Whilst the military aspect of the NMA is obvious there are also gardens dedicated to pre/neonatal deaths\, the Home Front\, Bevan Boys\, the Burma Railway and much more.  Details may be found on their website. For those who find walking difficult there is a road train which goes around the site providing a commentary on the various memorials; it is fairly inexpensive.  The NMA itself is free so the price for the day will be approximately £12 per person which is certainly good value. If you would like to join the trip please contact the Society Secretary.
