WALKS & TALKS

We organise guided walks throughout most of the year.

On the second Sunday of each month there is a walk with a specific historical theme.

On the first Wednesday of each month there is either:
A Heritage walk, covering the history behind a selection of monuments
 or
A Wildlife walk describing aspects of the ecology of the Cemetery
   A full programme of wildlife/ecology events is detailed below   


In addition there are often
other events that do not fit a regular pattern.

 All walks start at the main gates at the end of Cemetery Road where parking is available. 


Where marked Please Book, contact Gillie Blake 023 80349414
or e-mail fosoc1846@googlemail.com

On the first Saturday of each month, volunteers meet at 10.00 am for task force work.

During the winter we sometimes have talks at St Alban's Church Hall, Tulip Road (off Burgess Road). ( Members £1.50 Non-members £2. Refreshments included).
