Join us for a gentle guided walk led by one of our knowledgeable volunteer guides. The walk, on flat terrain, is suitable for those who find walking difficult, but who would still enjoy a manageable shorter walk.
You will hear stories about some of the remarkable people buried here and the important contributions they made to all aspects of society. You will see Commonwealth War Graves, beautiful rose gardens and hear about musicians, retail visionaries, art dealers, scientists, agriculturists and philanthropists who changed the world, as well as a Chief Rabbi who fought against the white slave trade.
Start with a short video, while seated, in the Heritage Centre
Walk will last for about 50 minutes
Hot drinks are available at the end of the walk
Free parking
A wheelchair is available on request
The walk begins promptly at the Heritage Centre (the first building by the entrance). We encourage visitors to allow extra time before or after the walk to explore the Heritage Centre exhibition and the historic funerary buildings at their own pace.
Dates:
Sunday, 19 April
Wednesday, 6 May
