National Memorial Arboretum

En route to Blackpool where we were staying for the PAGB Inter Club National Print Finals, we decided to break the journey at The National Arboretum to take in some autumn colour.  Unfortunately, the autumn colour failed to live up to our hopes as most of the trees are still young.  The fact the the central memorial was also closed for maintenance prior to the Remembrance Day events was also disappointing.  Having said that I would certainly return if travelling up the M6 Toll road - the food was good and it was certainly a pleasant place to explore
