MEETING POINT is at the chapel near the entrance.
The cemetery contains war graves of both World Wars. During the early months of the 1939-1945 War ground was set aside by the local authorities about 40 yards north of the 1914-1918 plot for service war graves. This was not generally used, and the majority of the graves are in various parts of the cemetery, in positions chosen by those responsible for the interments. One sailor and one Merchant Navy seaman are not identified.
Limited parking available; on-site facilities; uneven ground; hilly/stepp slopes.
Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.
The CWGF is an independent charity registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (1171947) and Scotland (SC051982).
