NMA and Lichfield
The National Memorial Arboretum is a British site of national remembrance at Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire.
At the heart of the Arboretum is the Armed Forces Memorial, which is a tribute to over 16,000 service personnel who have lost their lives in conflict or as a result of terrorism since the end of the Second World War. At 11 am on 11 November each year the sun shines through two slits in the outer and inner walls of the memorial, casting a shaft of light across a wreath in the centre. Other areas of the site include an RAF 'wing', Naval review and Army parade.
Afternoon: Exploring Lichfield
Just a short drive away lies Lichfield, a gem of a city brimming with heritage and character. Begin with a leisurely walk around the city centre, where you’ll discover independent shops, quaint cafés, and bustling markets.
No visit to Lichfield is complete without seeing its iconic Lichfield Cathedral, the only medieval English cathedral with three spires. Step inside to admire its awe-inspiring architecture and stained glass, or simply enjoy the view from the surrounding Close.
Take time to stroll through the pretty streets, perhaps pausing by Beacon Park or following the city’s heritage trail to soak up its history.
A Day to Remember
The combination of the Arboretum’s reflective atmosphere and Lichfield’s vibrant yet historic charm creates a day out that is both meaningful and enjoyable. It’s the perfect balance: moments of quiet contemplation in the morning, followed by an afternoon of culture and exploration.
Prices:
> Adult - £25.00
