The Snowflake Trail is back for a 3rd year in Key Hill Cemetery and the weather laid on some real snow for us too!
The trail is free and open to everyone from 18th December until 1st January. Wrap up warm and explore, hunting for wooden snowflakes which hang from some of the trees forming a trail around the cemetery. Add the name of your loved one to our memory tree using the stars and snowflakes provided. Choose a decorative snowflake from the trail to take home for your own tree.
Please take care while walking as paths may be slippery in snowy, icy oe wet conditions. Please visit during daylight hours only.
Share your photos of your snowflake on your tree at home and tag us!
