After a full English breakfast we travel to the National Memorial Arboretum with over 150 acres of trees and memorials devoted to the concept of Remembrance. 50,000 trees have been planted and as each tree matures it will provide a variety of woodland areas and open grass spaces. The aim of this living memorial is to offer families and friends of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country a green and pleasant land to remember their loved ones from all over the world. The rivers Tame and Trent flow through the site and there is an abundance of birdlife and wildlife to be seen, especially in the meadows and on the rivers. There are over 200 dedicated plots on this site to individuals and organizations including military, civilian victims of war, the Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulance services, charities, local and overseas organizations. A good way to explore this emotional site is take the land train where you can hop on/off as you please and an entire journey on this train will take around 50 minutes. Lunch is included.
