It was opened by Lord Trenchard's grandson Viscount Trenchard on the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the Halto Apprenticeship scheme. We also wanted to see the "Red Paw" tribute our son was...

Our entire extended family of cousins, aunts, uncles and children visited together on a recent sunny Sunday. The perfect place to stroll, enjoy natural beauty, and teach older children a bit about history. It's very touching to see families with veterans there as well. The main monument puts me very much in mind of parts of The Mall in Washington... More

There are large and small memorials for the post-WWII period for the armed services of the UK and for nations closely linked to the UK. There are,... More

The Arboretum is still a work in progress - especially the planting of the trees and when it is mature it will be truly spectacular. At the moment you get the feeling it is not finished. Very busy on a weekday in May - mostly older people and veterans. Entrance is free but parking costs £2. It is mostly outdoors... More

There is nothing to dislike about here. We have had several visits and each time have come away feeling very contented and happy that we had been again. Just waiting to go again. Lovely place to walk about in, nice restaurant and church. Staff always very welcoming and happy to help. More

We have visited the NMA 7 times now and each time we have discovered more wonderful memorials. This wonderful place isn't easy to find but is near Alrewas on the A38 7 miles south of Burton-on-Trent. There is so much to see and it's the location of the National Memorial to all servicemen who have died in service since the... More
