National Memorial Arboretum with Land Train

Situated in the centre of England at Alrewas in Staffordshire, 10 minutes north of Lichfield.

 

The National Memorial Arboretum is the United Kingdom's living and lasting memorial to commemorate and celebrate:

• Those who have given their lives in the service of their country,

• All who have served and those who have suffered as a result of conflict,

• Others who for specific or appropriate reasons are commemorated on the site.

 

The Arboretum is a unique haven of peace, contemplation and hope for the future and is the site of the Armed Forces Memorial. It consists of 150 acres of wooded parkland within the National Forest in Staffordshire where visitors can both enjoy and learn about the trees and their surroundings, and reflect upon their special symbolism.

 

This year, we have included a trip on the land train. Complete with pre-recorded commentary, explore the grounds and the memorials you see along the way.

The Arboretum has a lot to offer both young and old. The Visitor Centre provides a welcoming start, break and finish point to your visit to the Arboretum. It houses the receception and exhibition areas, gift shop and the Arbour Restaurant.

 

Join us for a day out to enjoy the peace and tranquillity, the trees, the memorials, the history, the sense of national pride. Have lunch or drinks in the Arbour Restaurant; find all sorts of gifts and memorabilia in the shop; above all enjoy the experience.
