Description
Wildlife
Although this cemetery in the town centre is intensively managed, it nevertheless contains some species-rich acid grassland, a scarce habitat in the Borough. Plants characteristic of acid grassland, and scarce in the borough, include abundant bird's-foot and mouse-ear hawkweed, harebell alongside commoner species such as sheep's sorrel, lady's bedstraw, sticky groundsel, barren strawberry and birdsfoot-trefoil. The invasive species buddleia and cotoneaster have been recorded at the site.Facilities
