MEETING POINT inside the cemetery entrance.
Your sat nav may tell you to run right off the lane, please keep straight on until you see the cemetery sign.
The 1914-1918 War Graves are located in a naval plot which is situated on a mound in the centre of the cemetery. During the 1939-1945 War the cemetery was used for the burial of servicemen, the great majority of whom were men of the sea and lie in this naval plot. There are, however, a few war graves in other parts of the cemetery.
A Cross of Sacrifice has been erected in a central position in the naval plot.
There are now 4, 1914-1918 and nearly 130 1939-1945 War casualties commemorated in this site. In addition there is one unidentified 1939-1945 burial.
Limited parking available; no facilites on site; sloping ground.
Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
