Located in the heart of the country, just outside Alrewas, the National
Memorial Arboretum comprises 150 acres of trees and memorials
devoted to the concept of Remembrance.

Set within the National Forest of Staffordshire, near Lichfield, it was established
in 1997, on former gravel and sand pits gifted from Lafarge Aggregates and has
rapidly grown to become a focal point for commemoration and celebration. It already
contains 130 memorials of national significance. 

The Arboretum is the home of the new  Armed Forces Memorial which was opened
by the Queen in October 2007. It is a striking and emotive memorial and is quickly
assuming national significance. It gives recognition and thanks for those who have
died whilst on duty or as a result of terrorist action since the Second World War and acknowledges the enduring sacrifice of those who mourn their loss.

On your visit to Alrewas, it is well worth a trip to the National Memorial Arboretum.
