definitely have most of the day free if you want to see everything but i saw what I needed to see with the help of a lovely volunteer.
I will definitely be returning!
Top tip: take tissues as its a very emotional place �
We will remember them! X
Attended the Summer Proms night and was a first time visit to the NMA. We had a great night, fabulous food, fantastic music and a beautiful setting for it all. The atmosphere was wonderful and the volunteers helping to man the event knowledgable and helpful. Even managed to find the memorial dedicated to my grandfather. Intend to visit again so we can visit the whole area. Lovely place.
Visited for the first time with 3 generations yesterday, all of whom found the visit a very moving experience. The grounds are lovely, despite the ravages of the summer and make a wonderful setting in which to contemplate the past and the future. The Shot at Dawn memorial and the blank space, from 2017 onward, on the Armed Forces memorial were particularly poignant.The staff and volunteers we met were friendly and knowledgeable about the memorials, pointing out aspects we may have otherwise missed. The restaurant was reasonably priced and offered a good range of hot and cold food, which enabled us to extend our day and see more of the arboretum afterwards.
