Immaculately kept (within) superb memorial but access not suitable for family with disabilities. Slippery surface/slope adjacent to the road with no handrails, non-slip slope or steps. Only a muddy uneven path from the roadside to the memorial entrance.
Farmers crops surround the memorial which adds to its charm, but on the day of our visit someone had obviously hidden amongst the crops and used the muddy path external to the memorial as a toilet. Toilet paper and faeces less than 10ft from the memorial entrance, a disgusting sight.
The cemetery deserves 5-stars, the access is the only main reason to score it less.
Also there were no cards left for CWGC comments and boundary hedge was ready for trimming.
These comments do not detract from the passion I have for the individual's honoured within this cemetery, but the Commonwealth War Graves Commission have let this place slip by comparison to others.
I have family ties to this place as my Great Grandad was a member of the Gordon Highlanders, his best friend is buried here so please don't think I'm being awkward, I just want this cemetery to deserve the same attention and respect as the many many others that CWGC look after so admirably.
