Arbour - Alrewas

Easy access, well laid out and caters for everyone. Free to enter, £6 to park(June2022), cheaper if you book in advance. There's a Land Train for those less able. Too much to see in one day. You do not have to buy food there, you are free to take your own picnic and there are plenty of places to choose to sit. Quite an uplifting place, unusual considering the reason for its existence.

Without a doubt the most breathtaking experience, peaceful, respectful and emotional. I would recommend that all go as it is amazing. I learnt alot about different regiments, ones I hadn't heard of and the centre monument is one that no words can describe. Car park is only £4 all day, dogs are welcome and there is a lovely restaurant with teas, coffees and food all proceeds go to the NA . Entry is free but a donation can be made.

Return, shortly after the 40th anniversary of the Falkland war. the place is as good as ever, easier access to the parking good food options to reasonable trips and to explore a fairly flat area. on a very hot day it was a little hard to find shadows. but the area of the special forces is restful, respectful and informative. a few hours covering one area of arboretum, we go back to a later time to see another section. the new memorial of the police service is very good and somewhat overdue.

Fascinating place to visit on a good day. Expert landscapers have reclaimed a former quarry and landfill to create a permanent memorial to the many branches of our armed services. Beautiful and peaceful walks alongside the River Teme and a well appointed visitor centre with a cafe and restaurant. A land train is available if preferred and there is a small children's play area. We were told it is advisable to book that did not seem necessary midweek in March.

A very interesting place which is well worth a visit. We spent about 3 hours here in the very well keep grounds but it could easily have been longer. The memorials are all excellent and there a lot of them. The restaurant is also vert good.
