We have 47 Commonwealth War casualties (all WW2) commemorated in this site, 10 Australian, 5 New Zealanders and 16 Canadians, one of the casualties is unidentified.
The tour lasts approx. 90 mins and covers about 50 metres on paths and grass with uneven ground and slopes. There is wheelchair access.
Parking will be directed by CWGC volunteers into the cemetery. No parking will be available by the roadside for safety reasons. There are no facilities or toilets on site, so please bring water if required.
Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
