MEETING POINT at the Cross of Sacrifice near the main entrance.
Among the 13 Acres at Nottingham (Rock) Cemetery there are 101 Casualties from both World Wars including 2 Canadians and 2 Australians buried in Scattered Graves.
The first soldier buried here was Gunner Albert Atkin aged 42 originally buried in a Pauper's Grave and thanks to the CWGC has a more respectful place of rest. The Cemetery was opened in 1856 and designed by Edwin Patchitt.

The tour lasts approx. 60 mins and covers about 500 metres on paths and grass with uneven ground and slopes.
Parking is available on-site and nearby. There are no facilities or toilets on site. Please bring water if required.
Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
