Take the 3rd exit (last exit) past the CWGC cross and follow this road to the next junction on your left. Here is the CWGC area of the cemetery, you can park anywhere along these roads.

Hull, the third largest port in the United Kingdom, was subjected to many heavy air raids throughout the Second World War, although the Humber was strongly defended by heavy anti-aircraft guns, by barrage balloons, and by ships of the home fleet.

On the tour we will visit allied, German and Italian graves, the screen wall remembering those from cemeteries lost ,and in the scattered graves we will look at a Dambuster crew member.

Parking available on site; on-site facilities and toilets; uneven ground.

Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
