For our last day trip of 2023 we are going to the National Memorial Arboretum. The NMA has over 400 military and civilian memorials set in 150 acres offering peaceful woodlands, colourful gardens and riverside walks in Alrewas, Staffordshire.
Our coach will leave the Botanical Gardens entrance on Clarkehouse Rd at 9am and, the bus stop at the Ecclesall Rd end of Knowle Lane, at 9:15am. We will depart the NMA at 15:00, returning to the pickup points at around 16:30.
The cost of the trip is £17 per person. This is for the price of the coach only as entry is free, and this is non-refundable.
We have booked the land train for 11:00 (50mins). The discounted price is £6.50, payable in advance. Guided nature walks are also available on the day, subject to availability, for £5pp book & pay on arrival.
There is a restaurant on site.
