On this tour you will learn about the history of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and about some of the casualties buried in the cemetery.

Eastleigh cemetery was opened in 1898 with the first burial taking place in the August of 1901 and contains 51 graves from the First and Second World Wars.

The tour lasts approx. 90 mins and covers about 450 metres on paths and grass with uneven ground. There is wheelchair access to most areas.

There is no on-site parking available, off road parking is possible along Brookwood Avenue for 2 hours, or alternatively along Kipling Road. There are on-site facilities and toilets available but not always open.

Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

Well behaved dogs on a lead are welcome in the cemetery.

Please note there can be last minute cancellations. This can be due to various reasons including illness, site issues and weather. We will email you as soon as we can, but this could include the morning of the tour, so please check your emails prior to leaving for the tour.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) aims to actively engage all communities with the work of the CWGC by telling the inspiring stories through education and outreach projects.
