National Memorial Arboretum
The National Memorial Arboretum is the UK's year-round centre of
Remembrance; a spiritually uplifting place which honours the
fallen, recognises service and sacrifice, and fosters pride in our
country. The Arboretum is part of The Royal British Legion family
of charities.
Sited in the heart of the Nation, with 50,000 maturing trees and
160 memorials, it is a beautiful and lasting tribute to those who
serve their country or who have died in conflict.
Visitors from all walks of life number around 300,000 per year,
including Service personnel, veterans, students of all ages, groups
and individuals. Over 200 special events are held annually. The Act
of Remembrance, including a Silence, is observed daily in the
Millennium Chapel.
The Arboretum is home to the striking Armed Forces Memorial
which commemorates those who have been killed on duty or as a
result of terrorism from the end of the Second World War to the
present day.
An £8 million redevelopment campaign has been launched to create
a world-renowned Remembrance Centre worthy of those who give so
much to our country.
Open daily (except Christmas Day) with free admission.
