The National Memorial Arboretum
| Published: 14th January 2008 11:26 |
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 newly dedicated 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.
The Arboretum has a lot to offer both young and old. Come 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 our shop - above all enjoy the experience.
The staff and volunteers of the National Memorial Arboretum look forward to welcoming you.
