6.9ha Cemetery in the centre of St Albans. 7 points of interest and 1 route
Hatfield Road Cemetery was opened in 1884, and over 30,000 people have been buried there since that date.
The cemetery includes a number of war graves, including military personnel from New Zealand, Australia and Canada, and the Council is proud to host an annual Anzac Day service at the war memorial in the centre of the cemetery.
The cemetery is laid out in a formal design, but its impact is softened by major tree planting, large shrubs and hedges.
