Use the turning off Cemetery Pales signposted 'cemetery office'. Parking and toilets available on site.

Dogs are not allowed in the main civilian cemeteries (north and south cemeteries). This is to ensure the cemetery remains a place of peace and tranquillity for all visitors, especially the bereaved. The site also has a wealth of wildlife interest, including deer, which we are keen to protect.
