Stonefall Cemetery

Every year we organise a varied programme of events aimed at improving our knowledge and enjoyment of designed landscapes, parks and gardens. Our visits are usually led by owners, head gardeners and researchers. We also arrange study days and lectures, both in person and by zoom.Members and non-members are welcome. For popular events, and for those limited by numbers, priority will be given to members. See website, or contact events@yorkshiregardenstrust.org.uk, for more information.We aim to maintain ticket costs at a reasonable level to ensure that our events are accessible. We include some element of fund raising in some of our visit prices to support our Small Grants, Bursary and Schools programmes.

A Stonefall Cemetery guide will take you on a tour of the cemetery which covers the history of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, who is commemorated and some casualty stories. It takes the visitor on a tour of the site from a First World War burial, to the Services Plot before ending in the large Air Force plot. The end point of the Air Force plot is where over 900 of the casualties are buried and where there is lots of horticulture to look at and you will be able to wander around freely with the guide on hand to answer any questions. One of the gardeners may also be available to answer your questions.The tour takes approximately 75 minutes.

The ground is level and it will be a mix of walking and standing on paths / grass.Ticket cost: £8.00 YGT members and non-members

Further details including directions will be sent to ticket holders in advance of the event
