The tours lasts approx. 90 mins and covers about 1500 metres on grass and uneven ground.

Limited parking is available on site and nearby.

There are no facilities or toilets on site. Please bring water if required.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome in the cemetery.
