A beautiful and inspiring place, the 150-acres of the Arboretum form a living landscape, a home for more than 400 memorials waiting to be discovered.
Tales of bravery shown in the most extraordinary of times, selfless service and sacrifice, camaraderie and care are represented by the memorials. From the Armed Forces and Emergency Services to civilian organisations that supported our Nation in times of need, people from all walks of life are represented by the memorials, with designs that are rich in symbolism reflecting those they remember.
We recommend booking your visit in advance to guarantee entry and save on parking.
*summer opening hours: 10am - 5pm daily from Sunday 29 March 2026.
From September 2026, the National Memorial Arboretum will become known as the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens, following its integration with the RBL, its parent charity since 2003. The change reflects the evolution of the site over the past 25 years and its role at the centre of RBL’s national Remembrance work.
Why not arrive by bus, with our brand-new 7 day service operated by Diamond.
