MEETING POINT at the CWGC plot in the middle of the cemetery.

The 1914-1918 burials are scattered in the cemetery.

During the early part of the 1939-1945 War the local authorities set aside ground for service war graves in compartments 345 and 346, which are in the newer part of the cemetery. This small War Graves Plot also contains the graves of German and Italian servicemen who died while prisoners of war in various camps in the neighbourhood.

There are now over 30, 1914-1918 and nearly 50, 1939-1945 war casualties commemorated in this site.

Parking available nearby, no facilities or toilets at the weekend; uneven ground; wheelchair access.

Please dress for the weather and wear suitable stout footwear as it's about a 2km walk.

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).
