The main entrance to the cemetery is on Gladstone Road which can be reached by turning south off the A756 (St Michael's Bridge Road) on to Troqueer Road.

Interesting to note both German and Italian graves there, with their passing- for some - after VE-Day. Thanks.

An interesting well maintained cemetery. i would say possibility the largest number of German POWs left in their original resting place and not reinterred at Cannock Chase when the consolidated cemetery opened in the mid 1960s.
