Description
Wildlife
The grasslands on this cemetery site are mown relatively frequently but have not been damaged by herbicide treatment. There are no very unusual species in the grasslands but they contain very abundant populations of some colourful common herbs. These include yarrow, common bird's-foot-trefoil, ribwort plantain, selfheal and germander speedwell. White stonecrop grows abundantly in many places on the stony substrates covering the graves. Most of the site is open but lines of trees occur on the edges.Facilities
