Events including Walks
Weather, health and safety concerns and
other issues may cause events etc to be postponed or cancelled and you are
advised to contact the local group to confirm any detail nearer to the event.
Please note that any guidance on health and safety should be followed and in
some cases the ground may be wet, muddy and/or uneven and stout footwear and
suitable clothing is essential for outdoor events such as walks. Many
cemeteries were laid out in Victorian times and access may be restricted in
parts for safety reasons. The closeness in the grave plots, vandalism and
undergrowth may make access difficult for persons with mobility or sight
problems. Cemetery managers and voluntary groups of Friends may in some cases
be able to advise if there are any local facilities to assist disabled visitors
such as an individual to guide a visitor [and their escort or helper] but this
is best arranged prior to the proposed visit. Some cemeteries ban dogs, others
may permit dogs on a lead and if you propose to take a dog please check first
with either the cemetery manager or the local friends group.
