A guided walk in progressAll our guided walks now start from the entrance to the Glades of Remembrance, adjacent to the Cemetery Office.  There is a separate entrance to the Glades, with its own lay-by, off Cemetery Pales. Parking is available inside the entrance. Refreshments and toilet facilities are usually available.

A minimum suggested donation of three pounds (£3.00) per adult is made for these walks. No booking is necessary - just turn up and enjoy!

Brookwood Cemetery is near Woking, Surrey. It is adjacent to the A322 Guildford - Bagshot Road (Junction 3 off the M3). The entrance to the Cemetery is off Cemetery Pales, a road joining the A322 near the Brookwood cross-roads. See our location map. The postcode is GU24 0BL.

If you want to arrange your own walk through the cemetery you must get permission from Brookwood Cemetery to do so. There are new booking arrangements in place for which see this link on the Company's Website.
