No matter what he thinks the Arboretum is there for all, including people like him.

Near Litchfield, about 50 min drive from town. Stay on the A38 southbound until you see the signs.
Had me reduced to tears a few times as there are a few mates names on the walls but nevertheless a good day out. There's 154 acres so there's lots to see.

Good shots that capture what needs capturing. Have you visited the holocaust centre in notts?

I am conscious that many of those from central Chesterfield who served and died in the 1914-1918 conflict are not named on any local memorial. If anyone knows of those servicemen we will add them to the south side of the Garden. We will need financial support from families or sponsors to do this but feel there should be local recognition for the Chesterfield residents who gave their all for our freedom.
We are also looking to commemorate William Coffey VC and Thomas Gascoyne within the Garden.
