NATIONAL MEMORIAL ARBORETUM AND WYCHNOR TRAIL | 7.5 MILES | STAFFORDSHIRE
November 4 @ 9:45 am - 2:15 pm GMT
🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
More info will be supplied when the risk assessment has been completed.
The trail is approximately 7.5 miles which includes the arboretum. The memorials are diverse in nature, rich in symbolism and represent a broad population of society, from military associations and charities to the emergency services, fraternity groups and individuals. Each year new memorials are added so there’s always something new to see.
The walk takes in the river and then two villages back into the arboretum so we have the opportunity to see the local area, not just the arboretum.
On the 3rd November they start the Field of Remembrance which is rather memorable. (website for more details: https://www.thenma.org.uk/
Entrance is free and a car is £4 if booked in advance.
